Abstract
[spa] El cuidado de sí es cuidado de lo más humano de cada uno de nosotros. La convicción nuclear que lo rige es siempre la misma: que lo humano puede intensificarse y crecer. Y que el peligro reside siempre en la degeneración. Intensificar lo humano es ir hacia lo “más humano”. En absoluto se busca la “superación” o el “más allá” de lo humano. Este artículo es un intento de relacionar la lectura que hace Foucault del tema del cuidado de sí con la urgente necesidad de repensar hoy el lugar de lo educativo como lugar propio para ese cuidado. Para tal fin, se propone el concepto de altertopía educativa, como lugar, no solo de resistencia al dominio de la banalidad contextual, sino de gestación de la fuerza revolucionaria.
[eng] Caring for oneself is caring for what is most human in each one of us. The nuclear idea is always the same: that what is essentially human can intensify and grow. And that always the danger resides in degeneration. To intensify the human is to favor what is the “more human”. This is not “overcoming” or “going beyond” the human. This paper attempts to relate Foucault’s reading of the topic of self-care with the urgent need to rethink the place of education as a proper place for that care today. To this end, the concept of educational altertopia is proposed, as a place not only of resistance to the domination of contextual banality, but of gestation of the revolutionary force.
