Kenyatta University, Department of Philosophy, Nairobi, Kenya. 1-11. [PDF+] URL http://www.daad.de/de/download/alumni/veranstaltungen/06_11_06/Presented%20papers/Copy%20of%20Francis%20Gikonyo.pdf Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to show the significance of the Critical Thinking Triad in enhancing the quality and relevance of higher education in Kenya. In order to pursue this goal, it is necessary to clarify the key concepts that inform this paper namely: Education, Quality, Relevance, Critical Thinking, and Critical Thinking Triad. The analytical dimension of critical thinking involves identifying the fundamental structures or elements of any form of thinking. Thought comprises of parts namely: purposes, questions, points of view, information, inferences, concepts, implications, and assumptions. (Paul and Elder, 2001: 50). The evaluative dimension of critical thinking comprises of universal intellectual standards that are useful in assessing the quality of thought. They include: clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logicalness, significance, and adequacy among others (Paul and Elder, 2002:98). Quotes -The conceptual framework that informs the paper is Paul and Elder’s (2002) conception of Critical Thinking. Referenced From Paul, R. 1995.

A Critical Concept of Injustice. Trichotomy Critique, Explanation, and Normativity
http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1677-2954.2014v13n1p50 A CRITICAL CONCEPT OF INJUSTICE. TRICHOTOMY CRITIQUE, EXPLANATION, AND NORMATIVITY UM CONCEITO CRÍTICO DE INJUSTIÇA. A TRICOTOMIA CRÍTICA, ESCLARECIMENTO E NORMATIVIDADE MAREK HRUBEC1 (Charles University, Czech Republic) ABSTRACT The article deals with an issue of a critical concept of injustice. It concentrates on injustice by focusing on three fundamental elements of Critical theory of society: critique, explanation, and normativity. Firstly, it clarifies the need for critical social criticism to have an internal character. Secondly, it concentrates on relations between individual elements of the above-mentioned trichotomy, and stresses the consequences of such an analysis for a Critical social theory. It shows that only an articulation of all three elements in their mutual constitutive relations will enable to work out a critical concept of in/justice. Keywords: Injustice. Justice. Critical Theory. Critique. Explanation. Normativity. A theory of justice requires a critical concept of injustice2. I will articulate such a concept from the point of view of Critical Theory of Society. I will analyze three fundamental elements of Critical Theory – critique, explanation and normativity – which can be identified already in the initial programmatic documents of the founders of Critical Theory (the Frankfurt School), and consequently mapped in texts of their followers up until today. Although these elements have been present in Critical Theory since its beginning, and their existence was an implicit precondition for Critical Theory, they have been articulated only vaguely in their complex mutual relations. This is because only some of these elements have as a rule been addressed, and because just a few of the relations between them have been discussed. -
Generic Affinities, Posthumanisms and Science-Fictional Imaginings
GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS, SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS SPECULATIVE MATTER: GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS AND SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS By LAURA M. WIEBE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Laura Wiebe, October 2012 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Speculative Matter: Generic Affinities, Posthumanisms and Science-Fictional Imaginings AUTHOR: Laura Wiebe, B.A. (University of Waterloo), M.A. (Brock University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Anne Savage NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 277 ii ABSTRACT Amidst the technoscientific ubiquity of the contemporary West (or global North), science fiction has come to seem the most current of genres, the narrative form best equipped to comment on and work through the social, political and ethical quandaries of rapid technoscientific development and the ways in which this development challenges conventional understandings of human identity and rationality. By this framing, the continuing popularity of stories about paranormal phenomena and supernatural entities – on mainstream television, or in print genres such as urban fantasy and paranormal romance – may seem to be a regressive reaction against the authority of and experience of living in technoscientific modernity. Nevertheless, the boundaries of science fiction, as with any genre, are relational rather than fixed, and critical engagements with Western/Northern technoscientific knowledge and practice and modern human identity and being may be found not just in science fiction “proper,” or in the scholarly field of science and technology studies, but also in the related genres of fantasy and paranormal romance. -
Postcolonialism
10 Postcolonialism The final hour of colonialism has struck, and millions of inhabitants of Africa, Asia, and Latin America rise to meet a new life and demand their unrestricted right to self-determination. Che Guevara, speech to the United Nations, December 11, 1964 he 1960s saw a revolutionary change in literary theory. Until this dec- Tade, New Criticism dominated literary theory and criticism, with its insistence that “the” one correct interpretation of a text could be discovered if critical readers follow the prescribed methodology asserted by the New Critics. Positing an autonomous text, New Critics paid little attention to a text’s historical context or to the feelings, beliefs, and ideas of a text’s read- ers. For New Critics, a text’s meaning is inextricably bound to ambiguity, irony, and paradox found within the structure of the text itself. By analyzing the text alone, New Critics believe that an astute critic can identify a text’s central paradox and explain how the text ultimately resolves that paradox while also supporting the text’s overarching theme. Into this seemingly self-assured system of hermeneutics marches philos- opher and literary critic Jacques Derrida along with similar-thinking scholar- critics in the late 1960s. Unlike the New Critics, Derrida, the chief spokesperson for deconstruction, disputes a text’s objective existence. Denying that a text is an autotelic artifact, he challenges the accepted definitions and assump- tions of both the reading and the writing processes. In addition, he insists on questioning what parts not only the text but also the reader and the author play in the interpretive process. -

The Body and Technology: Discourses Shaping Consumer
ASSOCIATION FOR CONSUMER RESEARCH Labovitz School of Business & Economics, University of Minnesota Duluth, 11 E. Superior Street, Suite 210, Duluth, MN 55802 The Body and Technology: Discourses Shaping Consumer Experience and Marketing Communications of Technological Products and Services Margo Buchanan-Oliver, The University of Auckland, New Zealand Angela Cruz , The University of Auckland, New Zealand Frontiers of thought in other disciplines, popular culture, and marketing communications are continually ‘re-visioning’ technology and influencing how consumers think about and experience technology-based products and services. Providing a glimpse into these frontiers, this paper re-introduces the body into theorisations of consumer-technology interaction and reviews interdisciplinary discourses shaping views of the body and technology. The key theoretical discourses of body-machine liminality, control and freedom, embodied interaction, and identity are discussed. These discourses expand conceptualisations of technology beyond a limiting focus on functional benefits, offering new frames and foundations for investigating consumer experience and marketing communications of technology-based offerings.

Discourses of Technology Consumption: Ambivalence, Fear
ASSOCIATION FOR CONSUMER RESEARCH Labovitz School of Business & Economics, University of Minnesota Duluth, 11 E. Superior Street, Suite 210, Duluth, MN 55802 Discourses of Technology Consumption: Ambivalence, Fear, and Liminality Margo Buchanan-Oliver , University of Auckland, New Zealand Angela Cruz , University of Auckland, New Zealand What makes technology frightening? To explore this question, we present the concept of liminality, within which key liminal tensions between bodies/machines, human/nonhuman, past/future, and here/not-here are articulated in interdisciplinary discourses of technology consumption. These represent fundamental tensions, ambivalences, and fears concerning technology consumption – valuable knowledge for crafting deeply resonant communications.
