MOURNING PEDAGOGIES. A REFLECTION ON THE INTIMATE EXPERIENCE OF DEATH, ITS IMAGINARIES AND THE RECOVERY OF THE SYMBOLIC FRAMEWORKS OF GRIEF AND LOSS

Text published by A*Desk CRITICAL THINKING

At present, where pain and loss have been expropriated from the social and community space, practices such as those of Ángela Millano, Núria Corominas, Júlia Barbany, Andrea Pellejero, Esmeralda Colette, Sofía A. Martoria, Esther Rodríguez-Barbero and Marta Echaves open symbolic spaces to try out new pedagogies of grief: learning processes and collective emancipation outside the logic of productivity and market efficiency. Scenes and stories that, in the end, present us with the political need to make death a ritual of hospitality for and with the unknown.
