Abstract
DUSSELL, Inés. Tactilism and Pedagogy. Sensoriality and Creation in Educational History. Pedagogía y Saberes [online]. 2023, n.59, pp.115-128. Epub July 01, 2023. ISSN 0121-2494. https://doi.org/10.17227/pys.num59-19383.
Digital pedagogies prioritize interactivity, exploration, and tactility as forms of knowledge, which are postulated as overcoming the voice, the text, and the sedentary body of the school. This research article aims to problematize this opposition by analyzing the emergence of a pedagogy of tactility and creation in the first half of the twentieth century, focusing on the Bauhaus experience and its echoes and subsequent adaptations in the United States of the post-war. As part of an ongoing research on the history of digital pedagogies, the conceptions of sensoriality and creation deployed by these pedagogies are examined, as well as the cultural hierarchies that they promoted. It is argued that these pedagogies of tactility and creation, particularly in their translations in the United States, were intertwined in the emergence of digital technologies during the Cold War, in which they inscribed particular conceptions of knowledge and sensoriality associated with the industrial-military-cybernetic complex. The article concludes with questions about the links between these historical experiences and current debates on the digitization of education.
