The Problematic Relation between University as a Topos and World-Epoch of Virtuality as a New-Arising all-encompassing Topos
Journal Title: socio-spatial studies - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
In this article I have tried to conceptualize some problematic issues regarding the status of university in what I have named ‘world-epoch of virtuality’. In my view, world-epoch of virtuality has changed the meanings and functions of the concepts of time and space as well as the concepts of knowledge, science and education which traditionally dealt with in/and through university. So, it seems that the idea and functions of university are being changed. The concept of ‘topos’ is central to my account, because it encapsulates all the meanings related to time, space and knowledge.
