Abstract

Would the corona pandemic be an opportunity and a test for religious education? Would it be the space for existential questions? It may be that religious education, in its normative orientation toward freedom through an agenda hidden in its deep structures and practices, becomes less a school of the language of freedom than a school of particularity or even lack of freedom. To show the relevance of this critical-productive system, we proceed, through a theoretical-bibliographical approach, in three steps: first, an exemplary approach through the discourse of vulnerability; second, demonstrate its aporias; Finally, the political dimension of religious education is bypassed as an essential element, in its relevance as a critical-productive system.
