Las infantas, una pedagogía irreverente para el análisis de la construcción de la subjetividad femenina infantojuvenil en Colombia

Abstract

The research process Las Infantas, una Pedagogía Irreverente para la Construcción de la Subjetividad Femenina Infantojuvenil arises as a proposal of virtual educational intervention in the framework of the COVID-19 pandemic mediated by experiential workshops in the year 2020, where girls from the city of Bogotá weaved a space for learning and intersubjective enrichment, to which later girls and young people from the cities of Medellín, Cali, Bucaramanga and La Guajira joined. This project has several stages and actions that have been maintained over time, where educational proposals designed and led by the participants stand out, this allowed building a bilateral communication that effectively and affectively nurtured the actions designed for the formative spaces. The leadership role of the Infantas made it possible to direct efforts to replicate actions designed to meet their needs and the questions inherent to being a woman in Colombia. Mediated by word circles, experiential workshops, blogs and the intervention of multiple expressive languages, a scenario was configured that allowed participants to share their narratives, voices and experiences about women's experiences from their particularities and contexts. From these spaces emerges the need to investigate how the pedagogical spaces of interlocution between women nurture the construction of female subjectivity and contribute to the construction of the female subject, to the creation of situated knowledge, to the resignification of the relationship with their peers and to the possibilities of agency and participation that they find in nearby scenarios. This analysis is guided by the theoretical body and the critical perspective suggested by the feminist epistemologies of the South, which, from a situated and respectful perspective, intervene in this process to provide a methodological guide. Irreverent Pedagogy for Infantas is the result of a space that invites to think of education as a scenario of possibilities, where the particularities, oppressions, resistances and challenges that women have in their daily lives are valued and the urgency of thinking of transgressive pedagogies with a gender approach, intersectional and with sociocultural relevance can be made evident.
