An analysis of a few moments on academic issues |
|
|
|
The analysis of numerous articles published at the beginning of the school is a good way to identify, in the monotony of judgments proffered a hundred times and "debates" ever reactivated, one of the preferred forms of media discourse, consisting not report but to settle accounts, it through a moral indignation skillfully distilled. But what it is to settle his account here, through the promotion of an ideology while imbued with pessimism elite, it is the very idea of democratization school. It will not seek here to refute the interpretation of facts that would otherwise be well-founded (there would have much to say on this point), but to describe the principles of production and dissemination of the dominant ideology in school subject.
The hatred of democracy
When, in his daily column on France-Culture and its editorial of Figaro-Magazine (01/09/2007), Alain-Gerard Slama announcement, tremolos in the voice and after many others, that "100 000 quasi-illiterate fall in the 6th "[2], when other players in the field media repeat ad nauseam that" 150 000 children leaving school without qualifications, or when a weekly newspaper known leftist title on the "scandal of illiteracy "The lamento mingles dispute and the pathos to produce an effect of intimidation on intellectual urge without penalty productivity policy.
What strikes in the machinal and repeated use of such "data", beyond the fact that their production is never questioned as such is the nature of the grounds that they are: a pretext for outrage well course (register in which the excellent cabotins waves and weeklies), but mostly a pretext for this "hatred of democracy" to which the philosopher Jacques Rancière [3].
Indeed, if we both gloss on figures who, in their extreme generality, do not say much about the education system and do themselves no interpretation (whatsoever), c ' is that they allow the imposition of a problem as old as the conservative thought, not only that "everything is going to vau-l'eau", but above all that decadence whole drift of a kind of hybris democratic. Because, as we will see, which is loath to our glorious thinkers is less that the school policy has not kept all its promises of democratization [4], but it has given such an end, cleanly senseless for which equates to a culture through which all value is its rarity.
Give meaning to the above figures, interpret them properly, would enter the workings of the education system, a task long and somewhat gratifying for the awards which claims almost instant order media, as we will see, 'Important for these "honest men" (as is awarded to the passage and sub-hand lonely Alain-Gerard Slama [5]) is not to describe and analyze this or that phenomenon, to discover the causes and / or to disentangle the effects, but to be indignant righteousness "defects" and "nonsense" of the system, for better claim - implicitly or explicitly - the "necessary reforms". |
