Anxiety of performativity and anxiety of performance: self-evaluation as bad faith

ABSTRACT

Self-evaluation, a devolved, rigorous form of teacher inspection, has increasingly been promoted in educational circles as a way to balance both teacher autonomy and accountability. Such balancing acts help to alleviate anxiety around inspection, for the teacher who would otherwise face a visit from an inspector, and for the public who are concerned about self-evaluation being less objective. Using the Irish policy of self-evaluation, this paper will first explore the evidence-based approaches and the appropriation of a ‘language of evaluation’ that are inherent to so-called low-stakes accountability systems. In part, such mechanisms are used in order to alleviate anxiety. The anxiety that self-evaluation focuses on, however, corresponds only to aspects of teaching that are conducive to measurement, and therefore refers solely to what may be called an anxiety of performativity. Furthermore, its attempts to repress an anxiety of performativity ironically fails to acknowledge a more fundamental form of anxiety that teaching as a ‘performance’ involves. Using Sartre’s idea of ‘bad faith’, this paper will ultimately argue that teaching inevitably involves an element of anxiety that should not be repressed but rather should be lived and worked with well, something which self-evaluation in its current form fails to capture.

Anxiety and the Use of Alcohol‐Related Protective Behavioral Strategies

Protective behavioral strategies (PBS) are useful skills for reducing the negative consequences of alcohol. The moderating effects of anxiety on the relationship between 3 different types of PBS and negative consequences were examined among students accessing college counseling services. Results revealed a significant interaction between anxiety and strategies while drinking, suggesting that these simple strategies may be particularly beneficial among students who drink heavily and experience high levels of anxiety. Implications for counseling centers are discussed.     

浅析京剧等状元戏中的科举影像

科举制度是中国封建社会长期存在、变化最小的一种制度,也是影响历代中国知识分子最重要一个社会化变量。在中国戏曲艺术舞台上,以＂状元＂为题材来演绎人物故事的作品中,占有相当大的比例且最具影响力的剧种当属京剧。长达一千三百年的科举制度,大大丰富了历代剧作家的创作素材,在一定程度上深化并延伸了＂学而优则仕＂对民族文化的影响;古老的戏剧舞台拓展了科举的表现形式,再现了科举制度的芸芸众生;统治者坐收渔人之利,达到了延揽天下人才为己用的目的。
