Rockin' in Red Square: Critical Approaches to International Education in the Age of Cyberculture

Предња корица
Walter Grünzweig, Nana Rinehart
LIT Verlag Münster, 2002 - 220 страница

International educators can take the high road towards rigorous investment in the ideals of true cultural exchange or continue down the low road to customer satisfaction and design programs that reduce or eliminate challenges. International education structured according to the latter principle is little more than just another product in the global marketplace. In spite of the process of "globalization" and partly because of it, international education faces a major crisis. This volume, with contributors from Austria, Chile, France, Germany, The Netherlands, and the United States, sets forth a timely and provocative critique of international education and assesses its future under radically different conditions than those in place twenty years ago.

Walter Grnzweig is professor of American literature and culture at Universitt Dortmund. He holds adjunct professorships at the University of Pennsylvania, University of New York at Binghamton and Canisius College. Nana Rinehart is associate director of the International Student Exchange Program.

That coarseness and strength combined with acuteness and inquisitiveness; that practical, inventive turn of mind, quick to find expedients; that masterful grasp of material things, lacking in the artistic but powerful to effect great ends ; that restless, nervous energy;* that dominant individualism, working for good and for evil, and withal that buoyancy and exuberance which comes with freedom — these...
Страница 19 - Knowledge can no longer be regarded as discrete and coherent, its production defined by clear rules and governed by settled routines. Instead, it has become a mixture of theory and practice, abstraction and aggregation, ideas and data. The boundaries between the intellectual world and its environment have become blurred as hybrid science combines cognitive and non-cognitive elements in novel and creative ways.
Страница 46 - Kafka's story, explaining that the condition of exile is "a tightrope high above the ground without the net afforded a person by the country where he has his family, colleagues, and friends, and where he can easily say what he has to say in a language he has known from...
Страница 77 - I define intelligence — that is, as the ability to solve problems, or to fashion products, that are valued in one or more cultural or community settings.
Страница 80 - We have two brains, two minds — and two different kinds of intelligence: rational and emotional. How we do in life is determined by both — it is not just IQ, but emotional intelligence that matters. Indeed, intellect cannot work at its best without emotional intelligence, (p.
Страница 78 - Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand other people: what motivates them, how they work, how to work co-operatively with them . . . /mropersonal intelligence ... is a correlative ability, turned inwards. It is a capacity to form an accurate, veridical model of oneself and to be able to use that model to operate effectively in life.
