Body is written with p, w and t: presence, word and thought in rural schools today

Abstract

The study inquires about how children incorporate their corporeal experiences with the reading and writing processes in the El Trilladero School of the municipality of San Sebastián (Cauca), through the understanding of body as a condition of possibility that permeates all experiences and literature as a contingency that makes the narration of the body possible. The methodological approach is based on the principles of reflective ethnography, as well as the contributions of practical phenomenology. The findings are presented in three categories: presence that narrates, words that inhabit and thought in action.
