Conjectural Pedagogies, Criticism and Thought at The University: An Encounter With Horacio González

Abstract

When Horacio González speaks or writes, he opens generous fissures in the places in which he ventures and his more than half a century giving classes bear witness to this. The pluriverse of questions and references that it addresses becomes an inexhaustible fresh water well that not even the most painful and insulting argumentative droughts manage to consume or embitter. Well, Horacio does not stop persisting in a certain undisciplined reflection that annoys both moralists and disciplined operators and discipline workers on duty. Hence, this meeting is presented as an invitation, rooted in the debates on the university and its contexts, where the meanings we attribute to critical, and perhaps clinical, discourse in these times are explored, and the ways in which those pedagogies called conjectural allow us to interrogate contemporary problems. All this with a controversial book on Borges as a backdrop that allows us not to forget his place (or ours) among the barbarian peoples.
