ABSTRACT:
Part of the theoretical network created to analyze and discuss the empirical material constructed in a qualitative research conducted in public schools in the urban periphery of a large city in Latin America (SÁNCHEZ, 2020) is presented. This network was woven from the contributions and views, mainly, of Enrique Leff, Félix Guattari, and Marcos Reigota. We propose and detail a set of epistemological characteristics and axiological principles that we call Environmental Weavings, and which would underlie environmental educations thought from the perspective of the contemporaneity of Latin America. The content and political and historical burden present in the concept of Environment are analyzed, and the ethical and aesthetic implications of assuming it in this expanded representation are presented, while deepening on its intercultural and interdisciplinary aspects. Finally, the becomings and some challenges in the field of everyday school life and educational policies implicit in this environmental perspective are discussed.
