Looking for Meridian Thought in School Policy in Italy

Abstract
The future of schooling is becoming a contested terrain with diverse and sometimes competin alternatives. By drawing on Cassano’s Meridian Thought, this article will focus on the current and the imagined future scenarios of school policy, by analysing some key documents (the Recovery Plan) and books on educational policies in Italy. The investigation illustrates how the future of schools in Italy is firmly thought in the coordinates of calculative reason and of a neo-liberal agenda. Little space is left for the creative and independent engagement of the schools and for a diverse representation of the schools of the South that are thought as permanently failing and in deficit.

Keywords: Meridian thought; Acceleration; Network; School of the South
