Description
Summary:博士 === 國立政治大學 === 教育學系 === 104 === Living in the high-tech era, human and technology have been closely intertwined. Emerging Technologies not only gradually change people’s way of life, but also unconsciously influence educational practice. Facing this condition of overdependence on science and technology, the author is curious to ask: will high-tech application make education better? Or worse? This dissertation takes Walter Benjamin’s aesthetics in age of mechanical reproduction as starting point, the author analyses Benjamin’s Messianic redemption aesthetics for replying the crisis which is caused by capitalism and the culture industry, and attempting to seek ”Aura” which is disappeared with the death of tradition. Under post-human context of humanity and science entanglements, this study suggests education can apply Benjamin’s aesthetics of "negativity" and "constellation of thinking" to unfold pluralistic educational horizons, and also can pay attention to "di-standardizing of educational practice "," cultivating humanities "," integrating digital technology as a instructional supplementary tool", " encouraging creativity and cultural development "and "cooperating for sharing common prosperity ", the author anticipates to lead and reshape new “Aura” for the age of digital reproduction.
