| dc.description.abstract | Finland and Portugal are both peripheral European countries, at the fringes of the European Union. This paper sets out to discuss and compare some of the ways Portuguese and Finnish citizens are construed through present–day media literacy, be these distinctions historical and geographical, cultural, technological, educational or even ethical by character. The idea of education (“Bildung”) as a stronghold of civilization used to lean on the concept of a nation-state that is constituted by the citizens of this nation–state. But nowadays citizens are being overruled by the technological changes and contemporary university students, then, may be seen as representing a positive paradigm shift from citizens of a specific nation–state to cosmopolites of a global civilization. The processes of construing and producing knowledge have been radically transformed by the information technologies: the open access approach makes it possible to shift the traditional classroom learning almost entirely to on line work. “In five years, the best lectures will be found on the internet free of charge, lectures that are better than in any universities”, predicted Bill Gates some time ago in Techonomy Conference. Future citizens need to solve complex, ill-defined problems and learning becomes increasingly a combination of face-to-face instruction with computer-mediated learning environments. But when some of the traditional values and practices of pursuing knowledge are nowadays rapidly being discarded, they are often being replaced by market–state doctrines of education and of humanity, thus producing identities of entrepreneurship, often unwilling to participate in enhancing general social welfare. | pt_PT |
