Abstract:
The paper intends to argue in favor of improving the cultural guarantees of the university. We believe that the “second humanism” theory proposed by Luc Ferry must be taken into account for this purpose. From the second humanism the cultural guarantees of the university can be developed if the academic mentalities are passionate. The important thing is to worry so that the university prevents our ability to self-interpellate ourselves. That is why it matters that universities are part of our emotional environment The university community is able to educate itself from an internal change. According to that change, not only scientific truth is sought in the university. Convictions are also sought to help the passionate exercise of university production. University museums guarantee university passions. It is considered valuable, therefore, to achieve scientific truths in the university. But we also consider it valuable to promote university passions. It is not about organizing big events in the name of superior general principles, but about preparing the future of those we love most. The university is affected by events assessing its own private life. The production of scientific knowledge contains messages of solidarity and fraternity that we must rescue. There are academic events that deserve to be kept as a memory of the university. We talk about contributions to knowledge, pedagogical innovations, student history, illustrious teachers, impact on the development of the city. This rescue can be done effectively through university museums. Despite the current reinvention of museums (Pompidou, MOMA), what happened in academic settings is not guaranteed in the collective memory. The university reports result through the minutes and resolutions, but the cultural interior is not shown. Therefore, the case of the UNPA Museo de Informatica in Rio Gallegos, is addressed. We talked with your director. We define the importance of the activity of the museum and its connections with other institutions.
