Universities after postmodernism

Universities have a contribution to make towards the creation of a more just society. To do so, not only must the new language from industry be challenged, there needs too to be a break from the postmodernist mindset which still defines much academic debate. Drawing on ideas from political economy, critical social science and feminist theory and practice this paper urges a re-positioning of higher education which requires moving on from the ‘linguistic turn’ towards a more ‘practical turn’. It proposes that mass university higher education has a future if it actively engages with adults from a much wider social spectrum than at present and if it re-engages with notions of the public nature of truth and values through working to articulate urgent problems with people other than academics.     

面纱--在蒙与未蒙之间--在后现代语境下对布莱希特"间离效果"理论的思考

在后现代语境下,通过对布莱希特“间离效果”美学思想的产生和美学创作(编剧、表演、舞美)三个方面的创新性分析,从中“间离”出美学理念和美学实践中暗含着的辩证性认知特征与后现代性(开放型结构)的特征,并指出他们所具有的意义。

后现代主义视野下课程设计的转向

建立在对现代理性主义批判和反思基础上的后现代主义,为完善我国课程设计提供了新的视角.课程设计主体所表现的价值取向、课程设计对象所涉及的人性观、课程设计内容的重要构成部分知识观均受到后现代主义的影响,于是重新从这三个层面诠释课程设计的后现代转向就有着深远意蕴.
