My friend and colleague Niclas Rowan Power, I often refer to and constantly learn new of, has written this article that seems important and timely. Niclas is a researcher at the Dept of Education at Stockholm University and is particularly interested in communication, Democracy and leadership in school and education.
To describe Niclas in the article what it is about:
In the first part (1) I describe mainly for Bauman's understanding of the Holocaust as an unfortunate meeting between the ordinary characteristics of modern societies, i (2) I discuss the constitutive role of communication and social functions in relation to the Bau-man analysis, i (3) I clarify the distinction between dialogic and mono logical communica-tion as an essential distinction in relation to the problematic feature of modern societies as Bauman and others have identified. In addition,, i (4) I show how the concept of systematically disrupted communication can help to identify where power and unjust social conditions interfere dialogical conditions and, finally, i (5) I discuss wiat might characterize a dialogic educational communication for democracy, learning and accountability and to a unilateral target funds rational development which could erode educational practice of morality and democracy.
