Paideutika

What does Paideutika mean?
It is literally the plural of the verbal adjective derived from the Greek paideuo (to instruct, to educate, to form), from which derives paideia (education, culture, formation, knowledge). Therefore Paideutika nominates everything that has to do with the formation of human being.
So Paideutika intends to develop a rigorous criticism of the practices of educational subjection, starting actually from the relationship formation/culture. Making that so in the sign of a phenomenological tradition which, with highlighted existential attention, can only plunge into the infinite forms of the life of culture – from philosophy to human sciences, from art to literature, from social and political sciences to those of education – to claim, nowadays, the urgency of a radical thought. A thought able to react, with deconstructive method, to the comfortable and polished freedom that always lurks in the rhetorical and edifying formulas of the current pedagogism.

The biannual Journal Paideutika. Notebooks on education and culture was founded by Antonio Erbetta in 2005 and since then it has regularly published two issues a year. It promotes pedagogical culture in the context of the connections between education and culture, in the name of the phenomenological-existential and critical-deconstructive tradition.

Paideutika welcomes any studies and researches that, with scientific accuracy, deal with the connection between education and culture in its different forms, so as to claim, nowadays, the urgency of the cultural work as a radical commitment to understand our times.

Paideutika welcomes any contributions that come from the theoretical-pedagogical, historical-pedagogical, methodological-educational field and related disciplines that propose themes and studies of educational interest.

Paideutika organizes its own promoting activity and scientific dissemination by publishing monographic/non monographic issues.

Paideutika uses the double-blind peer review process.

The evaluation criteria include: interest and consistency with the aims of the Journal, originality, scientific accuracy, development, coherence and clearness of arguments, presence of critical literature on the subject.

Paideutika ensures congruous times and confidentiality to the double-blind peer-review process. The list of Reviewers is constantly updated and made public.

Paideutika does not submit to the peer-review process only the Editorial, the Sections “Today, a philosopher” and “Archive of memory”, the Reviews.

N. 35 – Pedagogical transformations in contemporary world. Perspectives of Philosophy of Education in Italy
Editors: Elena Madrussan, Mino Conte
Publication: beginning of May, 2022
Submissions deadline: December 10th, 2021
Journal approval: within January 10th, 2022
First peer review’s outcome: within February 20th, 2022

Starting from many strengthened legacies or from the latest interpretations, however capable of connecting national and international perspectives, the Philosophies of Education in Italy describe a cultural scenario which is heterogeneous as for its approaches and horizons. Nowadays, this interpretive wealth is required to identify the real or presumed transformations, to be put into action or to hold out against, that characterize contemporary time.
“Paideutika” dedicates this issue to the Italian philosophical-educative panorama and to the priorities that the different approaches recognize as needful in a planning perspective, thus trying to create a minimum inquiry map for the upcoming times.
For this reason, this issue will collect some short contributions (max 25,000 characters), only in English, to promote an international visibility, that can suggest a research horizon.

Desde hace algunos años, la nueva pornografía se ha convertido en uno de los temas centrales del debate sobre la socialización de los adolescentes y jóvenes, al menos en lo que se refiere a las relaciones interpersonales. Se sabe que el nivel de consumo no ha dejado de crecer, desde la generalización de las tecnologías 4G; también se conocen buena  parte de las consecuencias de dicho consumo, en especial cuando supera determinados límites. Finalmente, cada vez se conoce mejor el negocio capitalista que promueve la pornografía, en conexión con el sistema prostitucional. Lo que se conoce menos son los mecanismos que explican los altos niveles de consumo, así como la aceptación de prácticas claramente no normativas (violencia contra las mujeres, invitación al incesto, cosificación de las mujeres, etc.). La investigación sobre los procesos de desconexión empática ha permitido indentificar uno de los procesos dominantes, así como las diversas variedades de relación con el consumo.
Esta investigación se plantea en el marco de las reflexiones desarrolladas, sobre la pornografía, en el pensamiento feminista y en el desarrollo de políticas de intervención. En este último marco, se sitúan los debates sobre la actuación educativa, para la cual representa un nuevo reto.

The languages, the modes and the words through which education is told, written and said, derive and make – at the same time – as many places of education. However, to start the investigation from them means to reverse the perspective from which education is usually seen, told, studied. Because this implies assuming the texts and the situations passed through education, instead of starting from the places in which education is the main topic.
Therefore, the idea of this focus is to relate the pedagogical discourse to those forms of educative knowledge that don’t name education in a conventional sense, but which use a discursivity and an expressivity not already fully ruled in the pedagogical fields. Therefore, it’s about to bring into focus the tools, the modes, the expressive practices that – with typical words and languages – tell education as a landing place – maybe implicit but powerful – up to pointing out some meanings that are usually unforeseen.
In these cases, in fact, the words related to education preserve the complex dynamics of its meaning, highlight its problematicity and its urgency, warning those who use them in order to avoid unappropriated reductionism, or naïve and misleading positions. The result aims at finding a way of saying the educative act that, de facto, makes unused questions to the pedagogical field.
The places created by these words become, thus, as many places of reflection on the ways education can be read or lived, witnessed or brought into play, lost or recovered, threaten or enhanced.
So that, losing sight of what education is beyond the more obvious pedagogical background, may signify also to lose sight of behaviours, ethical outlooks, worldviews, that – at a closer look – reveal themselves as precious horizons of inquire.
