“Inventing our authority?” Reflections on the “challenge” posed by Michel Serres.

In 2010, when Michel Serres was asked about authority, he said that it was indeed in crisis, and he was convinced that, from now on, those who want to exercise authority must invent it.

It is this “challenge” to educators and educational thinkers alike that we seek to address in this article. We begin by analyzing Michel Serres’s diagnosis of a crisis of authority, which we prefer to the thesis of institutional erosion and a double crisis: a crisis of the meaning of authority, and a crisis of confidence in educators' ability to edify. Secondly, we attempt to take up Michel Serres' challenge, by problematizing the relationship of authority and formulating five proposals to encourage the invention of a singular authority, specific to each educator. En 2010, cuando le preguntaron a Michel Serres sobre la autoridad, dijo que efectivamente estaba en crisis, y se mostró convencido de que a partir de ahora quienes quieran ejercer la autoridad deberán inventarla. Es este “desafío”, lanzado tanto a los educadores como a los pensadores de la educación, el que intentamos abordar en este artículo. Comenzamos analizando el diagnóstico de Michel Serres sobre una crisis de autoridad, que preferimos a la tesis de la erosión institucional y de una doble crisis: una crisis del sentido de la autoridad y una crisis de confianza en la capacidad de construir de los educadores. En segundo lugar, intentamos asumir el reto de Michel Serres, problematizando la relación de autoridad y formulando cinco propuestas para favorecer la invención de una autoridad singular, propia de cada educador. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/iice/article/view/16579 10.34096/iice.n57.16579 spa Subsecretaría de publicaciones.
