Intersecting Views on the Teaching of Law: An Approach to the Classroom Space as a Space of Subjectivation

Abstract

In this article we propose a put in balance of the debate that took place on the occasion of the 19th issue of Revista Discusiones, in the dossier dedicated to the teaching of law. According to our reading, and beyond the affinities with many of the conclusions of its participants, we find that a problem persists with the perspectives that do not involve all the actors in their diagnosis, as well as their various reciprocal relationships, at stake. If we only look at the problem from the point of view of global agencies, we tend to quickly appeal to a solution from the subject’s side; and equally, if we pay too much attention to the subjects we tend to perceive them in a certain sense as alien to the social relations that they constitute as such. We need comprehension frames that contain the double dimension, as well as the various modes of articulation, mismatch and tension between them.
