Abstract

Abstract More than a decade ago, critical ecopedagogue Richard Kahn expressed his fears and hopes regarding Education for sustainable development (ESD). He feared that ESD would be short lived and marginalized and would develop an instrumental pedagogy of one-sided transmission of knowledge, yet hoped for ESD to encompass three types of “ecoliteracies”: technical/functional, cultural and critical. After an assessment of current ESD, as reported by UNESCO, this paper concludes that his two first fears were unfounded, while his hopes regarding ESD’s pedagogical content were largely not met. To better understand the result, Luc Boltanski’s and Éve Chiapello’s analysis of “the new spirit of capitalism” is mobilized. According to it, current capitalism integrates “artistic critique” on e.g., lack of autonomy and creativity with greater ease than “social critique” with respect to e.g., poverty and inequality. This might explain what ecoliteracies that are integrated into ESD.
终身学习:可持续发展教育、生态教育学与资本主义新精神
十多年前,批评家理查德·卡恩对可持续发展教育(ESD)表达了他的担忧和希望。他担心可持续发展教育将是短暂的和边缘化的,并将发展一种片面传播知识的工具性教学法,但他希望可持续发展教育包括三种类型的“生态文化”:技术/功能、文化和批判。根据联合国教科文组织的报告,在对当前的可持续发展教育进行评估后,本文得出结论,他最初的两个担忧是没有根据的,而他对可持续发展教育教学内容的希望在很大程度上没有得到满足。为了更好地理解这一结果,我们调动了Luc Boltanski和Éve Chiapello对“资本主义新精神”的分析。根据它,当前的资本主义将“艺术批判”(例如,缺乏自主性和创造力)与“社会批判”(例如,贫困和不平等)结合起来更容易。这也许可以解释什么生态素养被整合到可持续发展教育中。
