Exercising ‘The Right To Research’: Youth‐Based Community Media Production as Transformative Action

This article explores the participatory media practices used by the Center for Urban Pedagogy, a non‐profit community‐based media organisation in New York City. Taking as her point of departure a digital media investigation into bodegas in the south Bronx (neighbourhood grocery stores), the author explores how CUP uses the power of art and design to cultivate civic engagement among youth, in part by strengthening participants’ public speaking, digital media and research skills. In interviews with participants, the author finds that this work mitigates participants’ expressed fears of being dismissed as boring when speaking with public officials, a fear taken seriously through a reading of the work of child psychoanalyst D. W. Winnicott. Winnicott worried that the person who felt boring too often retreated from participating in civic life. If, argues the author, youth are to claim what Appadurai describes as the fundamental ‘human right to research’ in the public realm, then the civic as well as the psychological dimensions that enable participants to engage in transformative action must be strengthened.     

阿普尔在中国:回顾与评论

为进一步推动国内的阿普尔研究,本文简要回顾了阿普尔的个人履历及其与中国(包括台湾)教育学术界的交往历程,并对国内(包括台湾)所做的"阿普尔研究"进行了全景式的回顾.通过对阿普尔本人的直接接触和文献研究,本文对国内一些学者对其本人的一些不甚准确的介绍做了澄清,对一些学术文章和学位论文中所反映出来的翻译、研究方法和有关"新自由主义"的歧义等方面问题进行了揭示,并对国内一些学者对其学术思想所做的草率评价做了必要的辩护.

Montessori and Jerome W. Berryman: work,play, religious education and the art of using the Christian language system

For more than 30 years, the thinking and writing of Jerome W. Berryman has made a significant and unique contribution to the religious education of children and adults in faith-based contexts. Claiming to be influenced primarily by the work of Maria Montessori, his writings reveal the purpose of religious education to be teaching children the art of using the Christian language system to play at the edges of knowing and being so as to creatively discern meaning and purpose in life. However, a close examination of his many journal articles and books reveal some anomalies in his approach to religious education when compared with the Montessori Method, in particular his focus on play as opposed to work, as well as creativity and the creative process, as opposed to Montessori’s grounding of the imagination in reality. These anomalies, explored in this paper, raise questions about the extent to which Berryman is, in fact, a true Montessorian.

Are our president learning? Unpacking the enthymematic connections in the speech mistakes of President George W. Bush

The purpose of this paper is to explore public interpretations of President George W. Bush's speaking errors. One interpretation of Bush's speech mistakes offered in the media is that he may have dyslexia. Therefore, we explore how an enthymeme using markers of dyslexia as a sign of bad leadership has been used to frame Bush's speaking errors. We provide an analysis of an exemplar of how Bush's speech errors are represented in the media. Our exemplar is the desktop calendar George W. Bushisms: The Accidental Wit and Wisdom of Our 43rd President . We demonstrate that this text focused on common indicators of dyslexia, that is, speaking errors, to position Bush as a 'bad' and 'stupid' leader. Finally, we offer conclusions and implications that this study has for our understanding of politics and disabilities.     

论塞拉斯的“两种映像”观——兼谈哲学研究的目标问题

塞拉斯把人类与世界之间的关系划分为"常识的"映像和"科学的"映像。他认为,前者是关于人类自己的概念,是一种前科学的、未受批判的、朴素的人类世界观,它定义了已有的哲学反思的一个端点;后者是一种经过反思、批判和逻辑加工形成的框架,是用假定感觉不到的客体和事件来说明能感觉到的客体与事件之间的相互关联。哲学研究的目标正是向着把这两种既相互竞争又相互补充的映像统一起来的方向发展的。这种观点促进了对整个哲学史的批判与反思,为科学实在论的辩护提供了方法论的借鉴意义。但是,他把人类概念思维的社会的、伦理的和价值的维度留给常识映像,把认知与说明维度留给科学映像的做法,有可能会加深自然科学与社会科学之间的分离;他对理论实体的本体论地位的论证方式有可能陷入"理论家的困境"。
