Dossier 21: “A Delicate Absurdity: Teaching, Humor, Creation, and Complex Thought in Rodari and Morin” pays tribute to these remarkable twentieth-century thinkers. Gianni Rodari, writer, educator, and creator of The Grammar of Fantasy, became known for proposing educational practices grounded in imagination, humor, and creativity as ways of constructing knowledge. Edgar Morin, French philosopher and sociologist, developed the Theory of Complexity, proposing a mode of thinking capable of articulating different forms of knowledge, overcoming fragmentation, and understanding knowledge in an integrated way. The ideas of both authors continue to contribute to contemporary research in different fields of knowledge.

Above all, considering the academic background of the organizers and the scope of the Journal of Teaching in Arts, Fashion and Design, this dossier seeks to understand, through the various texts presented here, how the contributions of Gianni Rodari and Edgar Morin intersect within the fields of arts and fashion education, both in basic education and higher education.
