Moulthrop questions
“How should education respond to the challenges of an increasingly mediated world?”
“How can it enable young people to become active, and critical participants”
‘Universal Without Totality’
Universiality – discourses or methods available to all.Totality – claims to the absolute truth.
Postmoderism discarded both.
Levy 2001, states that Universal must be rescuedWhich is the practice and know how.
“The Lottery of Babylon”Borges, 1941
The concept of general literacy of pathwork,universal but not total, could significantly advanceunderstanding and practice. (Moulthrop, 2005).
Hypertext as a form of literacy, others have been preparing the ground For along time.
