图像世界的感性迷狂——我国当前教育实践中的图像化批判

当前我国教育实践中表现出的种种乱象,诸如教育意义的浅层化、教育目标的模糊化、知识内涵的表层化、教学知识的碎片化、教学行为的表演化、师生交往的形式化等一系列偏离教育本真意义的实践行为,从根本上讲是“读图时代”中人们深受图像化思维侵蚀和支配而呈现的一种“感性迷狂”所致。“图像化思维”作为人们借以理解当下图像世界的一种生理感官方式,已经渗入教育场域之中并对教育理论和实践造成了严重危害。我们必须正视教育图像化带来的种种弊病,并在柏拉图理念论的“以理性来理解世界”这一根本原则的理论指引下,力求从视觉狂欢统治下的图像化教育回归到理念世界中理性支配的教育,完成由“视”到“思”的复归。

Perceptual Ecstasy in the Image World:Criticism on the Image-dominated Educational Practice in China

The current educational practice in China is characterized by a variety of chaotic phenomena,such as the shallow educational significance,vague educational objectives,superficial knowledge connotation,fragmented knowledge teaching,dramatized teaching process,and formalized teacher-student communication.Deviated from the true meaning of education,they are essentially caused by a kind of perceptual ecstasy which is deeply eroded and dominated by the image-oriented thinking in the age of image-reading.As a physiological perceptual way for people to understand the current image world,image-oriented thinking has penetrated into the educational field and caused serious harm to educational theory and practice.Facing up to the harmful effect brought about by image-dominated education,we must strive to return from the image-dominated education under the rule of vision to the education dominated by reason in the conceptual world,changing from viewing to thinking under the guidance of Plato's theory of understanding the world with reason.
