Towards New Rhythmic Horizons of Education. An Ecocritical Approach to the Theater Play Terrenal

Abstract

This paper reflects on a philosophy of education centered on the perception of rhythms in accordance with forms of relationship with the environment, based on care for life. In this direction, we will carry out an ecocritical analysis of the play Terrenal. Pequeño misterio ácrata (2014) by Mauricio Kartun, which allows theorizing about the relevance of paying attention to the rhythms, pulses, and harmonies of literary texts (and other artistic formats) in the construction of educational proposals that aspire to dislocate the expansive logic of the current societies of globalized capitalism. The critical analysis of this issue is of particular relevance when it comes to envisioning alternative ways of life that can be related, in a more harmonious way, to the scales and proportions emerging from the interaction between the multiplicity of beings that make up a territory of life.
