Después de los 90: agenda de cuestiones educativas

El artículo propone una agenda de "cuestiones educativas" orientada a la reconstitución del lazo entre educación y democracia después de las reformas implementadas en los años 90. Construye previamente un estado de situación caracterizado por la presencia de tres procesos: a. un proceso de des-institucionalización escolar que se expresa tanto en la dificultad de la escuela para sostener un marco normativo sancionado socialmente, como en la crisis de identidad por la que atraviesan las instituciones; b. un proceso de fragmentación del sistema educativo que se diferencia de la tradicional segmentación de los sistemas; c. el agotamiento del instrumental teórico-conceptual con el que tradicionalmente nos hemos propuesto organizar y dar sentido a los fenómenos de la realidad. En este marco el artículo propone: 1. discutir los limites de la modernidad educativa en países periféricos como el nuestro y, en este marco, los de la pedagogía moderna para superar las problemáticas de discriminación y exclusión educativa; 2. rediscutir el concepto de ciudadanía y el papel de la escuela en la formación ciudadana; 3. repensar y discutir el papel del conocimiento y la investigación en la modificación de las practicas políticas y pedagógicas.

O renovado conservadorismo da agenda pós-moderna

O artigo tem como objetivo discutir aspectos da agenda pós-moderna e a permanência de sua vitalidade nos dias de hoje. Seu ponto de partida são as idéias desenvolvidas pela autora em artigos anteriores, nos quais privilegia a crítica às principais propostas das tendências "pós": o relativismo epistemológico, a suspeita em relação ao conhecimento objetivo e ao caráter estruturado das coisas e do mundo. Na primeira parte, retomam-se os textos de 1996 e 1998, que apresentam, ainda que rapidamente, as origens da "agenda pós" e indicam alguns de seus desdobramentos, notadamente a virada lingüística e a supressão das fronteiras entre História e Literatura; na segunda, recuperam-se as idéias expostas nos textos de 1998 e 2003, com vistas a mostrar algumas características do pensamento neopragmático de Richard Rorty. Finalmente, assinalam-se as principais repercussões desta ampla agenda na pesquisa e em práticas educacionais.
