The first lecture we've had this year, The Flipped Classroom, was about education from the perspective of the marxist Jacques Ranciére.
I found this lecture very interesting, since I have personal interest in communist theories. How inverting the roles we have been using the last decades (if not right now) are actually in the opposite direction of the learning path of evolution. Is very interesting to see how all this started in France during the 60's to use this time as a reference if one day I need to look this up.
I also found very informative how the visual communication is a way of fighting against the world and how it was noticeable in that time. The problem is when a revolution is comercialised, like Che Guevara's face. Is at that point when we can say the revolution has failed. It also reminded me of movements like the punk or hip-hop, where their initial values seem to be dead and belonging to other times.
The School of the Damned is something I never imagined it could exist. It's important to have individuals in our society that constantly dare the current educational system by breaking the rules of teachers and students in order to thrive to a more intellect-sharing society rather than the one we are leaving in, based on hierarchies, control, indoctrination, selfishness and judgmentalism.
