Whilst thinking about the current pandemic and the way that it has come to transform the institutions of my home country, I have come across an example that made me recall Benjamin’s project. The secretariat of public education in Mexico −the institution in charge of the standardized schooling practices there− organized for the current semester to take place via radio, internet, but most importantly, television. From August 24th to the end of the school year (July 2021), thirty million Mexican students3 will enrol in school whilst relying on technologies that usually do not play a central role in their formal learning experiences. The written word has been overtaken by waves, signals, and connections.
