All'inizio dell'anno ho tenuto una serie di incontri sulla musica del Risorgimento presso alcune scuole dell'alto mantovano. E' stata un'esperienza molto impegnativa e molto stimolante perchè dovevo proporre a ragazzi quasi totalmente digiuni dell'argomento concetti di sociologia musicale piuttosto complessi.
Durante il path, then, are not unexpected also happened recently, like the time that thieves have stolen all the multimedia content on the night before class and come to school, I had to speak off the cuff for an hour of shooting a cameraman a few feet from the nose (surprise!) with only the help of a CD that luckily had with me, because the PC and the projector remedied on the spot did not work (live Windows!).
In that moment I was reminded of the definition that gives the Levi-Strauss bricoleur in "The Savage Mind", a definition that I think fits very well to the teaching profession:
The bricoleur is capable of perform a large number of different tasks, but unlike the engineer, he makes them the possession of raw materials and tools conceived and procured expressly for the realization of his project; (...) for him, the rule of the game is in ' adapt equipment always available ...
Fortunately, the first "equipment" teachers are the students, many or few, prepared or not, they can always surprise you by making each class unique.
A summary of that meeting (unfortunately were cut interventions favoring boys) this has been available on YouTube Video Gazzuolo Centre, which had carried out the shooting, although I hate to expose myself all'attenzione generale, è un bel ricordo di quel 'bricolage' che amo tantissimo, che è la mia professione
