Weaving down. The transhumant political-pedagogical praxis among the rebellious epistemes

Abstract

This article is the result of a research paper focused on the implementation of an analytical design within a qualitative methodological approach. As part of the ethnographic study, I have relied mainly on participant observation both in events and in popular education workshops organized by the Red Trashumante (Transhumant Network). The objective is to offer reflections on some differences between banking education and the popular education model promoted by the Red Trashumante. The latter is an Argentinean organization that conducts popular education workshops in different settings to promote social projects and strengthen the relations among community members. It emerged in 1998 as a critical response to the neoliberal macro-context that prevailed at that time in Argentina, period during which Carlos Menem was president (between 1989 and 1999). It is concluded that the popular education of the Red Trashumante practices spiral thinking and holistic perception, as opposed to the linear prism and Cartesian mind-body separation, respectively, both characteristic of banking education and canonical academia.
