Experiencias otras de aproximación a los saberes y construcción de sentidos.

Abstract

Other experiences of approaching knowledge and construction of meanings explores transformative pedagogical initiatives in the Department of Languages ​​of the National Pedagogical University. From a decolonial and intercultural perspective, it questions the traditional and hegemonic structures of higher education, proposing the integration of emotions and narratives as other ways to rethink the teaching and learning processes. The text rescues significant experiences that arise from moments of academic abnormality, community struggles and alternative proposals inside and outside the university. Through a narrative methodology, the book details five stories that highlight the potential of emotions, memory and dialogue in the construction of knowledge, making visible resistance to academic oppression. These experiences include the revitalization of the Muysca language, the dialogue of knowledge between teachers and research teachers with the knowledge of different indigenous peoples, and alternative pedagogical spaces that connect with students as systemic beings. This work is an invitation to reimagine education as a sensitive and collective space, capable of articulating the cognitive, the emotional and the political in search of epistemic justice, social justice and cultural transformation.
