Academic Literacy and Philosophy

Reflections from the preparation of an activity plan

Abstract

This text seeks to articulate a series of edges arising from a teaching practice around philosophical knowledge academically diagrammed. Specifically, it constitutes a reflection on academic literacy in Philosophy courses at the university level and, more specifically, in relation to a fundamental concern: how to teach to understand/produce an academic text in such an institutional framework? In order to determine some clues that help reflect on what opens such a question, this paper seeks to expose some aspects arising from my experience as a university teacher and address the understanding/production of academic texts from a philosophical perspective. Specifically, it is about a teaching exercise developed during the 2019-2021 period in the curricular space "Understanding and Production of Academic Texts", corresponding to the first year of the Degree in Philosophy and the University Professorship in Philosophy, both careers of the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo.
