Abstract

The thoughtful exercise that is shown in this document displays the results from theoretical concerns about the relationship between education and community, and especially, the place that the last one occupies in Community Processes, where the word plays an important role in the construction of alternative dialoguing proposals, along unlikeness and democracy companions. The reflection is focused on looking at pedagogy in the community context, as of caring the word act, which passes through the commitment of knowing how to be an experience of itself, where being a friend of the word act brings up subjectivities devoted with edifying communities, taking into account the singularity of the events of the human living conditions, ethical and political responsibilities in the face of life.


It is a word act, taken from sincerity, and looked into the pedagogic device among a discussion group, that tests the consistency of what is said, built in the challenge of making the community the stage to expose the plurality of opinions, and also to make it the constitutive force of governability of autonomous knowledge. It is about to make whatever is educative the risk of living the life experience, where pedagogy is the “hinge” of the link between ethics and politics, towards possible worlds.
