    One more thing, there's an essay that was published last month in the Journal of Critical Animal Studies that offers a more extended critique of Freire's work and some very interesting thoughts for moving towards a critical pedagogy for and with nonhuman animals. We definitely recommend reading it if you watched the video and wanna follow up with some of the thoughts we've been discussing in the second part of the video.
    👉 The essay is called, Zoögogy of the Oppressed and is written by Ralph Acampora - you can find it here: journalforcriticalanimalstudies.org/jcas-volume-18-issue-1-february-2021/

    Love this. I have always loved Freire but regretted the limits of his anthropocentrism. This was a wonderful video to stumble upon.

      Thank you, we're glad to hear! Re-thinking and re-visiting Freire, and other anthropocentric, but revolutionary thinkers, is one way to go forward :)

    A new view of a staple of my country's education. Here in Brazil we still suffer a lot with social injustice and colonial inheritance. I would never even consider this view, if weren't for your videos. I hope one day we manage to deal with oppression.

      Revolution almost always regress a society. This "pedagogy" is destructive, it says some flowery things to hide it, but it hurts students, and destroys knowledge.

    This is like really great. I love how you don't pretend to be neutral but let your values show in what you say and how you say it, that also goes really well with the topic. And the drawing happening is so beautiful 💚
    At first I thought Friere was a little out of place for this channel but boy did you show me wrong. I've got a new interesting link between (critical) pedagogy and AR in my brain now that's gonna come out in many great ways, I can feel it☺️
    So thanks again 💚

      Oh, thank you from all of us! 💜 That's so good to hear, we're glad whenever our videos lead to some interesting new connections! We try as much as we can to be thoughtful, caring, AND critical towards the thinkers that inspire us in some way.

      Freire's work is purely destructive, it exemplifies the phrase, "throwing out the baby with the bath water."

      Those are your opinions and concerns as an adult. It has no place in K-12 education for the most part. This is appropriate for college classrooms only when the students should be seen as the equals of the teacher. These things are not the burden of young children! It also opens up discussions that should be had with the parents as they see fit not the teachers. I have never heard of this guy but I was not taught to simply use a "banking" method to teach students. Their own thoughts and working independently and in groups was taught as well as teaching to different learning styles and abilities. This takes a very narrow view of education that doesn't involve this guy's philosophy.

  • @stevedempsey5098
    @stevedempsey5098 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    That was very interesting. I'd not even hear about Friere before.
    I don't disagree that teaching is political but not all teaching is the same. Some of it's about technique or logic which is difficult to politicise. I mean you might like to find some other result to 7x8 (in base 10) but thinking it's not 56 is probably not going to get you very far. I don't think tautologies are oppressive.
    I think you might have mentioned also what models Friere proposes to replace the banking model and liberate the teachers and the taught from oppression.

    • @justwondering
      @justwondering  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks for the feedback! Our purpose with this video was to shortly explain & explore Freire’s thoughts, together with a critique of his anthropocentrism. This is why we couldn’t go into details of how exactly to replace banking education, however, the book - Pedagogy of the Oppressed is relatively short and easy to read, if you’re curious. We’ve also attached all the bibliography we used for this video.
      Now, if I remember correctly, in chapter 3 he explains one of his methods, which starts with a canvassing of the community which is to be engaged with, and in that canvassing both the problems/interests of the community are accounted for, and the language/words they use for them. This, for Freire, has the purpose of having education come from the people, from what is important to them. This also answers to your first question I think - about how some teaching is not political because math works the same everywhere. That’s not the point, here, my personal interpretation would be - why is math, or biology, or art history, considered necessary knowledge for all peoples? Who gets to decide what should everyone know, and why? Freire’s point, I think, is that people should have the right to explore themselves what they want to know.

    Im trying to learn more about critical theory, but I feel this is all real over generalized, and very unclear.
    Not everything that's vague and too unclear to scrutinize is deep.

    • @justwondering
      @justwondering  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      John, do you mean our video in particular or critical theory in general? Our video is meant to explore Freire’s thought shortly, and look at its roots in humanism. We also have attached a bibliography if you wish to explore further - and in the link to our website you can also find in the text what citation is from where exactly. www.justwondering.io/critical-pedagogy-beyond-humanism/

      Critical Theory is not a theory.
      It is continuous criticism.
      It is nearly nihilism.

    Honestly, I don't think you can equivocate dialogue between humans of different cultures + different levels of oppression, and dialogue between humans and animals/other entities. There's stuff all humans have in common with eachother that we don't have in common with other living beings, which influences how the dialogue takes place, and you can't wipe those things away just because you already have an anti-humanist conclusion. Very reductive in my opinion.
    Besides, most of western pedagogy hasn't even had a shift in paradigm from banking to human dialogue. You can't honestly expect to be able to put into practice a theory which equates dialogue within our own species with dialogue between us and the beings around us which are not humans, and gain any concrete results at the present moment. The jump is just too far, it seems lofty and purely theoretical musings for the sake of theory.
