On knowledge and aesthetics: some learning experiences for a possible high school

Abstract

This paper reports part of two processes of inquiry about two educational experiences: a high school in the city of Santa Fe and a pedagogical proposal of the Ministry of Innovation and Culture of the Province of Santa Fe. They are considered relevant to be studied by the modes, dispositions and decisions that are deploying with the sense of enabling broad training practices. Both suggest the possibility of thinking in high school from unpublished tours that sensitivities, aesthetics and knowledge in processes of subjectivation. The two studies were held in a qualitative perspective as they intend to understand and interpret the complexity of their objects, rather than confirm budgets and claim totalizing. The article attempts to describe part of the wealth implied by these routes. To do this, the first part presents general and common frame which links them. A second one, describes particularities, questions and central categorical referents, as well as the relevant features reported in each empirical work. Finally, reflections built in the heat of both study experiences are shared, which are proposed as possible directions for the secondary school.
