LOPEZ-REY, Diego Medina. Postdigital Pedagogy as a Synthesis of Rhizomatic Learning and the Postdigital Era. []. , 36, pp.113-142. ISSN 1390-8626.  https://doi.org/10.17163/soph.n36.2024.03.

This paper is built around two central axes: rhizomatic learning and the post-digital era. Rhizomatic learning bases its principles on the construction of knowledge based on the contributions of students in real time, with the aim of understanding the community as a curriculum. For its part, the post-digital era is understood as the situation in which digital technology is an imposed social necessity. Since education, despite being public, is not free, digitisation increases the socio-economic gap between students with access to digital tools and those who do not. Thus, the possibility of counter-digitisation is proposed: using digital technology as another emancipatory tool. That is, when it is possible, use it competently and equitably; however, when this situation cannot be achieved, we must have a post-digital praxis that understands the world-system with the same or similar possibilities. To this end, rhizomatic learning and post-digital era will be presented as inherent parts for the production of the upcoming pedagogical proposal: the possibility of establishing a post-digital pedagogy. To provide philosophical grounding, a literature review of the two aforementioned axes is presented from the work of Deleuze and Guattari, exposing a distant and rupturist approach to the digitalist positions of current techno-capitalist education.
