Pupil participation in school life: an approach from the educational community

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC, 1989) is currently the most ratified international treaty. Several authors have highlighted its potential for both a moral education and citizenship. However, paradoxically, different studies report its limited or occasional incorporation into school practices. This article explores experiences of participation in schools,the third P of the CRC, from the plurality of voices and actors of the educational community,by means of 14 discussion groups in 11 autonomous communities in Spain. Discourse analysis evidence low levels of student participation in school life. But, at the same time, a favorable educational environment for the development of projects that contribute to child participation is found, as well as for the incorporation of the CRC as a mover and a referential integrator of the different schools projects. However, it is also an educational background conductive to projects for its development, such as the incorporation of the CRC as a referential integrator of the schools projects.

Entre la "flânerie" y el ostracismo: la resignificación subjetiva de la ciudad en Fabián Casas y Martín Gambarotta

Desde los estudios pioneros de Walter Benjamín dedicados a la imagen del flâneur en la poesía de Baudelaire, la experiencia del sujeto poético y su íntima reconstrucción afectiva de la ciudad constituyen un índice significativo para aproximarnos a la experiencia de la vida moderna. En este artículo, nos interesa revisar cuáles son las particularidades que distinguen esta experiencia en un corpus de poesía argentina reciente -los libros Punctum y Refrito, de Martín Gambarotta, y Horla City y otros, de Fabián Casas-, que durante las décadas de 1990 y 2000 tematiza, con insistencia y mediante opciones diversas, la relación sujeto-ciudad. En dichos textos, es posible releer una continuidad -relativamente canónicadel paseante por los márgenes periféricos de la modernidad -en el caso de Casas- y la reclusión voluntaria, como repliegue extremo ante la vivencia del deambular callejero, que se percibe como intimidante en Gambarotta.
