Educare all’inoperosità. Oltre l’antropologia del capitale umano

In a political and cultural season in which we see the more and more extensive achievement of bioeconomy, it seems necessary to pedagogically rethink an anthropological and educational canon that is alternative to the human capital one (Foucault, Sen, Baldacci). If, on the one hand, it is not possible to overlook the biopolitical mark of modern and contemporary economism, on the other hand, but risking appearing unable to ask a pedagogical question to the present, the need to register economical pervasiveness, in the educational field as well, and to detect a way out of the ruling economization of lives and pedagogy itself, urgently emerges. Bioeconomy calls for a pedagogical reflection capable of reactualizing Natorp’s concept of education as common good and of economy as activity class at the service of education, in support of its implementation. Bioeconomy also forces to a recapitalization of pedagogy (Granese) along a path that can humanistically mark the common home. Moving from these premises, the essay will attempt to challenge the ruling economization through the provocation-bet of an education to inoperosity.
