Education, Resistance and Knowledge in Latin America: Towards a Theory from Social Movements

Abstract

The purpose of this text is to reflect on the existing relationships of knowledge and also its place within the context of political resistance, education and the construction of an educational theory from Latin American social movements. To do so the author will address three cases related to the concepts of education and pedagogy that emerge from the political struggle social movements are involved in. These have become seedbeds in the conformation of a political-historical subject and in the elaboration of a theory to analyze what is real and concrete in our historical time and the challenges to the interpretation of coloniality and the contradictions of capital.
