The art of living knowledge
Thinking knowing in higher education landscapes
January 13, 20 and 27
Uithof, Utrecht 19.00 – 21.30
Producing something new is a joyful event, which comes from a continuous composition of ideas between brains. This living knowledge escapes somewhere and somehow measurement and control. But despite its nature, knowledge in universities is today trapped into the rigid organization of curricula, measured through multiple-choice question exams and study points, and research subordinated to immediate application and profitability.
This seminar will provide the tools to understand how knowledge is produced in common and how – and to what extend – it can be captured by controlling powers.
Furthermore, the seminar itself will be an attempt to observe living knowledge in action. Think of the word ‘brainstorm’. If you try to understand and change the situation you are in and you need to invent something new, it will always be storming in your body. This continuing storm is what makes knowledge live. The seminar is an effort to organize, to construct the storm.
