Abstract

This research aims at establishing the relations between myth, rite and education within the crisis-context of the contemporary world.

Within this frame, and on the field of a pedagogic anthropology, this research sets forth worries concerning those relations, as well as the search for possible ways out of the identified problems. Facing this, it suggests meeting points between theory and practice, education and politics, creative act and different teaching dimensions. Once this nodal point have been established, a reflective contribution to education is made, seeking to point out the intrinsic dynamics established on epistemological, political, ethical, esthetic and ecological fields.
