This essay begins by examining the prolific debate about the teaching of literature during the nineteen-seventies and -eighties. It then proceeds to discuss the importance of the question of alterity and the fundamental role that literature and school can play, despite the crisis of the "literary" and the growing predominance of the advertising discourse (linked with "Berlusconism"). The essay argues for a "school of resistance" where literature and critique become the grounds for a pluralistic and dialogic culture.
