There has been a remarkable growth of interest in the assessment of student learning and its relation to learning processes in higher education over the past ten years. Much of the work has sought to explicate the relationship between assessment and learning, and to provide academics with examples of assessment practices that have been considered as successful in promoting learning as well as judging students’ achievements. Other work has provided descriptions and frameworks for assessing what have come to be termed ‘learning outcomes’. It is now timely to take stock of some of the criti

The rise of literary theory spawned the rise of anti-aestheticism, so that even for cultural theorists, discussions concerning aesthetics were often carried out in a critical shorthand that failed to engage with the particularity of the work of art, much less the specificities of aesthetic experience. This book introduces the notion of a new aestheticism--"new" insofar as it identifies a turn taken by a number of important contemporary thinkers towards the idea that focussing on the specifically aesthetic impact of a work of art or literature has the potential to open radically different ways

This book asks what it is to be human as we enter into the millennium. Specters, cyborgs, clones, and aliens-contemporary representations of the inhuman hybrid-seem more various, multiform, and pressing than ever. Increasingly, the blurred distinction between human and inhuman and the attendant technization of social life raises a series of opportunities for cultural analysis. In the process of mapping a cultural genealogy that stretches from Romanticism to Neuromancer, this volume examines the impact of science and technology on culture and representation-past, present and future-and resituat
