Zona escolar, imaginación comunicativa de la escuela en la radio. Programa: " Sabios, eruditos y genios en el mundo actual"

Abstract

The program began with a reflection on the Spanish poet Miguel Hernández, whose work, born from exile and war, represents the power of the word to transcend reality. This served as a starting point to argue that genius is not just a high IQ, but a quality that is lived out daily through creativity, reinvention, and the ability to dream. It was emphasized that wisdom resides in men and women who, whether from school or "non-school," inhabit the world with their words and actions. Music played a crucial role in the program's narrative. The song "El Sabio" by Héctor Lavoe was used to critique those who boast of knowledge but lack true wisdom, which is humility and simplicity. An audio fragment of the writer Eduardo Galeano on the "right to dream" reinforced the idea that genius is the ability to imagine a better world. Tribute was paid to the rapper Eazy-E from the group N.W.A., highlighting his role in denouncing police abuse through his music, showing the power of word and art as tools of resistance and social change. The song "La Sabia" by Mercedes Sosa was presented as an example of popular wisdom, where the artist uses music to convey ideas that change society and awaken the spirit of youth. The program featured the participation of students and a popular communication collective who debated the application of these concepts. Students from the South Technological Institute highlighted figures such as the mime Marcel Marceau and the writer Julio Cortázar as true geniuses and scholars, not only for their talent but for their ability to transform society and be misunderstood. An audio clip from the collective "Memoria y Saber Popular" (Memory and Popular Knowledge) presented a dialogue between a mother and her son, who wanted to be a scientist. This segment served to debunk myths about science, such as that it is exclusive to the rich or that it has no practical use. It was argued that science is for the people and that through it, community problems can be solved. The example of organic fertilizer created by Colombian engineers was mentioned. It was concluded that true wisdom and genius reside in the ability to be persistent, to not settle for mediocrity, and to use knowledge for the common good, regardless of whether it's done anonymously or with recognition.
