Educación Intercultural: El problema de la identidad latinoamericana visto desde las estéticas populares

Intercultural education is another epistemic, political and ontological project, destined to fight against the marginalization of the knowledge of the original peoples and of the diverse collective imaginaries. However, this orientation has not always been consistent with the crushing reality that exists in the Latin American context, where social asymmetries, poverty, corruption and other adverse factors prevent an adequate understanding of the symbols of culture. For this reason, this research aims to analyze the epistemic foundations of intercultural education, understood as the foundation required to build critical pedagogies, according to the social context. Based on these conceptual guidelines, he proposes singing and poetry as elements belonging to the rebellious aesthetic, which enrich the senses, sensations, feelings and community reasoning. In this way, it is possible to think of another intercultural education, to the extent that plurality is evidenced as the foundation of human rights; essential requirement of democratic societies.
