The aim of this paper is the exploration of Kegan’s constructive-developmental theory through the analysis of the behavior of an agent within Wenders’s film Alice in the Cities, which is used as a case study. In the first part, we will approach Kegan’s ideas regarding the evolution of human beings’ consciousness as they move through five progressively more complex orders of consciousness. We will also approach the connections of Kegan’s perspective to Mezirow’s Transformation Theory. Then, we will draw insights from the film in order to expand the exploration of some crucial issues of Kegan’s theory, such as: How is a person’s consciousness developed? Are there signs, when a person is situated in a certain order of consciousness, that he/she has the potential to move toward a next one? Which might be the adult educator’s role in assisting the learners’ evolutionary process? Finally, in the last section, some limitations of Kegan’s perspective will be critically discussed.

转变的过程:温德斯在电影镜头中看到凯根的观点

本文的目的是通过分析温德斯电影《城市中的爱丽丝》中的特工行为,探索克干的建设性发展理论,并将其作为案例研究。在第一部分中,我们将探讨Kegan关于人类意识进化的思想,因为它们经历了五个逐渐复杂的意识层次。我们还将探讨Kegan的观点与Mezirow的“转化理论”的联系。然后,我们将从电影中汲取见解,以扩大对Kegan理论的一些关键问题的探索,例如:人的意识是如何发展的?当一个人处于某种意识顺序中时,有没有迹象表明,他/她有可能走向下一个?成人教育者在协助学习者进化过程中的作用可能是什么?最后,在最后一部分中,将对Kegan观点的一些局限性进行严格讨论。
