Lo stato della crisalide. Per una lettura transazionale della formazione degli educatori
No full textThe Deweyan category of the transaction – allowing to overcome the opposition between objectivism and subjectivism in the educational studies – provides effective regulatory criteria in order to design and manage the academic training of educators, who go through a transitional state that assumes the characteristics of transformation. In this perspective, the present contribution illustrates the epistemological and methodological coordinates that characterize the training of educators within one of the training-research activities promoted by the University of Naples Suor Orsola Benincasa.Riassunto: La categoria deweyana di transazione, permettendo di superare l’opposizione tra oggettivismo e soggettivismo in pedagogia, fornisce efficaci criteri regolativi per la progettazione e la gestione dei percorsi universitari di formazione degli educatori, i quali si trovano ad attraversare uno stato di transizione che assume i caratteri propri della trasformazione. In linea con tale prospettiva, in questo contributo fermeremo la riflessione su alcune coordinate epistemologiche e metodologiche che orientano la formazione degli educatori in una delle attività di ricerca-formazione promosse dall’Università degli Studi di Napoli Suor Orsola Benincasa

Get PDFPer non concludere: questioni di filosofia dell’educazione tra manualistica italiana contemporanea e formazione degli insegnanti
No full textPhilosophy of education presents numerous open issues, which need to be investigated and reflected upon; this essay attempts to outline some of the issues that make up the contemporary debate, in the light of the elements and authors presented in the previous essays of this ‘symposium’. The relationship between philosophy and education, thought and practice, pedagogical field and political sphere are the common themes in the text. Attention on care, educational relationships, emotions, complexity and on the complex relationship between school and society are some of the perspectives from which we, in the essay, look at the central problem of education: the formation and personal fulfillment of each individual.Riassunto: La filosofia dell’educazione presenta numerose tematiche aperte, che necessitano di indagini e riflessioni; il tentativo di questo saggio è quello di accennare ad alcune questioni che, insieme ad altre, costituiscono il dibattito contemporaneo, alla luce degli elementi e degli autori presentati nei saggi precedenti di questo ‘simposio’. Le relazioni tra filosofia ed educazione, pensiero e prassi, ambito pedagogico e ambito politico sono i temi che fungono da nesso nel testo, dove l’attenzione alla cura, alle relazioni educative, alle emozioni, alla complessità e all’intreccio tra scuola e società costituiscono le prospettive da cui si è scelto di guardare il problema centrale dell’educazione: la formazione e la realizzazione di ogni individuo
La formazione umana come progetto: attualità del pensiero pedagogico di J.-J. Rousseau
No full textThe paper works on the premise of the awareness of the role that Rousseau’s thought played in the past and is still playing in the pedagogical tradition, with the intention to show the relevance of some of his ideas in view of developing an integral human education. Specifically, natural education, considered as a pedagogical paradigm, offers a possible theoretical framework to experiment educational strategies aimed at promoting the potential of every human being.Riassunto: Il saggio prende le mosse dalla consapevolezza del ruolo significativo che il pensiero rousseauiano ha avuto e continua ad avere nella tradizione pedagogica e si propone di mostrare la fecondità e l’attualitàdi alcune sue idee in vista di una formazione integrale dell’uomo. Nello specifico, l’educazione naturale, intesa come paradigma pedagogico, offre un possibile orizzonte teorico all’interno del quale sperimentare strategie educative che possono promuovere le potenzialità di ogni essere umano.

Disability and Happiness
No full textScientific literature has often struggled to believe that aperson with disability can be happy. When the empirical evidenceseemed to support this possibility, the term “disabilityparadox” was invented to explain this improbable condition.The article traces the development of this thought in scientificliterature trying to underline its inconsistencies and highlightinghow often common sense more than scientific rigorseems to guide research work in this field of analysis. Nothingprevents a person with a disability from being happy bothform the hedonic and eudaimonic perspectives. However, atthe same time, nothing assures that this happens with the restof humanity. Following the analysis of Reinders we supportthe idea that a life story provides the hermeneutical contextwithin which agent-relative capabilities and happiness can bediscovered and realized

I nostri morti hanno voce. Dislocamenti sociali, affetti e azioni politiche in prospettiva comparata/Our dead have a voice. Social displacements, affections and political actions in a comparative perspective
No full textGrounded in ethnographic research with activist organisations – familiesof the victims of state violence in Argentina and Brazil – this articleseeks to critically reflect on the relationships between gender, kinship, andthe politics and social practice of memory, together with devices for themanagement of life and social order in specific ethnographic situations.Using a comparative approach, the article argues that relationships establishedbetween these groups enable the construction of shared strategies ofpolitical action and the production of shared meanings in the face of overlappingconfrontations with inequalities and violence. The central problematicquestions how the these activists’ displacements (often transnational)disseminate practices, skills, experiences, and repertoires of politicalmobilisation that compose a field of action directed towards the constructionof memories, the rendering visible of victims, and the denunciation ofprevious regimes of selectively perpetrated violence
Corruzione, politica e imprese appaltatrici/Corruption, politics and contractors
No full textAccusations of corruption have occupied a central spot in the Brazilianpublic life and they have frequently been associated with big constructioncompanies (the contractors). This work analyses how the actions of a contractorwith a federal public budget to secure the viability of its businessarticulate with the routine proceedings of statal bureaucracy and the ordinarypolitical practices associated to the idea of political representation. Inopposition to the moralist and essentialist interpretations, the work emphasizesthe collective dimension of the practices considered as corruption,meaning they become possible through the participation and complicity ofa multiplicity of people situated in different positions in institutions.Arguing that the action of the contractor – as it promotes adaptation,distortion or suspension of rules and official proceedings – participates inthe forming of the State
