Resumen

Mi enfoque en este documento conceptual se centra en la elección de conceptos teóricos y su uso basado en el lugar analíticamente para la construcción de conocimiento sobre idiomas y alfabetizaciones en la educación matemática. Esto es impulsado por dos preocupaciones relacionadas: que la búsqueda de certeza, estabilidad y permanencia del significado de los conceptos analíticos da origen a algunas existencias, y no a otras; y que los conceptos adquieren significado en un lugar relacional y geopolítico en pasados, presentes y futuros entrelazados. Escribo desde y para mi contexto en el Sur geopolítico relacional, un contexto plagado de preguntas sobre qué conocimientos y prácticas, para quién y utilizando qué idiomas y alfabetizaciones. Propongo una imaginario del mundo como un archipiélago de contextos geopolíticos. Este es un mundo complejo en el que las aperturas y cierres, las movilidades y permanencias, las continuidades y discontinuidades, los entrelazamientos y separaciones, y la incompletitud de idiomas y alfabetizaciones y sus significados son la norma, más que un problema. Argumento a favor de un cambio en el pensamiento; desde el estudiante como migrante lingüístico, hasta flujos y fracturas de significado en el espacio y el tiempo. Porque es en estas (im)movilidades donde surgen las inequidades, pero también donde reside el potencial para el rediseño. Ofrezco este pensamiento basado en el lugar para fomentar conversaciones sobre los conceptos en uso en otros contextos, hacia el fortalecimiento de la construcción de conocimiento en la educación matemática, sin universalizar.

Biografía del autor/a

  • Kate le Roux, University of Cape Town

    Kate le Roux is Associate Professor in Language Development in the Centre for Higher Education Development, University of Cape Town, South Africa. Her research is located at the intersection of language, mathematics and the learning of disciplinary knowledge in engineering and science. This focuses on equity, access, (re)design, power, justice, relations, and place, in multilingual contexts. She draws theoretically from critical thinking in mathematics education within the socio-political and socio-ecological, languages and literacies, and decolonial thinking.
