"student research and research-like activity at all levels of undergraduate programmes, for the production of new knowledge and not simply as a pedagogical device"
I love this! teaching people how to inquire early
-
the modern university is fundamentally dysfunctional, with its two core activities – research and teaching – working against each other (Boyer 1998). Discuss!
-
"Given the extent to which the language of managerialism has overwhelmed the discourse of higher education, this is no mean achievement."
A kind of re-balancing? Appropriate this space to create something beyond managerialism?

‘living knowledge’
‘the theoretical and practical knowledge of social life in the community’ (Lefebvre 1969: 155)
-
Like Occupy, Student as Producer is framed within a broad idealistic framework: to recover ‘the idea of the University’, not as a philosophical discussion but as a course of action, or a curriculum ‘in and against’ (Holloway date), the contemporary university
-
an anti-curriuculum from the university of utopia
-
"Just as time inheres in space, use value inheres in exchange value, so to does theory inhere in practice as critical reflexivity or living knowledge, including life itself"

“Phenomenography is focused on the ways of experiencing different phenomena, ways of seeing them, knowing about them and having skills related to them. The aim is, however, not to find the singular essence, but the variation and the architecture of this variation by different aspects that define the phenomena” (Walker, 1998).

This is where Black Mirror can be useful, not as a series that people sit and watch, but as a piece of culture that leads people to put forth the questions that the show jumps over.
it is annoying you have to add text or tag each time you make something public.

if you are unable to alter the future why not simply prepare yourself for it by watching more episodes of Black Mirror? A

in staring horror struck at where we do not want to go we should not forget to ask where it is that we do want to go.

We can never reach the points of the compass; and so no doubt we shall never live in utopia; but without the magnetic needle we should not be able to travel intelligently at all.”
This is the most wonderful quote! Makes me feel optimistic about being idealistic!

the gloomy juxtaposition between what humanity can possibly achieve and what it actually achieves.
The unbearable sadness of this observation as I watch much of what counts as progress today...

The century about which Benjamin was writing was not the twenty-first century, and yet these comments about “the bungled reception of technology” and technology which “serves this society only be producing commodities” seems a rather accurate description of the worlds depicted by Black Mirror.
Yes.

the fact that technology serves this society only by producing commodities.

The episode “The Complete History of You” may be intensely disturbing, but what company was it that developed and brought the “grains” to market? What biotechnology firm supplies the grieving spouse in “Be Right Back” with the robotic/clone of her deceased husband? Who gathers the information from these devices? Where does that information live? Who is profiting? These are important questions that go unanswered, largely because they go unasked.

There are no alien invaders, occult phenomena, nor is there a suit wearing narrator who makes sure that the viewers understand the moral of each story. Instead what Black Mirror presents is dread – it holds up a “black mirror” (think of any electronic device when the power on the screen is off) to society and refuses to flinch at the reflection.
All too real!
-
it is ready made for “binge watching.” The program may be disturbing, but its indictments are soft – allowing viewers a distance that permits them to say aloud “I would never do that” even as they are subconsciously unsure.
I feel the opposite on the basis that each programme is self contained with new themes and no cliffhangers that force binge watching. It has not been my experience that it allows for complacency. Quite the opposite the fact that the worlds it portrays are not that hypothetical led me think - 'I most definitely could do that!'

After all, one can look into the mirror in order to see the dirt on one’s face or one can look in the mirror because of a narcissistic urge
is what drives this choice the size of one's ego?
-
insofar as Black Mirror advances an ethos it is one of inured acceptance – it is a satire that is both tragedy and comedy.
I think this depends on the POV you take in making the assessment. If within the narrative then I see this point. If outside the narrative, is it not saying: Let's not do that? May be I am biased from listening to Charlie Brooker talk about this. I do not see his perspective as one of 'inured acceptance' [heck, I do not know what inured means].

Though “Fifteen Million Merits” does feature a character engaging in a brave act of rebellion, this act is immediately used to strengthen the very forces against which the character is rebelling – and thus the episode repeats the refrain “don’t bother resisting, it’s too late anyways.”
Actually, I hear it saying "be mindful of the system you are part of when trying to resist, change is not just an individual action'.
