Resumen

Este ensayo aborda cómo los jóvenes manifestantes de Parkland están reescribiendo la resistencia como un esfuerzo individual y colectivo, creando una nueva visión de esperanza y lucha de masas. En el centro de sus esfuerzos está el intento de hacer la educación como algo central para la propia política. Al hacerlo, buscan redefinir la educación como una forma de traducir cuestiones personales en preocupaciones sistémicas mayores, cambiando la forma en que las personas ven las cosas e invirtiendo en diversos modos de comunicación, para usar elementos de creencia y persuasión como armas apropiadas de lucha. Por las nuevas tecnologías digitales y medios, estos jóvenes están redefiniendo los paisajes de la pedagogía y la resistencia. Este artículo explora sus esfuerzos como una nueva manera de conectar política y educación.

Biografía del autor/a

Henry A. Giroux, McMaster University

Throughout his life, Henry Giroux has sought to develop a critical theory of education, emphasizing crucial intersections between the role of education in schools and universities with that of culture and public life. His vision of critical pedagogy advocates for the need to make pedagogy central to politics itself, and to help create the conditions necessary for the development of a formative culture that provides the foundation for developing critical citizens and a meaningful and substantive democracy.
