Abstract

ABSTRACT The current neo-liberalization of academia threatens the historical role of the university as a safe haven where critical thinking and intellectual emancipation can take place. Instead of educating questioning and independent knowledge seekers, much teaching centres on producing employable, efficient and uncritical workers who instrumentally solve problems within the given system. This essay considers the possibilities and limitations of contesting the neo-liberalization of academia through the teaching practice of not-knowing. This is done by drawing upon the work of Jacques Ranciére and by exploring how ignorant university teaching practices might lead to intellectually emancipated students. To push our imagination and understanding, the film Dead Poets Society is used as an empirical illustration.It is shown that ignorant (university) teachers can intellectually emancipated students through the practice of not-knowing by: (1) practising our own equality; (2) announcing the students’ inevitable equality; and (3) creating spaces for intellectual emancipation for our students.

追求无知的大学教师和思想解放的学生

摘要当前学术界的新自由化威胁到大学作为批判性思维和知识解放的避风港的历史地位。许多教学重点不是培养提问者和独立的知识寻求者，而是培养可就业、高效和不挑剔的工人，他们能在给定的系统内工具性地解决问题。本文通过“不知情”的教学实践，思考了质疑学术新自由化的可能性和局限性。这是通过借鉴Jacques Ranciére的工作，并探索无知的大学教学实践如何引导学生获得智力解放来实现的。为了推动我们的想象力和理解，电影《死亡诗社》被用作一个经验例证。研究表明，无知的（大学）教师可以通过不知情的实践来解放学生的智力：（1）实践我们自己的平等；（2）宣告学生不可避免的平等；以及（3）为我们的学生创造知识解放的空间。

期刊介绍： Culture and Organization was founded in 1995 as Studies in Cultures, Organizations and Societies . It represents the intersection of academic disciplines that have developed distinct qualitative, empirical and theoretical vocabularies to research organization, culture and related social phenomena. Culture and Organization features refereed articles that offer innovative insights and provoke discussion. It particularly offers papers which employ ethnographic, critical and interpretive approaches, as practised in such disciplines as organizational, communication, media and cultural studies, which go beyond description and use data to advance theoretical reflection. The Journal also presents papers which advance our conceptual understanding of organizational phenomena.
