Per una “linea femminile” nei servizi educativi a sostegno della famiglia e della genitorialità: il contributo di bell hooks al rapporto tra intersezionalità e presidio del setting pedagogico

Abstract

In this paper, we analyse the possible contribution of bell hooks’s “engaged Pedagogy” to the educational services geared towards family and parenting support. On the one hand, we discuss bell hooks’s interpretation of families and education through an intersectional perspective, outlining a possible “Pedagogy of resistance” as a point of view of interpretation and intervention with regard to educational services supporting families and parenting. On the other hand, we apply different materialistic, neo-structuralist and complexity theories in discussing the dynamic and problematic character of contemporary families. In doing so, the Home Education service is analyzed as a connecting service (between families, school and social fabric) oriented towards recovery, prevention, and education.
