Insectopoesía : resignificando las emociones que suscita el contacto con los insectos a través de la poesía

Abstract

The creation research project arises from the research and systematization of the research "Insects at school: An approach to the redefinition of children's conceptions of insects" Reyes and Sánchez (2020) A category is taken up called the emotions aroused by contact with insects, the emotions that were identified during the investigation were fear and disgust, in the course of the investigation it was found that these emotions were accompanied by imaginary about insects, such as that they are all poisonous, dirty , ugly and insignificant. The questions that guide this creative work are: How to resignify the conceptions about insects through poetry? Can poetry resignify the emotions of disgust and fear towards insects? Responding to these questions, poetry is considered as a instrument full of possibilities to promote this end. Therefore, it is proposed to work on the emotions of fear and disgust from possession in order to assess to what extent knowing the emotions expressed by others can facilitate the development of individual emotional awareness and therefore a change in relationships and conceptions about insects, the approach to the poetic experience will have implications for the reality of the students and therefore positive implications for human development.
