This book addresses essential educational dimensions of the
university that are often overlooked, not only by prevailing
discourses and practices but also by standard critical approaches
to higher education. Each chapter takes a different approach to the
articulation of a 'post-critical' view of the university, and
focuses on a specific dimension, including lectures, academic
freedom, and the student experience. The 'post-critical' attitude
offers an affirmative approach to the constitutive educational
practices of the university. It is 'post-' because it is a movement
in thought that comes after the critical, which, in its modern and
postmodern forms is considered, in Latour's terms, to have 'run out
of steam'. It is an attempt to articulate new conceptual and
methodological tools that help us grasp our current conditions. It
is not anti-critique; but rather than seeking to debunk current
practices, this affirmative approach offers perspectives that shed
new light on what we do as educators, on the essence of our
educational practices, and on their immanent value. The focus on
the educational, then, applies not only to practices that happen to
take place in the educational space of the university, but also to
those practices whose value we can understand in educational terms.
