• Abstract:

  This paper analyzes Latin American poetics as a training proposal. It starts from a look at the problem of study based on the Mexican educational context, specifically on the intrusion of the area of literature in the plans and programs of study until before 2018, before it is enunciated the ornamental and utilitarian notion of literature, caused by the neoliberal hegemony in Mexico that leaves it out of the formative processes of human beings. 
  With this, the cultural importance of literature in the formative field is glimpsed. The essence of Latin American poetics is highlighted, then, in terms of its importance and study from the western poetic reason exposed by María Zambrano, the poetics as image of the original shown by Gastón Bachelard. This is linked to the category of formation suggested by Hegel and interpreted by Hans Georg Gadamer.    
  On the other hand, the integral poetics of pre-Hispanic cultures, specifically the Náhuatl philosophy, admitted by José León Portilla, where the integral biocosmic union of the Being prevails. With this, the aim is to propose poetry as a formative process capable of achieving an identity dimension of man, in this case, of the American man. From this, poetry is suggested from its orality to its writing as a formative cultural heritage. Thus, we propose a dignifying look at literature in the educational process of Latin American students.
