De geneugten van seksualisering
No full textWat van ‘seksualisering’ te denken? Het eerste wat opvalt is dat de term ‘seksualisering’ een vage term is die vaak in conjunctie met, of als synoniem van ‘pornoficatie’ wordt gebruikt. Wat wordt precies met ‘seksualisering’ bedoeld? Kunnen we verschillende vormen, doelgroepen, niveaus en processen van seksualisering onderscheiden? Als we de media, cultuurcritici, academici en seksuologen mogen geloven dan heeft seksualisering de laatste decennia een hoge vlucht genomen. Maar is ‘seksualisering’ wel zo nieuw? In de grote meerderheid van publicaties over dit thema wordt voornamelijk gewezen op de schadelijke effecten van ‘seksualisering.’ Maar kan seksualisering ook positieve effecten hebben? Wie bekritiseert seksualisering en waarom? Zijn er mensen die het verwelkomen? En om welke redenen dan wel? Is onze moderne samenleving nu daadwerkelijk meer geseksualiseerd dan vroeger? En hoe uit zich dat dan? Welke mechanismen en actoren spelen een rol bij seksualisering? Wat zijn de maatschappelijke en individuele gevolgen ervan en hoe daarmee omgaan? Hoe seksualisering evalueren? Wat zegt een groeiende seksualisering over ons, onze samenleving en cultuur? Het is op dit soort vragen dat ik in deze bijdrage een antwoord probeer te formuleren of de discussie zal proberen weer te geven.
Ik wil zo een aanzet geven tot een genuanceerde, inzichtelijke en bredere kijk op het brede fenomeen seksualisering. Ik hoop hierdoor ten minste aannemelijk te maken dat er behalve negatieve aspecten ook positieve elementen in het seksualiseringverhaal kunnen worden geduid
Defining 'The University: ' From 'Ivory Tower' to 'Convenience Store'
No full textRecent changes in the organisation and financing of universities affecting both their research and their teaching mission have provoked intense debate on how the university should be organised, echoing Edward Shills’ call for ‘saving its soul.’ Figuring predominantly in these discussions are ‘definitions’ of what a university really is.
In this paper some of these discussion on the nature of the university will be analysed from the viewpoint of analytical ethics. Charles S. Stevenson developed a model for analysing moral discourse and discussion that is highly informative when applied to the discussion on the nature of the university. I will argue that in many cases persuasive definitions are central to the discussion. The applicability of other insight from the analysis of moral discussion - e.g. his distinction between agreement/disagreement in belief and attitude - will be explored. From this we can conclude that the battle for the university is a moral discussion, and that ‘the university’ behaves like a moral term
Conflicting Models of the University: Traditionalist and Innovative Views and the Semantic Horizon of 'The University'
No full textIn the first part of this chapter I provide an analysis of the claim that 'the university is in crisis.' This claim, so it turns out, cannot be rephrased as 'a lot of universities are experiencing serious difficulties.' The first claim is of a more evaluative nature, while the second claim is of a more factual nature. In the remainder of this chapter I flesh out two oppositional viewpoints on 'the university.' The Traditional viewpoint starts out from an articulation of an 'idea of the university.' The Innovative viewpoint is based on a more empirically informed view on the history, evolution and characteristics of (existing) universities. The two views are compared along the following dimensions: research, teaching, service to society, the professor, the student and the institution. Both views, although opposed, can be located within the 'semantic horizon' of the concept of the university
