Educational culture of the city: what global urbanism teaches

Journal Title: Nauki o wychowaniu. Studia interdyscyplinarne - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

Living in the city, in a physical proximity between its inhabitants, results in mutual influences which generate given knowledge, attitudes, certain behavioral dispositions, habits and rituals, the specificity of which we call culture of the city. Educational culture of the city is part of that culture. Its structure and its processes can be investigated and can be developed, and this text presents certain possibilities of such research and development. The analyses presented here focus on a global city managed in a neoliberal way. Seeing it as a Foucauldian dispositif, one can see strategic assemblages of social phenomena productive of specific, educational apparatuses of power and knowledge. Speaking of educational culture of the city as a specific category proves theoretically viable, and can be productive both internally, as an element of its specific educational thought, and as a tool for a broader reflection on contemporary cities, their cultures and problems as well. The text aims at making such productivity apparent.
