LÁPIZ N˚5 

Schooling in the Caribbean and  Latin America: Reproduction,

Resistance, Revolution 


With contributions by Kique Cubero García and Ariana González Stokas, Cecilia Diego, Rebecca Tarlau, and Catherine Walsh. 

"The four contributions to LÁPIZ N˚5 elaborate how Caribbean and Latin American movements practice deschooling, transform schools to practice dual power co-governance against existing state powers, and create alternative sites of learning through care and mutual aid, while avoiding essentialized or romanticized notions of pre-colonial Indigenous learning histories. Our hope is that reading across these varied case studies can help ferment and foment a more vibrant ecosystem of pedagogically focused struggles for liberation in the Caribbean and Latin America. Furthermore, we offer that those based in the United States can evolve our inquiring paths in closer relationship with these hard-won epiphanies in our own hemisphere."

Enrique Dussel is considered one of the founding philosophers of liberation in the Latin American tradition, an influential arm of what is now called decoloniality. While he is astoundingly prolific, relatively few of his works can be found in English translation. Pedagogics of Liberation represents Dussel's early thought on pedagogics, or the field of philosophical inquiry that examines face-to-face relationships where there are inequalities, like teacher-student, adult-child, politician-community, and philosopher-nonphilosopher. The book provides a decolonial concept of education writ large, delimiting a liberatory pedagogics from an oppressive pedagogics by weaving together Latin American and European intellectual traditions. In this presentation, co-translator David I. Backer will give a brief sketch of the book's claims and the process of translating it into English.

WHAT'S NEW

   LÁPIZ N˚4

   The Pedagogies of Social   

   Movements in the Americas

 

With contributions by Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, Bruno Baronnet, Lia Pinheiro Barbosa, Bret Leraul, and Targol Mesbah

"In different ways the essays in LÁPIZ N˚4 address the knowledge practices 

authored by Latin America’s recent social movements. In doing so, the authors enter into a tenuous and fraught dialogue between the movement knowledges they describe and the university knowledges they, like so many of us, are compelled to produce. This has always been the promiscuous enterprise of LÁPIZ and the Latin American Philosophy of Education Society: to conjugate the experiences, practices, knowledges of activists, educators, and academics from across the Americas."

   The Pedagogics of Liberation:

   A Latin American Philosophy of

   Education

 

By Enrique Dussel (Punctum Books, 2019)

Introduction by Linda Martín Alcoff

Translated by Ana Cecilia Diego and David Backer

"Enrique Dussel is considered one of the founding philosophers of liberation in the Latin American tradition, an influential arm of what is now called decoloniality. While he is astoundingly prolific, relatively few of his works can be found in English translation — and none of these focus specifically on education. Founding members of the Latin American Philosophy of Education Society David I. Backer and Cecilia Diego bring to us Dussel’s The Pedagogics of Liberation: A Latin American Philosophy of Education, the first English translation of Dussel’s thinking on education, and also the first translation of any part of his landmark multi-volume work Towards an Ethics of Latin American Liberation."
