| description | In an “alternation school-job” project carried on in a high school in Sardinia
(Italy), a group of students has collected life histories about IIWW memories, learning
some skills of ethnographic methodology through fieldwork. A part of the teachers
believed that field research is not a “real job”. Starting from Gramsci's reflections
about relations between intellectual and manual work, we will take into account the
different conceptions of time, space, and work operating in the neoliberal school, in
the common sense of teachers and executives, and in the ministerial “gray literature”.
In the project, operate two different conceptions of “learning by doing”. The first is
based on a functionalist approach that uses practical jobs to acquire skills connected
to neoliberal division of labor; In the second, the fieldwork can produce a critical
point of view about concept of work. The article shows how the informal strategies of
ethnographic research can produce an oppositional practice that re-negotiate the
ideological assumptions of functionalist and neoliberal approach carried on by the
educational State's policies. |
