La ricerca come posizionamento: pedagogia critica e autoetnografia, materialismo filosofico e inchiesta pedagogica

The contribution investigates the theoretical and epistemological foundations of materialism in pedagogy as a critical perspective capable of overcoming both idealism and empiricism, restoring to educational inquiry its historical, relational, and conflictual character. Far from being a mere descriptive or technical application, pedagogical investigation is understood as a practice of unveiling the ideological devices that structure educational experience and determine its forms of subjectivation. Within this framework, autoethnographic research acquires the value of co-research, in which subjectivity and method coincide in the reflective, political, and transformative act of making visible the material and symbolic conditions of educational action and experience.
