Les enjeux du jeu en éducation radicale (1) L’éducation radicale, par définition, est celle qui va à la racine, c’est-à-dire celle qui se refuse à en rester à un niveau superficiel, en général déterminé par les contraintes à court terme des besoins imaginaires de la société post-moderne. Cette superficialité de la société ne répond jamais vraiment aux questions essentielles de notre modernité : La question de la réalité comme construction mentale de la complexité de ce qui est (le Réel) mais demeure, en fin de compte, inconnaissable. La rupture entre nos savoirs multiples mais fragmentaires sur cette réalité et la connaissance que chacun d’entre nous peut en avoir par expérience personnelle. L’abstraction généralisée de nos savoirs scientifiques, technologiques, philosophiques, qui nous éloigne de notre incarnation, de notre relation à la nature. Écoutez ma brève présentation orale Il s’ensuit des effets dirimants dans notre conception du monde et de notre action sur lui, dans le régime économique dominant sur le plan planétaire.

Paulo Freire Paulo Reglus Neves Freire, Ph.D (/ˈfrɛəri/, Portuguese: [ˈpawlu ˈfɾeiɾi]; September 19, 1921 – May 2, 1997) was a Brazilian educator and philosopher who was a leading advocate of critical pedagogy. He is best known for his influential work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which is considered one of the foundational texts of the critical pedagogy movement.[1][2][3] Biography[edit] Freire was born September 19, 1921 to a middle class family in Recife, Brazil. Freire became familiar with poverty and hunger during the Great Depression of the 1930s. In 1931, the family moved to the less expensive city of Jaboatão dos Guararapes, and in 1933 his father died. In 1946, Freire was appointed Director of the Department of Education and Culture of the Social Service in the state of Pernambuco. In 1964, a military coup put an end to that effort. On the strength of reception of his work, Freire was offered a visiting professorship at Harvard University in 1969. In 1986, his wife Elza died.

Educating is always a vocation rooted in hopefulness. As teachers we believe that learning is possible, that nothing can keep an open mind from seeking after knowledge and finding a way to know. bell hooks (1952- ) (nee Gloria Watkins) was born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

She took her nom de plume from her maternal great-grandmother Bell Blair Hooks.[3] Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Adult life[edit] Her teaching career began in 1976 as an English professor and senior lecturer in Ethnic Studies at the University of Southern California. Ain’t I a Woman? Since the publication of Ain’t I a Woman? She is frequently cited by feminists[7][8][9] as having provided the best solution to the difficulty of defining something as diverse as "feminism", addressing the problem that if feminism can mean everything, it means nothing. She has published more than 30 books, ranging in topics from black men, patriarchy, and masculinity to self-help, engaged pedagogy to personal memoirs, and sexuality (in regards to feminism and politics of aesthetic/visual culture).

Alexander Trocchi It is our contention that, for many years now, a change, which might be usefully regarded as evolutionary, has been taking place in the minds of men; they have been becoming aware of the implications of self-consciousness. And, here and there throughout the world, individuals are more or less purposively concerned with evolving techniques to inspire and sustain self-consciousness in all men [sic]. However imperfect, fragmentary, and inarticulate this new force may presently appear, it is now in the process of becoming conscious of itself in the sense that its individual components are beginning to recognize their involvement and consciously to concern themselves with the technical problems of mutual recognition and, ultimately, of concerted action. History is [the history] of societies geared to and through their every institution affirmative of the past, which tends, whatever its complexion, to perpetuate itself.

Agilab Critical pedagogy Critical pedagogue Ira Shor defines critical pedagogy as: "Habits of thought, reading, writing, and speaking which go beneath surface meaning, first impressions, dominant myths, official pronouncements, traditional clichés, received wisdom, and mere opinions, to understand the deep meaning, root causes, social context, ideology, and personal consequences of any action, event, object, process, organization, experience, text, subject matter, policy, mass media, or discourse." (Empowering Education, 129) Critical pedagogy includes relationships between teaching and learning. Its proponents claim that it is a continuous process of what they call "unlearning", "learning", and "relearning", "reflection", "evaluation", and the impact that these actions have on the students, in particular students whom they believe have been historically and continue to be disenfranchised by what they call "traditional schooling".[citation needed] Background[edit] Joe L.
