Building Schooling from Insurgent Education: "Kom Pu Lof Ñi Kimeltuwe" and the "Mapuce Bafkehce Pedagogy"
Pedagogy, Culture and Society, v32 n3 p777-793 2024
Western modernity has systematically made ancestral and indigenous knowledge invisible through their use of scientific logic, making school a space of hegemonic control through the western knowledge taught in the official curriculum. Despite that, in Chile advances in matters of constitutional recognition and cultural value are rare. Ten years ago, on the country's southern coast, the first "mapuce bafkehce" school was erected with a curriculum designed to reflect and benefit its own territory. The "Kom Pu Lof Ñi Kimeltuwe" is an institution that, through "mapuce bafkehce" pedagogy and insurgent education, challenges and reframes "kimeltuwun/kimkantun" (teaching-learning) practices. This paper provides an account of the insurgent education which took place in "Jaqepvjv lof" while also exploring the central elements that constitute the educational project present in this Lof, known as "Kom Pu Lof Ñi Kimeltuwe," located in the Araucanía Region, Teodoro Smith commune, Chile.
