| Abstract | Signs or signifiers, composing what Lacan in 1968 called the "symbolic order," provide a means for making sense of the world and form a network enabling the human mind to form concepts. The signifier "literacy," for example, is often taken to refer to a fixed, isolatable concept, but this term would not be intelligible were it not for its relationship to other terms such as "language" and "education." Literacy, liberal education, higher learning, and similar terms should not be conceived as single or fixed ideas and should not be dissociated from the conversation of both scholars and ordinary people. There is a danger in permitting someone else to fix references for terms like "liberal learning,""higher learning," or "cultural literacy." If the dialogue concerning these terms is open, broader literacy--the kind required for speech and action--can be gained. (SRT) |
