Sommario/riassunto

"Universities have been subjected to continuous government reforms since the 1980s, to make them 'entrepreneurial', 'efficient' and aligned to the predicted needs and challenges of a global knowledge economy. Under increasing pressure to pursue 'excellence' and 'innovation', many universities are struggling to maintain their traditional mission to be inclusive, improve social mobility and equality and act as the 'critic and conscience' of society. Drawing on a multi-disciplinary research project, University Reform, Globalisation and Europeanisation (URGE), this collection analyses the new landscapes of public universities emerging across Europe and the Asia-Pacific, and the different ways that academics are engaging with them" --

Sommario/riassunto

Der Band versammelt kritische Perspektiven auf digitale Transformationen und diesen zugrunde liegende Mechanismen wie Quantifizierung, Algorithmisierung und Kommerzialisierung. Die Autor*innen aus Medienpädagogik, Erziehungswissenschaft, Bildungsforschung und Medienwissenschaft problematisieren in ihren Beiträgen Tendenzen der ökonomistischen und technizistischen Vereinnahmung und beschreiben widerständige Praktiken. Ihnen allen geht es dabei auf je spezifische Weise um die Frage nach dem komplexen Verhältnis des Subjektes zu Gesellschaft, Institutionen und Medien – und Möglichkeiten seiner Veränderung.

Die Publikation von Dander u. a. Ist für diejenigen interessant, die sich mit Digitalisierung auf vielen verschiedenen Ebenen auseinandersetzen



möchten(…)Die Beiträge sind dabei sowohl auf einem hohen fachlichen Niveau als auch gut lesbar gehalten.     Merz_medien + Erziehung (Zeitschrift für Medienpädagogik)/ Oktober 2020
