| Sumario: | This text proposes to analyze some of the experiences of Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957), Chilean teacher, writer, intellectual and diplomatic, with rural education. It will address her childhood in northern Chile, her relationship with Pedro Aguirre Cerda —president of that country between 1938 and 1941— and her travels and work in Mexico, where she met a broad concept of education, and in Brazil, where she approached referents intellectuals committed to education and public policy. These experiences produced changes in the author, leaving marks in her work and writing, leading her to build a concept of education that valued traditional and rural knowledge, transmitting, through narratives, her own experiences and those of other subjects excluded by modernity: children, women and indigenous people, among others. All these experiences were amalgamated into a particular genre of Mistralian writing called "Recados" (notes) which, according to the author's words, included her “rural tone”, her most personal, with what she lived and what she was going to die, and which formed part of her commitment to rural education in their home country, putting “useful” information into circulation in this field. |
