MULTIVOCAL GLOSSARY

A Multivocal Glossary of Arts Education/un glosario multivocal de educación artística

An initiative in the Another Roadmap School is to continuously work on a multivocal glossary of Arts Education. Connected to the research projects and activities, research groups select terms especially relevant for analysis in relation to arts education in each context and write a glossary entry on them. These entries are discussed in videoconferences with other working groups, exploring the term or a related one in their context. Generating the glossary proposes a horizontal exchange between knowledges, that avoids enforcing the traditional privilege of european/western concepts, instead aiming at a dialogue between interlocutors situated in different locations in the global economy of knowledge. As a public resource, the resulting glossary which juxtaposes meanings and genealogies of related terms from different locations, allows shifting one’s perspectives on those understandings of arts education that have become self-evident and natural, and lays a groundwork for a better informed and more context-aware international dialogue. coordination, compilation by Alejandro Cevallos. translation, School of Linguistics PUCE, coord.
