La didattica universitaria prevalente, in particolar modo nei dipartimenti di Giurisprudenza, aderisce all’impianto trasmis-sivo. La burocrazia, i calendari e l’architettura degli edifici presuppongono un tale approccio. Perfino la cosiddetta didat-tica innovativa, in particolare quella che adotta le tecnologie più avanzate, serve spesso a rendere più efficiente i «depositi» di conoscenza (secondo la terminologia di Freire), senza met-tere in discussione il modello di potere, così intimamente connesso all'autorità del sapere, come Foucault, Bourdieu, Passeron, e molte altre voci critiche hanno mostrato. «Accademia umile» è una forma di insegnamento che intende sperimentare un modello di educazione coerente con una let-tura critica del ruolo dell’università. A dispetto della pretesa, contenuto già nel nome, di detenere un sapere universale, tota-le e valido per tutti, tale prassi educativa rinuncia all’idea di monopolio e autosufficienza. Insegna quindi ad apprendere sempre, ovunque e da chiunque, in particolare da coloro che sono in una posizione di marginalità. Si ritiene infatti che lo sguardo dalla periferia debba integrare quello panoptico che muove dal centro. Ad esempio, nel caso del diritto: lo sguardo del giudice, del legislatore, del cittadino modello dovrebbero incontrare quello del «bandito», nel senso di Danilo Dolci, di chi si trova fuori dalla legge in quanto escluso dalla società. Il metodo dell’«accademia umile» consiste di tre fasi: la co-munità educate, la prova autentica e il saggio riflessivo. Le sue articolazioni verranno presentate attraverso un'esperienza di scrittura partecipata di un progetto di legge sulle dipendenze coordinata da Clelia Bartoli. Il testo è stato redatto dagli stu-denti di Giurisprudenza e da una variegata comunità educante di persone competenti nel senso classico e in quanto cono-scevano il problema sulla loro pelle. Il disegno di legge-quadro Dalla dipendenza all’interdipendenza è stato presentato all’Assemblea Regionale Siciliana e approvato all’unanimità il 25 settembre 2024. È considerato uno dei testi normativi più innovativi in Italia in materia di dipendenze, grazie alla sua natura interdisciplinare, sistemica e il processo di ideazione dal basso.

Abstract
The prevailing university teaching method, particularly in law departments, is transmissive. The architecture of spaces, time-tables, the structure of exams, bureaucracy presuppose such an approach. Even so-called innovative didactics, particularly those adopting the most advanced technologies, often serve to make the “deposits” of knowledge (according to Freire's ter-minology) more efficient, without questioning the model of power, so intimately connected to the authority of knowledge, as Foucault or Bourdieu and Passeron, and many other criti-cal voices have shown. ‘Humble Academy’ is a form of teaching that intends to exper-iment a model of education consistent with a critical reading of the role of the university. Despite the claim contained in the name “university”, the educational approach here presented renounces to hold universal, total and valid knowledge for all, the idea of monopoly and self-sufficiency. It therefore teaches to learn always, everywhere and from anyone, especially from the marginals. Considering that the view from the periphery must complement the panoptic view from the centre. For exam-ple, in the case of law: the gaze of the judge, the legislator or the model citizen should meet that of the “outlaw”, in Danilo Dolci's sense, of those who is a “bandit” because was “ban-ished”. The method of the “humble academy” consists of three phases: the learning community, the authentic assessment and the re-flective essay. Its articulations will be presented through the experience of the participatory writing of a bill about services for people with addictions, coordinated by Clelia Bartoli. The text was drafted by law students together with a rich learning community composed by experts, in the classical sense, and who knew the problem first-hand. The broad bill From dependency to interdependency was pre-sented to the Sicilian Regional Assembly and unanimously ap-proved on 25 September 2024. It is considered one of the most innovative legislative texts in Italy in the field of addiction, thanks to its systemic nature and bottom-up process of inven-tion.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
