Che cos'è dunque questa magia dell'aula? La retorica della presenza nelle scuole italiane ai tempi della pandemia

Abstract

What is then this teacher’s magic? The rhetoric of the presence in Italian schools in times of pandemic ----- Abstract --- Starting from ethnographic research and anthropological reflexivity, this paper proposes a critical reading of the rhetoric of presence in the classroom as constitutively good - rhetoric that is nostalgically spreading to challenge remote teaching, so-called ‘didattica a distanza’. Remote teaching is discussed as an important opportunity to rethink the role of bodies, the setting and responsibility in the educational relationship.
