2pm - Pedagogy and Institution: Method and Anti-Method, Seminar with Daniele Rugo, Sam McAuliffe.
The pedagogical act is subject to an “immanent untruth” Adorno writes in an essay on teaching. In what does this untruth consist, and what are its consequences? In this session, the ethico-political specificity of pedagogy encounters the delimitations of the institution: questions for/from the institution.
5pm - Talk by Gary Peters and Steve Purcell "Aesthetic Education in the Age of Knowledge Exchange: Some philosophical reflections on the National Student Survey"
With particular reference to Nietzsche, Heidegger and Jacques Ranciere, this talk will consider the tensions between the aesthetic, the post-aesthetic and the academic within a knowledge economy driven by the satisfied customer. The recent National Student Survey results will be referenced as a crude, deeply unsatisfactory and yet unavoidable challenge to those who would still hold out for the aestheticisation of the academic rather than the academicisation of the aesthetic. As the Dean of a Faculty of Arts and a Professor of Critical Theory respectively, Professor Steve Purcell and Professor Gary Peters will consider some possible responses to the institutional and pedagogical pressures such surveys inevitably bring in their wake as well as the wider philosophical issues surrounding the relationship between art and the University.
