MARTINEZ MARTINEZ, Miguel Ángel. Pedagogies in the face of disappearance. An approach to the philosophy of education from the search for disappeared persons. Franciscanum [online]. 2023, vol.65, n.180, pp.5-5.  Epub Feb 12, 2024. ISSN 0120-1468.  https://doi.org/10.21500/01201468.6237.

The national educational project seeks to establish a democratic, comprehensive and inclusive culture that addresses the structural problems the country suffers from, as stated and promoted by the New Mexican School (NEM). However, educational strategies reproduce hegemonic discourses, as well as normative frameworks of understanding and valuation that consolidate the structural violences that besiege bodies and territories. Based on the observant participation of schools in the national search brigades for missing persons in Mexico, we propose a critical analysis of formal education from a pedagogy in the face of disappearance, which opens possibilities for an education for the victims of serious human rights violations, such as the victims of enforced disappearance. This approach offers alternatives to the frameworks of normalization of violence, precarization and contempt for systematically violated sectors. From such coordinates, the text is positioned from the philosophy of intersectional education, in an anamnenic key, as a tool for the restoration of historical situations strained by violence and as a device that favors the construction of a culture of peace.

Keywords : forced disappearance; philosophy of education; pedagogies of absence; intersectional education; structural violence.
