ABSTRACT

'Global citizenship’ entered public parlance prominently during heightened globalisation. To be a citizen of this new globalised, interconnected world was to be a subject of capital. Like Janus, a subject of this neoliberal world order was to be both an inwardly-gazing subject of the nation state, and simultaneously an outwardly-gazing subject of global capital. ‘Global citizenship’ (GC) carries the inherent contradiction of Janus, being a juridical contradiction. It looks both inwards and outwards and carries borders as shadows. Viewing contradiction at the heart of GC as a ‘productive tension’, rather than ‘flaw’, by way of entry into Global Citizenship Education (GCE), and by implication Learning for Sustainability (LfS), may offer the necessary vector in prizing open new windows to hopeful, alternative futures. The difficult task of doing so should not be sidestepped in the shift from GCE to LfS. Recognition of the various ‘distancing strategies’ deployed within these discourses is critical in overcoming their overdetermination as instruments of state social, national and economic ambitions. The implications for education and our socio-ecological futures of the embrace of contradiction at the heart of GC needs critical attention toward the imperative of mobilising Critical GCE (CGCE) to enact possibilities of radically hopeful futures.

全球公民教育/可持续发展学习:紧张、“缺陷”和矛盾是替代未来教育的可能性和激进希望的关键时刻

摘要

在全球化加剧期间,“全球公民”占据了显着的公共用语。要成为这个全球化、互联的新世界的公民,就必须成为资本的主体。与 Janus 一样,这种新自由主义世界秩序的主体既是民族国家的内向主体,同时又是全球资本的外向主体。“全球公民”(GC)承载着 Janus 的内在矛盾,是一种法律矛盾。它既向内又向外看,并带有阴影的边界。通过进入全球公民教育 (GCE) 并暗示可持续发展学习 (LfS),将 GC 核心的矛盾视为一种“生产性张力”,而不是“缺陷”,这可能会提供必要的载体来推动开放通往充满希望的另类未来的新窗口。从 GCE 到 LfS 的转变不应回避这样做的艰巨任务。承认这些话语中部署的各种“疏远战略”对于克服它们作为国家社会、国家和经济雄心的工具的过度决定至关重要。GC 核心矛盾对教育和我们的社会生态未来的影响需要对动员关键 GCE (CGCE) 以实现充满希望的未来的必要性给予批判性关注。
