What time conceals, or when the social needs Pedagogy

Abstract

The old perception that time is the same for everyone is being shattered in the network society. As never before, the readings concerning its circumstances reveal the need for a new outlook on spatio-temporal coordinates in everyday life, encouraging an interdis­ciplinary dialogue that goes from the local to the global, from the particular to the universal, from chronos to kairos, from the biological to the social, from business to leisure.

In the multiple scenarios to which these transitions are opened, we situate the main ar­guments of the text that we present. Within it, we refer to reconciliation as an opportunity to build equity, as long as it goes beyond employment policies, co-responsibility in household chores and time changes. Aware that these are challenges that demand full respect for human rights, regardless of gender, age, socio-economic status, etc., we advocate the urgent need to educate in school and society in order to reconcile. In the face of the inhibitions of the past, both curricular teachings and social education are called upon to become actively involved in the name of freedom, equity, cohesion and social justice. A mission in which social pedagogy can, and should have, a decisive role.
