Adorno in the classroom: how contesting the influence of late capitalism enables the integrated teaching of academic literacies and critical analysis and the development of a flourishing learning community
本文探讨如何通过揭示晚期资本主义的影响，整合学术素养支持与批判分析教学，并促进学生积极参与知识建构和形成充满活力的学习社区。
We discuss how making the influence of late capitalism overt not only better enables the integration of academic literacies support and strengthens the development of critical analysis skills, but better enables students to actively participate in the construction of both knowledge and a vibrant, joyful learning community. Drawing on the work of the social theorist, Theodor W Adorno, enables students to challenge the treatment of anything – whether a word or a person – independently of its context. Adorno’s approach explores an object’s multiple connections to context by experimenting with varying combinations (or ‘constellations’) of concepts and discourses. His technique, applied in the analysis and critique of readings, whereby students using wall-to-wall whiteboards draw (and re-draw) constellations of their interpretations of those readings, enables them to actively engage in the construction of contextualised knowledge, and to develop their learning and professional identities, in playful, promising, creative ways.
