Abstract

This paper aims at reflecting upon Michel de Certeau’s relationship with education. Even though the issue is marginal to his other fields of interest, such as history, religion and culture, the challenges he presents are inspiring for educators at varying levels and from different fields of knowledge. Certeau’s thought moving power is the movement towards other ones, fostered by ethical and epistemological demands; a movement which opens itself to the possibility that each encounter may reveal something new. The movement is born from the refusal of literal meanings or existing hierarchies, without falling into irresponsible relativism which denies his own memory. With Certeau we learn to see schools or universities as places of crossing paths, bricolage and operations which escape from established references.
