The term vocation has been set aside in favor of professionalization. At the same time, business values colonize our ways of life, including education. Teachers’ work, for instance, has been more and more adapted to the professionalizing values of the market. The idea of teachers’ craft,
therefore, is out of date and seems out of “situation”, since craft does not suit the demand for flexibility at work, for instance. Thus, there is a change of the logic in schools that aims to adapt to the hegemonic economic system, modifying profoundly our conception of values in education.
However, nowadays, some thinkers about education rescue the potentiality of retaking the
conception of vocation and craft. This is the case of Jorge Larrosa. This paper seeks to bring out the importance of Larrosa’s critical position. To this end, a critical-interpretative bibliography investigation is carried out around this issue that Larrosa shows us when discussing with other contemporary thinkers, such as Sennett and Deleuze, among others.
