| Sumario: | 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. |
