La professionnalisation de l’offre de formation universitaire : quelques spécificités by Richard Wittorski

“…En France, à la fois portée par les orientations nationales et européennes s’agissant de l’organisation de la formation initiale et continue et prônée par les secteurs privés, la professionnalisation fait d’évidence l’objet à la fois d’une attente sociale et d’une valorisation fortes.Cette contribution a pour intention à la fois de mentionner quelques spécificités de la professionnalisation de l'offre de formation universitaire et de préciser ce qui nous semble constituer les conditions d’une professionnalisation plus forte, illustrée dans nos propos par la formation des enseignants et la formation continue des travailleurs sociaux.A travers ces spécificités, Il s’agira, ainsi, de mieux cerner la nature des difficultés à « faire vivre » l’intention de professionnalisation, et, enfin, dans ce contexte encourager la combinaison de « six voies de professionnalisation » (Wittorski, 2007).…”

“…Jusqu’au surréalisme, la littérature emprunte son modèle à la presse, mais en n’en sélectionnant que certaines caractéristiques, et sans oublier la logique du Livre mallarméen : est ainsi visée une synthèse du livre et du journal, dont Le surréalisme au service de la Révolution constitue l’exemple le plus achevé. Si les œuvres d’assemblage de textes de la deuxième moitié du xxe siècle découlent plutôt du collage, elles intègrent des coupures de presse et permettent non seulement de la critiquer, mais surtout de proposer une « pluritextualité » qui fonctionne autrement que les journaux, et qui pourrait être le modèle d’une presse utopique qui demanderait au lecteur non seulement de s’informer, mais surtout de mettre en relation et en perspective les différentes informations qui lui sont proposées.…”
