VARGAS GUILLEN, Germán  and  GIL CONGOTE, Lina Marcela. Excellence, Surplus and Individuation-The Question of Education as a Display of Technicity. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2015, n.68, pp.65-90. ISSN 0120-3916.

This article intertwines the philosophy of education and the psychology of individuation. The thesis is: the excellence in education is an effect of the process of individuation -which includes transindividuation as technicity- worked in the relation (between, admist) in which are displayed intuito personae imagination as much as invention. Section I presents a discussion -canonical if you want- of the assumptions of individuation and its effect, the difference, in Gilbert Simondon's proposal. This section is divided into three steps: 1. A description of the individuation process from the transduction to point out the place of difference in the individualenvironment mutual relationship; 2. The emergence of psychic individuation -which is at the same time collective and transindividual- is shown. This leads the reader to: 3. The technical relation as a psychosocial link that paves the way for a formative process aimed at the display of capabilities, particularly, to the possibility of capturing in its genesis, technicity, which is indeed transindividual. In Section II, entwined, the relations between individuation and difference in a political-pedagogic project are shown. This section consists of three steps: 1. A characterization of difference as an effect of individuation; 2. A study of individuation as a political-pedagogic project; and 3. An analysis of individuation as both excellence and surplus in the education process. As a coda, we focus our attention, in the form of a synthesis, in the notions of capacity, technicity, imagination, and invention as aspects of the homo capax that becomes homo narrans in and because of technicity. The latest one is indeed Simondon's political-pedagogic project.

Keywords : Education; surplus; excellence; capacity; imagination; invention; technicity.
