This also has repercussions in the field of art and culture. In the context of Hip Hop, for example, African American female rappers propose a female image in which the vindication of one’s blackness is accompanied by an awareness of the fluidity of sexual identity and the need to break certain stereotypes for which political commitment must necessarily coincide with “sobriety” of behavior. In their video clips there are frames that recall the Black Panthers or the Black Lives Matter movement, one can fight against racial and class discrimination without renouncing a politics of desire, which opens up interesting educational reflections.

The aim was to enable students, future teachers, to build, in teams, a video game environment that could be reproduced even in the absence of the digital devices on which it is usually implemented and through which it can be reproduced. This last circumstance can occur in many school complexes, unfortunately still lacking adequate structures and instruments. The educational and pedagogical mission of the Laboratory was also to allow future teachers to experiment in a protected environment, the university one, the video game principles applicable even in disadvantaged class contexts. The educational objective was to ensure that the students involved in the design of the game master the philosophy of gamification, so that they could take advantage of it wisely and consciously in their future classes.

The dialectical relationship between medical discourse and pedagogical discourse has been historically marked by a hegemonic power of the former over the latter. The authors, assuming an argumentative perspective that tries to combine the contribution of Institutional Analysis with that of Disability Studies, trying to investigate the questions and implications that derive from this power relationship by posing a series of questions by which they try to do to emerge a possible problematization of the issues that today question Special Pedagogy, particularly in relation to the concept of inclusion and the practices involving those who work in the school but also the scholars themselves of education.

ABSTRACT
The authors, inspired by B.F. Skinner’s novel Walden Two and its vision of
a society governed by engineering devices (be them human or not) determining, planning and regulating human behavior, make the suggestive argument that the Web may be conceived today as a huge Skinner box. A cage governed by algorithms processing enormous quantities of sensitive data by which they control and regulate the access to information, relentlessly monitor and measure
our performances, predicting and directing our desires. From this suggestion, the authors eventually reflect on the socio-cultural (therefore also political-economic) phenomena related to the so-called post-truth, such as fake news or echo chambers, arguing that they are difficult to understand unless we reconstruct à la Foucault the mechanisms and devices that lie behind them, hence authentically practicing a kind of critical analysis that interrogates truth in its effects of power
and power in its discursive truths.
