Critical Pedagogy is a philosophy and approach to education which has influenced theory and practice for almost 50 years, most recently in the fields of Applied Drama and performative pedagogy. However, what exactly is understood by Critical Pedagogy in the 21st century is unclear, and whether its roots still align with the ideas and practices of its progenitor Paulo Freire is uncertain. Therefore, this systematic review of literature aims to explore the interpretations of Critical Pedagogy presented in 100 peer-reviewed papers published in recent times. After identifying frequently emergent themes in the selected literature, which are associated with the work of Freire, this paper examines the degree of consensus around Critical Pedagogy’s transformative aim, its associated democratic classroom approaches, and the concepts of conscientization and praxis. Through this analysis, the review distinguishes a number of peripheral discussions that are related to a modern/postmodern debate within the literature. This paper concludes by asserting that there are more points of convergence than of divergence in the various interpretations of Critical Pedagogy available in the articles surveyed. We suggest that the current branching out of Critical Pedagogy has not been rendered devoid of core meanings as an educational tradition, one which holds considerable potential for the field of Applied Drama, and for other forms of performative education.
Si bien el ámbito Teatro y Educación ha avanzado hacia una mayor legitimidad en Chile, existen pocas investigaciones respecto de los marcos que guían el quehacer en el aula, emergiendo la pregunta: ¿cuáles son las bases bibliográficas y metodológicas a las que adscriben educadoras/es teatrales en Chile? Para responder a esa pregunta se aplicó una encuesta a personas que realizaron programas de pregrado o extensión en teatro y educación en Chile entre 2010 y 2020. Los hallazgos de esta investigación contribuyen a delimitar o definir este dominio en Chile, confirmando la influencia de marcos conceptuales y modelos cuya prevalencia debe leerse en relación con las reglas que definen la validación-legitimación de determinadas perspectivas y posicionamientos disciplinares.
En este artículo se identifican hitos cruciales para el desarrollo del Teatro para Audiencias Jóvenes (TPAJ) de la década del 2000 en Chile. Se presenta una visión sintética del TPAJ en Chile, reconociendo, en base a nociones Bourdianas, una tensión entre objetivos educativos y objetivos artísticos que ha implicado la deslegitimación de este tipo de creaciones. El artículo analiza entrevistas a agentes significativos del periodo para discutir cómo ciertos hitos contribuyeron a legitimar el TPAJ en el campo teatral chileno, buscando un balance entre educación y arte y enfatizando el respeto por la capacidad de sus audiencias de tener experiencias estéticas valiosas.
