What is alive and what is dead about the university. First pedagogical reflections in the midst of the global pandemic

Abstract

Educational institutions have been heavily involved in the Covid-19 global pandemic: schools and universities have faced a situation unprecedented and unexpected. In the midst of this worldwide crisis, the article aims to return to the fundamental questions about the authentic mission of university institutions, wondering what elements should be relaunched and what elements should be abandoned because they have been overtaken by the course of history and can no longer be justified from a pedagogical point of view.
