Political dissidence from the educational-cultural point of view, the example of “School For Everyone” in Central América

Abstract

This paper seeks to elucidate whether a popular educational event in the Central American region can be conceptualized as a form of political dissidence from a cultural point of view. To this end, the educational project is described from three angles: its doctrinal profile, its philosophical foundations (from an intercultural perspective) and its curricular structure. Then, from an ethical-political analysis and following the categorical clues of three authors who deal with the subject of political dissidence, it is possible to offer conclusions about the relevance of such category for the educational experience treated. Thus, three basic aspects are reviewed: its symbolic form in everyday cultural imaginaries, its capacity to be actualized in temporal change, and its axiological affectation in the subjectivities involved.
