Only Humanities Education Will Save Us from Extinction

The purpose of this article is to show how the humanities offer a solid support to understand and face social and personal decisions as well, especially looking at Chile although, we know, these situations are not only local. Also, to provide suggestions of help, in education, through the humanities, so that future citizens escape the disastrous results of the studies of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) which indicate that a large number of Chileans (53% of adults, but 84% of the country) do not understand what they read, becoming functional illiterates, moving away from the understanding of their social, cultural and historical environment. The above reinforces the idea of a country that can be had. This situation, which has occurred systematically, for different reasons, is what has led, for decades, to a situation of abuse, on the one hand, and weariness and anger in a large part of society, on the other. This is neither new nor local; on the contrary, social discontent has been occurring in different countries for at least thirty years.

Speculating on the liberal arts: Exploring possible futures for humanities education

The article draws on concepts from speculative design to explore an alternative educational group existing outside the boundaries of an accredited university. Inspired by the imaginative approach of speculative design, I propose a small-scale reading and discussion group as a pathway to explore possible futures open to aspects of humanities education. The concept aims to reposition elements of the humanities from within the degree-granting Canadian university space to engage the wider public through a network meant to ideally foster an interconnected community of learners. This rhizomatic network would provide avenues for those without the means, access, or desire to pursue post-secondary education in the humanities to engage in questions that are relevant to their lived experience. I use an inquiry-based model of learning to explore probable, plausible, and preferable futures for liberal arts education as a way to challenge some current modes of thinking and provoke further discussion and research.

The novelty of information as one of the principles of studying the work of a Russian writer in a national audience

Humanities education, knowledge of the life of a great person, his work – all this is a true means of moral, aesthetic education of students, the formation of a comprehensive personality of a person. The issues of studying Russian literature in the national audience are relevant, as clearly evidenced by the works of A.I. Gusev, M.M. Rybnikova, V.F. Infantiev, A.A. Lipaev, A.G. Losev, K.K. Maltseva, I.H. Mayorova, N.K. Kungurov, B.A. Khodzhibaeva, L.A. Sheiman, A.V. Ryzhevolova, M. M. Abduvalieva and others. In their research, it provides scientific justification and characteristics of the proposed methods. So, as noted by the authors: it is necessary to carry out taking into account the factors that form the ethical and aesthetic traditions and artistic taste of students. In a lesson dedicated to the activities of the great writer, the teacher acquaints students with a brilliant creator, whose life is mastering the heights of human knowledge, a feat of serving the native people, an example of honesty, morality, and integrity. The novelty of the solution to the problem under consideration lies in the fact that the author has convincingly shown that information about the translations of the works of the Russian writer, in particular, I.S. Turgenev into the native language of students; translation work is a school of excellence for a national writer.

Building Digital Humanities on the Linguistic Background: Methodological Basis for Digital Humanities Education in Undergraduate and Graduate Programs

The transformation of society towards digitalization and automatization cannot be ignored by the higher education system. While this has been naturally reflected by the education system regarding technical sciences, humanities are still struggling to catch up with the latest trends in the digitalization of society. The field of Digital Humanities (DH) is very young and lacks a solid methodological basis or ontological principles. This paper aims at proposing some philosophical and methodological grounding for the field of DH and its practical applications in the higher education system. We describe two case studies of the creation of new study programs at the Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic.

Development of humanities education in the context of interdisciplinary approach and informatization

The phenomenon of globalization is directly connected to the emergence of the global Network. National and political diversity in cyberspace fades into the background. Authenticity, self-identification of a person becomes secondary. The society determines the immersion of the individual in the virtual space and its functioning in this space. The transformation and development of humanities education is determined by the processes of informatization. The development of humanities education involves the implementation of the principle of openness of humanities education to social practices and the principle of its accessibility without age and geographical location. The introduction of info-telecommunications accelerates the creation of a single information space, provides access to the information resources. The development of humanities education is aimed at implementing an interdisciplinary approach that ensures the effectiveness of the development and application of humanitarian knowledge and form a conscious responsible choice in a variety of cultural meanings, cultural self-determination. It ensures the rigor and accuracy of the methodological and technical side of humanities education.
