Imaginarios sociales en los textos escolares de lengua castellana

Abstract

This book offers a tour of invisible geographies, with logic, canons, conceptions and imaginaries, on the one hand, and discursive and iconographic actions, on the other. It was started from the fact that the school textbook is an essential element that implies information about an area or discipline, in a specific context and time. In this framework, school textbooks cease to be a strictly educational problem and become a sociopolitical one, since the purpose of education is to train for knowledge within a coexistence; Its object is no longer just the speeches, but all the demonstrations that require the organization of new alternative and democratic curricula that make possible and fun worlds for the boys and girls of this country who need it so much. The above calls for language as a premise for the acquisition of knowledge, to resort to the text, as well as to work on strategies that allow the construction of innovative pedagogies in which dialogic and equitable processes are installed that involve critical thinking from their realities.
