Literacy and Emancipation: On the Work and Thought of Myriam Nemirovsky (Alfabetizar y emancipar: sobre el trabajo y el pensamiento de Myriam Nemirovsky)
Nemirovsky, Ricardo; Menendez-Alvarez-Hevia, David
Journal for the Study of Education and Development, v46 n2 p227-263 2023
This article reviews contributions to teaching reading and writing of Myriam Nemirovsky, whose conceptualization foreshadowed an emancipatory pedagogy. To do so, we have reviewed her work and interviewed three of her colleagues: Elena Laiz Sasiain, Liliana Tolchinsky Brenman and Francesco Tonucci. In the first part we recount key moments in Nemirovsky's life and set forth ideas that helped her to develop her approaches to teaching reading and writing. The text explores the development of her pedagogical thinking based on her teaching and research experiences. Later, we present parallels between Myriam Nemirovsky's work and ideas of Jaques Rancière and Joseph Jacotot to highlight core elements in an emancipatory pedagogy and illustrate their presence in Myriam Nemirovsky's practices and thinking. To conclude, we reflect on how Nemirovsky's teachings helped to mobilize innovative ideas among educators. Her legacy includes a conception in which learning how to read and write is a contextualized process already underway, always unfinished, in constant transformation and largely unpredictable. It is a vision which no longer prioritizes the measurable, neutral and standardizable. [Translation from Spanish by Mary Black.]
