Abstract

Following Montaigne’s spirit, we asked several university students how they felt and experienced confinement, online education and the situation called “new normality”. The structure of a story is adopted, to address the origins of higher education institutions, their meanings and their nonsenses, reading narratives of youths whose kid-napped bodies proved on “confined pedagogies”. In this knot we listen to their soliloquies in front of screen, perceiving what they miss and what they fear, in this “virtual pre-sent” that confuses and rebuilds pasts and futures. At the end, their stolen future is spun. The ideal image of University as a space for transition to adulthood ad as a way to acquire a full membership of a community are frozen by the lack of immunity. Once upon a time, there was a world of empty streets, silent classrooms, and words encoded in algorithms. This is a tale in where we have listened to our students as a way not to feel so alone.
