This looks great! I would love to participate.

In sum, calling for university curricula to “adapt to the market” is not neutral reform. It’s a normative position that privileges one cognitive interest over the others.

These aren’t competing “products” on a marketplace of degrees but distinct ways of orienting ourselves in the world. We need all three. Reducing education to only the technical interest is impoverishing, what Habermas would call a classic case of "instrumental rationality colonizing the lifeworld."

Very true! As Habermas argued in "Knowledge and Human Interests" modern knowledge stems from three different interests:
– technical (prediction, control → STEM, markets)
– practical (understanding meaning → humanities)
– emancipatory (critical reflection → critical social sciences, critical theory)

En este libro precioso Margit demuestra la ubicuidad de la lectura en voz alta en el Siglo de Oro. Si a un especialista le cuesta Calderón mientras que un trabajador analfabeto del XVII no perdía comba en un corral ruidoso es porque la literatura en voz alta había socializado determinadas destrezas

Igual que yo, en mis estudios de Filología Hispánica en la Universidad de León, allá por 1994.

I’m increasingly convinced by the argument China’s decade-long investment to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, and particularly imports, is not only creating a new electrified model that other South countries can benefit from, but is leaving the West behind because it can’t ditch fossil fuels.
