Gestures for thinking the meeting with the other in education

Abstract

This article's purpose is to display the minimal traces and gestures produced in the meeting with children, youths, and adult migrants from Venezuela, in school, and Medellin. These intertwined and tensed strokes produced gestures like ways of thinking, of folding and allowing unfolding in the meeting among strangeness, without abandoning the question of hospitality and hostility. From the perspective of post-qualitative research, in correspondence with the gleaning method, deployed the gesture of attentive listening, the singular answer, and the gesture of acceptance, which provides a contribution to education that makes possible the opening to the strange, to the strangeness, to the conclusive reality that we live in a permanent migration state. Therefore, we need to open our thoughts for developing the meetings with different cultures, recognizing and valuing each other and constructing from them, hosting the otherness like constitutive of the subject and the educational relationship.
