Why is a live chicken banned from the kindergarten? Two lessons learned from teaching posthuman pedagogy to university students
2019
The hierarchical human-centric paradigm has been criticized by various movements of posthuman philosophy because this paradigm forgets and dismisses nonhuman beings and entities: animals, nature, objects, and technology. When I developed a course called ‘Education and Adaptations of Animal Studies’ for university students in 2015, I learned two lessons in practice. First, many humans, pedagogues, and academics want to hold on to their anthropocentric worldview that separates them from other species. Second, in pedagogical practices humans prefer to avoid confronting the violence they do toward animals. In this article, I reflect on these two lessons learned and consider what they tell us ab…
El ecofeminismo
2017
El Ecofeminismo, más allá de una tendencia, es un modo de ver la vida y los procesos que de ella subyacen, es por tanto una filosofía de trabajo. Este modo de entender la existencia, basado en la reivindicación de modelos no patriarcales y holísticos, está surcado por diferentes tendencias, desde experiencias diversas, pero nacen de un tronco común y complementan un modo de estar del mundo: la conciencia de ser naturaleza. Estos principios de trabajo, por la riqueza de los mismos, podrían muy bien ayudar a hilvanar el discurso transversal de un programa formativo basado en el humanismo muy en sintonía con la Educación Popular.
Animales, teorías feministas posmodernas y prácticas artísticas.
2019
Este artículo pretende mostrar cómo algunas teorías feministas posmodernas como el ecofeminismo y el posthumanismo, de autoras como Françoise d'Eaubonne, Alicia Puleo, Donna Haraway o Rosi Baridotti han contribuido a la crítica contra las prácticas androcéntricas basadas en el dominio sistémico de devastación y explotación del otro/a/os, perpetuando la jerarquía y autoridad del hombre. Frente a ello estas autoras han propuesto un nuevo modelo de relación orgánica y de convivencia entre cultura y naturaleza, capaz de superar los modelos binarios, inspirado en el respeto a la diversidad de sexos y especies.Estos principios se hayan, así mismo, en las prácticas artísticas de algunas autoras c…
Marketisation of Universities and Legal Education in Poland: The Balance 25 Years After the Transformation
2016
This paper is dedicated to the issue of the marketisation of universities and legal education 25 years after the systemic transformation of 1989 where, in public discourse, communist ideology had been replaced by a neo-liberal one. The process of marketisation is perceived as a way to deal with externalities’ where activities in areas traditionally regarded to be of a non-economic nature are being transformed to operate according to market-oriented model (with competitive market, pursuit for profit, economic efficiency, and cost reduction). The mentioned process has encroached into the sphere of higher education where there is observable departure from Humboldt’s model of university and a s…

The Sartre‐Heidegger Controversy on Humanism and the Concept of Man in Education
2012
Jean‐Paul Sartre claims in his 1945 lecture ‘Existentialism is a Humanism’ that there are two kinds of existentialism: that of Christians like Karl Jaspers, and atheistic like Martin Heidegger. Sartre's ‘spiritual master’ Heidegger had no problem with Sartre defining him as an atheist, but he had serious problems with Sartre's concept of humanism and existentialism. Heidegger claims that the essence of humanism lies in the essence of the human being. After the Enlightenment, the Western concept of man has been presented in education in the form of Kantian humanistic essentialism. At least in the Finnish educational system, Kantian humanism is almost an official ideological background of all…
Thomas MacGreevy and Samuel Beckett. Affinity and Controversy
2012
Acquainted with Beckett in (1928) Parisian Ecole Normale, Thomas MacGreevy soon became his confidant and a literary mentor introducing him to James Joyce and Richard Aldington. Their artistic interests took form, among others, of the common declaration “Manifesto. Poetry is Vertical” (1932), signed by them and several other poets associated with Jolas’s transition. However, the intellectual attraction between the two was, at the same time, disturbed, or, so to say, spiced, by the tension between Beckett’s agnosticism and MacGreevy’s Catholicism. Sean Kennedy’s illuminating article (“Beckett Reviewing MacGreevy: A Reconsideration,” in; The Irish University Review, September 2005, pp. 273–288…
Music, Architecture, Proportion and the Renaissance Way of Thinking
2020
During the Renaissance, the language of proportion became a unified theory capable of encompassing the understanding of the world within a coherent theological, philosophical and artistic framework. Music, with its harmonic paradigm, plays a key role in this construction. From the fifteenth century through to the end of the sixteenth century, architects and architectural theorists made reference, both in new treatises and commentaries to Vitruvius, to musical matters, transforming architecture into the summa of knowledge. The affinity to music was grounded on both a common mathematical and rhetoric gnosiology. Formerly conceived of as ideal, numbers became eloquent, reinforcing the quantita…
Identitetens uppklarnande och kulturvärden
1987
Pulkkinen, L.: Identity achievement and cultural values. Nordisk Psykologi, 1987, 39 (3), 186–202. Relationships between identity achievement and cultural values were studied with 240 young adults. A questionnaire contained a scale for Identity Achievement modified from Crotevant & Adams' (1984) EOM-EIS and questions concerning the importance of various values (e.g. religious, scientific) for one's life, and expectations about and fears of the future. LISREL analyses revealed that Identity Achievement was divided into two components, ethical (friendship, religion) and functional identity (sex roles, politics), rather than ideological and interpersonal identity suggested by Grotevant and Ada…
