Ivan Illich

Ivan Illich: an approximation with his trajectory-work (1926-1967) The present work sought an approximation with the trajectory-work of Ivan Illich between the years of 1926-1967.This temporal cut follows a path we have chosen to follow, to demonstrate a fundamental characteristic of the author: his written production strongly tied to the concrete situations of life.This engagement of Ivan Illich, who produced during those years that we analyzed at least ten important texts, was the structural axis of our dissertation.We deal with three simultaneous aspects: place in scientific culture, its trajectory and work.The first aspect appears in the first chapter in the form of an analysis of prefaces, made by intellectuals, for the books of, or about, Ivan Illich.The reader will find elements that help in identifying the Illichian critique.The second and third aspects were analyzed together, that is, we did not separate the author from his work.This can be found in the second and third chapters.It is a critique of institutionalization in its form of schooling of society, in which the background of this process is the Alliance for Progress.But it also deals with the question of language as a form of criticism of industrial modernity
