| Sumario: | After the Second World War and fully immersed in the political-territorial dispute between socialism and capitalism, Latin America experienced a moment of great turmoil between those who wanted to close processes of change and those who dreamed of a radical transformation.
On the one hand, there were coup d'État, that led to military dictatorships. On the other, liberation movements emerged and revolutions triumphed across the continent. Among several, the Cuban Revolution in 1959 simultaneously became an inspiration and a ghost for millions.
In those years, of new social and political forces and processes with an emancipatory sense, emerge two key works to think about the period Pedagogía del Oprimido by Paulo Freire (1968/1970) and Teología de la Liberación by Gustavo Gutiérrez (1971). The first one specifically, was a response (and a proposal) to this context. A situated praxis that seeks to build tools and guiding principles for action. In this work then, we will track - through analysis of written documentary and bibliographic systematics-how these converged in Freire’s work and what elements of it are taken up with renewed modes in political praxis. |
