Abstract

Our main aim is to focus on the considerations of the fundamental role of the difference as essential condition of the educational process, while taking into examination some considerations regarding the activities of Pier Paolo Pasolini as an educator. Pasolini, as you all may know, has taught during the Second World War in Versuta, later from 1947 to 1949 in Valvasone at the local middle-school and then from 1950 to 1954 in Ciampino at the “Francesco Petrarca” middle-school. In the pedagogic prospective of Pasolini the image of upbringing seen as a “passion” arises above everything , meaning a type of education inspired by the passion for life and the valorization of singularity of each human being, an inclination that people can explicate through writing, free statement, the freedom of existential choices and everything that can lead to the “pathos” and the sense of existence against the unconditional adhesion to the process of moral and cultural homogenization of the consumer society. On one hand the “pedagogy of passion” seems a political-denouncing- project impossible to realize, on the other hand it appears as a necessary incentive to lean on to, in order to break the ill-fated mechanisms of the technological-capitalistic world, so that the human being can find his way back to himself, to preserve the humanity and the value of knowledge. The act of denouncing undertaken by Pasolini represents a “pedagogy of refusal” of that process of the fruitless technical education realized by the late modern period.
