Se laisser bousculer par cet adepte des ruptures ! Voilà une bonne raison de traverser le Rhin et de découvrir à Bâle la rétrospective stimulante de l'œuvre de Max Ernst. Collage, grattage, décalcomanie, sculpture, peinture par oscillation : ce nomade dans sa vie et dans son art a toujours expérimenté de nouvelles techniques et pris de nouveaux départs. "Un peintre est perdu quand il se trouve", déclarait-il dans un film qui lui était consacré. La Fondation Beyeler, qui présente plus de 160 de ses œuvres depuis 1915 aux années 1970, célèbre ce pionnier du surréalisme moins populaire que Dali ou Magritte. Moins identifiable à un style aussi. "Il se cherchait de façon permanente, ce qui le rend difficilement saisissable du grand public", reconnaît Raphaël Bouvier, commissaire de l'exposition, avec Werner Spies, spécialiste de Max Ernst. Artiste du XXe siècle (né en Rhénanie en 1891, mort en France en 1976), après avoir vécu réfugié aux états-Unis pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Max Ernst a innové inlassablement pendant près de soixante ans, sans jamais céder à l'abstraction qu'il détestait.

The Essential Role of DialogueInspiring that kind of leadership starts with understanding the students we serve daily. I take my inspiration from Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, in which he writes: We must never merely discourse on the present situation, must never provide the people with programs which have little or nothing to do with their own preoccupations, doubts, hopes and fears -- programs which at times in fact increase the fears of the oppressed consciousness. It is not our role to speak to the people about our own view of the world, nor to attempt to impose that view on them, but rather to dialogue with the people about their view and ours.
We must realize that their view of the world, manifested variously in their action, reflects their situation in the world. Educational and political action which is not critically aware of this situation runs the risk either of "banking" or of preaching in the desert. Via Edwin Rutsch Delete the scoop?

"...Play into a game of hierarchies, and even if you don't get to the top, you get to climb a bit. Pierre Bourdieu, in his classic sociology of the university campus, Homo Academicus, talks about the way students are happy to submit to the idea that they are inferior to senior academics because doing so earns them subsequent admittance to a distinguished club of graduates. I think we can see similar patterns at work in terms of the way academic ideas are shared outside of universities too..." Delete the scoop?

I don't think we are, but that is not a problem. The question is "do teachers have the skills, the adaptability, and the learning aptitude?" We cannot fully imagine the next wave or generation of technology.
