| Resumo: | The problem of education in the accelerated society and the expropriation of attention. The classical conception of Bildung was modelled on cultural activities, especially reading, which presupposed a high degree of concentration, silence and solitude; they were expected to produce a reflective, autonomous and formed subjectivity that was ideally the subject of classical Modernity. The technological changes and social habits that have taken place in the last decades, simultaneously to the contemporary neoliberal order have eroded this type of cultural activities, particularly reading, introducing an accelerated way of life that is dominated by immediacy and that, according to some contemporary theorists (Harmut Rosa, Jonathan Crary, Byung Chul Han) can be considered as a form of alienation. Above all, the loss of capacity for attention and concentration, linked to the use of new technologies, represents a challenge for classical Bildung and requires a reformulation of it. |
