Uni's just institutional daylight robbery' : universities in crisis? What's new? / Simon J. Charlesworth -- Epilogue / Ida Sabelis.Academia is standing at a junction in time. Behind lies the community of the curious, ahead the mass and the market. This book joins in a growing stream of works that explore the vicissitudes of present-day European universities in what Bauman coined as liquid times. Here, a number of concerned (engaged) European scholars attempt to defend and brush up academic core values and practices, starting from their own life worlds and positions in higher education. They share the view that there is no point in turning back, nor in mechanically marching straight on. Above all, they uphold that there is no alternative to treasuring academia as a space for thinking together. Hopefully the fruit of this sine qua non invites to think with, and envision academic activism. Contributors are Samuel Abraham, Stefano Bianchini, Simon Charlesworth, Leonidas Donskis, Frans Kamsteeg, Joost van Loon, Ida Sabelis, Tamara Shefer and Harry Wels

Universities as Laboratories. Internationalization and the Liquidity of National Learning
No full textThe essay explores circumstances and opportunities that mark the internationalization of European Universities after the Cold War. It reports the results achieved by the European human capital strategy with a specific focus on the Erasmus mobility impact on young generations. It expands the analysis to transnational research and networks as modern methods of work for academic investigation. Then, the essay highlights some crucial aspects of the debate on the social role of Higher Institutions, how disciplines should complement education, and University potentials implemented in support of their social engagement. Particular relevance is given to the internationalization of Higher Education Institutions in years characterized by globalization. By affecting national policies of education and research, its inputs contributes, in fact, to melt the homogenization of cultures and languages promoted in the last two centuries. By contrast, this process generates tough resistances, which threaten the transnational education under construction. Subsequently, it is widening the gap between mobile and sedentary educated people. This may produce social conflicts with unpredictable impacts on how knowledge should be constructed, with the risk of stifling the role of Universities as laboratories of universal culture

Morele ambivalentie en onthulling:Een pedagogiek voor dier-mens relaties
Full text linkDe houding van veel mensen en organisaties in hun relaties met dieren is ethisch beschouwd buitengewoon ambivalent (Herzog 2010). We kunnen tegelijk van dieren houden en ze laten lijden, doden om te eten en als proefdier gebruiken. Zonder hierbij stil te staan, slapen wij met de kat op bed nadat wij een copieus diner met kalfsvlees hebben genoten en voor het tandenpoetsen onze op dieren geteste medicijnen hebben genomen. In dit stuk betogen we dat deze ambivalentie het gevolg is van een meer of minder bewuste vorm van verhulling
Quotiescumque : Greek Origin of a Latin Confessor’s Guide
No full textThe guidebook for confessors that is called after its first name ‘Quotiescumque’ was a
widespread text in the Middle Ages. One part of it, a priest’s preparatory prayer for hearing
one or more confessions, even still appears in a Ritual published at Würzburg in 1836. The
present study shows that this confessor’s guide is the Latin translation of a Greek model, with
the exception of two interpolations by a Latin author. This thesis is based on the fact that
there is also a Greek text of the priest’s prayer and Quotiescumque includes a rule on fasting
that can only have been written by a Greek author ... The purpose of my study is, first, to prove that the confessor’s guide Quotiescumque is the
Latin translation of a Greek text. Quotiescumque is called after its first word ‘Quotiescunque
(christianis qui ad paenitentiam accedunt ieiunia damus)’. The other aims of my book are: to
present the texts of the various sections of Quotiescumque, to explain these texts by analyzing
them and by adducing other texts that shed light upon those of the confessor’s guide and,
finally, to show the influence of the writing over an area including France, Germany and Italy,
and over a period of about 10 centuries
