Thus, this research aims at restoring the dignity of experience among school knowledge and practices.

Infância, arte de governo pedagógica e cuidado de si

This assay recoups the original direction of infantia to question the modern ambitions of its full government by means of the pedagogical art, in modernity, and to analyze its potential of resistance, in the present time, arguing the possibilities of this if to reconvert into praxis that the care of itself requires and of that assumed being as a debt on the part of the educators. For this, we will appeal to the Foucault concepts of governmentalization and of care of itself and to the Lyotard notion of debt it stops with infancy. Of this theoretician-conceptual perspective, we wait to offer some tracks so that, as educators, let us think the care with this another one, in the pedagogical art, from critical the philosophical one to the abuses of the power and the socratics recommendation on the on the care of itself.

Entre la formación escolar y la educación a lo largo de la vida: los modos de cuidado ético y del pensar la diferencia en la experiencia educativa

Este ensayo procura analizar el tema de la educación a lo largo de la vida en su intersección con la escuela. En oposición a las perspectivas teóricas que defienden una posible conciliación entre vida y escuela, evidenciamos la tensión existente entre esas dos esferas, al hacer el análisis de los temas de la experiencia con el nacimiento, con la muerte y con la diferencia, y señalamos que su reflexión invita a los sujetos de la praxis educativa a una actitud ética de cuidado para con el otro, para con uno mismo y para que el otro cuide del cuidado de uno, que, de modo complementario a los saberes y prácticas escolares, posibilita una formación continuada que implica la transformación de sí mismo. Eso porque, teniendo como referencia el pensamiento de Arendt y Foucault, comprendemos que la vida transborda a los saberes y prácticas escolares, ofreciéndonos lo que pensar en la praxis educativa y haciendo que los sujetos de esa praxis aprendan a ubicarse entre la vida y la escuela, a la búsqueda de nuevos sentidos para ellos y de resistencia a lo que existe mientras se transforman a sí mismos. Así, buscamos ofrecer a los educadores algunos problemas de la vida que interfieren en la praxis educativa, que repercuten en su experiencia y que hacen pensar sobre aquello que les queda.
