Schooling first levels into dynamic conformism then expands autonomous personality

Evidence

In the first phase the aim is to discipline, hence also to level out—to obtain a certain kind of “conformism” which may be called “dynamic”. In the creative phase, on the basis that has been achieved of “collectivisation” of the social type, the aim is to expand the personality—by now autonomous and responsible, but with a solid and homogeneous moral and social conscience. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 347

Categorization

• DEFINE: Key Gramscian coinage: ‘dynamic conformism’ as the disciplined base from which autonomy grows.
• XREF: This sequence — discipline then autonomy, culture internalized before critique — maps onto how the toolkit treats subjects formed first by their national culture.
