Abstract

VALENZUELA ECHEVERRI, Carlos Eduardo. Derrida, Heritage and Education. Pedagogía y Saberes [online]. 2017, n.46, pp.77-83. ISSN 0121-2494.

This paper derived from an ongoing PhD research project, takes from Derrida's philosophic legacy an important concept for thinking education: heritage. A concept whose relation to education deserves to be made explicit, in times in which the foundational power-we would say with Sloterdijk (2015)-increasingly loses importance due to its noticeable interest for permanent innovation and novelty. Therefore, this article introduces, in broad terms, two topics: firstly, an overview as to Derridean thought and its poststructuralist trail; secondly, an interpretation of the notion of heritage, which I refer to in order to contend the "starting with a clean slate" slogan that has been installed in the core of school, due to the obsession of many who pretend, per se, to transform it, even in spite of its own statute.

Keywords : Legacy; teacher; school; tradition; philosophy; pedagogics.
