Viaje a la Vorágine: Explorando la selva colombiana durante la fiebre del caucho. Una herramienta pedagógica

Abstract

This work focuses on the articulation between literature and the teaching of Social Sciences in relation to the work La Vorágine, through which the aim is to learn about the landscape of the eastern plains and the Colombian jungle during the rubber fever phenomenon. In addition, as a result of this articulation, a pedagogical proposal for the construction of social thinking was developed. Thus, the development of the work begins with the identification of the spatial-temporal characteristics described in the novel, then the landscape is analyzed under the idea that it is a cultural construction, followed by an understanding of the facts described in historical, cultural and social terms. Finally, a pedagogical proposal will be elaborated to articulate the previous steps towards the construction of social thinking. Thus, the research route is that of interpretation based on the analytical-synthetic method, in order to break down the historical and geographical information given in La Vorágine and compare it with other documentary sources, which will allow an analysis of the phenomenon of the rubber fever articulated with the meanings originated from the reading.
