Transforming aesthetic education from Latin America

Abstract

This paper explores the possibilities of an epistemological turn from Latin America in the field of aesthetic education in the era of globalization, with specific contributions to the field formulated by Chachavorty Spivak, Jacques Rancière, Bruno Latour, Wendy Brown, Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben and the Constitution of Ecuador. The article argues that the changes operated in the human sensorium in the globalization era demand an epistemological turn of teachers and students towards new ways of teaching and learning and proposes some transversal axes that can nurture this turn of aesthetic education. And, finally, this paper formulates some proposals that became evident in the pandemic that provoked a cybernetic becoming of education, and, moreover, the imperious need to strengthen democracy, care for the Earth and gender equity.
