Abstract

Centuries after the Conquest of our America, we continue to be questioned ethically and geopolitically by its scope and meaning; and the voracity of its logic can be extended to the most sensitive dimensions of education. The pedagogical link refers to certain nuclei of meaning -the dominator-dominated relationship, the resistance- and to a set of metaphors that allude to symbolisms such as “food”, “nutrition” and “natality”. The devastating temporality of the conquering Kronos faces the multiplicity of the vital and the event of the “radical novelty”.
