Abstract

The rise of conspiracy culture and the growing influence of conspiracy theories have attracted the attention of scholars from a range of fields. In recent years, Daniel Jolley, Asbjørn Dyrendal and others have noted the prevalence of conspiracy theories amongst adolescent schoolchildren in Scandinavia and the UK. This article draws on Paulo Freire’s concept of the ‘banking model’ of education to make the case against a ‘debunking’ approach to anti-conspiracist education. It argues that conspiracism should be understood as a feature of our culture and as such it should be interrogated rather than dismissed by educators who are engaged in the process of educating for democracy.
银行与揭穿:运用弗莱雷理论应对阴谋文化的教育挑战
阴谋文化的兴起和阴谋论日益增长的影响力吸引了各领域学者的关注。近年来,丹尼尔-约利(Daniel Jolley)、阿斯比约恩-戴伦达尔(Asbjørn Dyrendal)等人注意到,在斯堪的纳维亚半岛和英国的青少年学生中,阴谋论盛行。本文借鉴保罗-弗莱雷(Paulo Freire)的 "银行模式 "教育概念,反对以 "揭穿 "的方式开展反阴谋论教育。文章认为,阴谋论应被理解为我们文化的一个特征,因此,参与民主教育进程的教育工作者应质疑而不是否定阴谋论。
