Bildung, ubuntu and the problem of difference and unity? A hermeneutic and postcolonial interpretation Introduction In this article I describe the African concept ubuntu and the European concept bildung. The different interpretations and applications of these two concepts suggest possibilities for to analyze the relationship between different traditions. Bildung is a deep rooted concept which currently has different interpretations in Sweden and Europe. In the English language it does not exist as a word; however the term “liberal education” is commonly used when one is referring to bildung. An interesting comparison with ubuntu is that it has some similarities and some differences to bildung. A traditional concept is always interpreted in new ways and applied and transformed in relation to society and history. There are conflicts in the interpretation of bildung and there are different versions of the concept in use. It can be conservative and applied as an advocate for a particular a western canon, but it can also be used in a democratic, liberating way. I feel that this is also the case for ubuntu. My intention is also to give new interpretations of bildung. Today it is mostly a particular European concept. But there are interpretations which make it possible to develop it into a more universal concept, related to cultural globalization. My main concern is the relationship between difference and unity and the relation between traditions. I have my orientation in hermeneutics, which I here try to relate to the postcolonial tradition. I find here 1
a fruitful way to further investigate the relation between the particular and the universal. Background The interpretational situation I am in is late‐ or post modernity Sweden. I have my roots in Swedish popular education and have written a number of books about bildung, which is an important concept in this tradition. Bildung can be, and has been an elitist concept, relating to the division of educated and non‐ educated people in society. The intention of popular education is to make it possible for everybody to study and develop themselves both as human beings and as citizens. Or more concisely: to democratize bildung. Bildung can simply be characterized as an attempt to liberate ourselves from the limitations we are born into in terms of inheritance and environment; to strive for a wider understanding of the world and search for knowledge of how people from all cultural and social backgrounds have lived and thought. The interesting relation to investigate is the one between our identity, our home, locally and nationally and the traditions we belong to – and our situation as global citizens, or as members of something transcending the particular i.e. the universal. Bildung exists in different versions, a classical, liberal education and as a hermeneutic concept, as excursion and return. Today there are different attempts to relate this idea of bildung into the education of a world citizen (Kemp, 2005) and transcend the western tradition in relation to other traditions (Nussbaum, 1997). These attempts bring their ideas from a European tradition and hermeneutics. When I started to study the postcolonial tradition I saw wider possibilities of investigating the problem of difference and unity. The combinations of hermeneutics and postcolonial tradition is fluently used 2
(Chakrabarty, 2000), and the belief in a new form of humanism and universalism (Fanon, 1952, 1971). Knowledge and bildung The main problem in Europe and the west in realizing this possibility to educate democratic world citizens is the educational policy driven by The European Union and OECD. This policy reduces education into investment in human capital, and knowledge into a commodity subject to prevailing economic conditions. Bildung becomes here a marginalized concept, and the humanistic and democratic dimensions are diminished. (Gustavsson, 2006) One way to counter this trend is to present another understanding of knowledge, to widen the conception of knowledge and show how a rich understanding can contribute to a more democratically knowledgeable society. One way to democratize the educational system and society is to give recognition to different forms of knowledge used in different professions and fields in society. It is the same ambition as the African attempt and the initiative from the South to give recognition to indigenous or traditional knowledge (Odora Hoppers, 2002, de Sousa Santos, 2008). The word in South America is Sabiduria. In Bolivia the traditional form of knowledge in the field of medicine is today considered fully legitimate and can be an alternative to contemporary Western Medicine (Magazine, Latinamerika, 2009). When writing about knowledge with the ambition of widening the concept in the same way within a European context I use one of the roots in western tradition: the Aristotelian concept of knowledge (Gustavsson, 2000). The common understanding of knowledge in the educational system and society is the platonic concept episteme ‐ objective, scientific knowledge, in relation to doxa ‐ to hold an opinion or to mean something. In the Aristotelian tradition there are two forms of knowledge 3
added, techne and phronesis. Techne is the knowledge used in handicraft and art, a practical, productive, creative form of knowledge. Since 1980’s this form of knowledge has been recognized in Sweden as professional knowledge, the knowledge used in different professions, mostly named as tacit knowledge, or situated knowledge. Phronesis can be translated as practical wisdom, or practical judgment. It is mostly related to the social, political, or ethical fields. Phronesis can be characterized as using our judgment in order to decide upon the most appropriate action in a particular situation in which we are involved. This is built on experiences, life experience, and not immediately related to a level of education. Phronesis can be used in different ways. It can be named as the knowledge carried by the democratic citizen in relation to the scientific expert. It can be an alternative in the ethical debate, in relation to a utilitarian or Kantian form of ethics. In many ways it can be related to the concept of bildung. It is personal knowledge, from the reference point of us regarded as ethical and political beings. And it is in hermeneutics formulated as a relationship between the particular and the universal. I make my interpretation from a particular situation, and what I try to understand is something general. Bildung in a hermeneutic sense is to transcend our particular situation to the universal. To widen the understanding of bildung into a more universal concept it has to be related to other concepts from other parts of the world. Ubuntu The common description of ubuntu is in terms of communality. Communalism seems to be the most important feature of ubuntu. To be a member of a community of people is constitutional and considered to be the core of African life: 4
“Whatever happens to the individual happens to the whole group, and whatever happens to the whole group happens to the individual. The individual can only say: I am because we are; and since we are, therefore I am”. (Mbiti, 1970) Tutu explains why people after apartheid were forced to choose forgiveness and amnesty instead of revenge and nemesis. In his African view the meaning with being a human being is related to ubuntu. He says: A person with ubuntu is generous, filled with hospitality, friendly, caring and has sympathy for others. “My humanity is constituted ….. by yours”. “I am human because I feel I belong somewhere. I am a part of something I share with others. Social harmony is the summum bonum, the highest value”. To forgive is not just to be altruistic, it also to be selfish. Revenge and competition runs in conflict this idea, because if I devastate another or his or her humanity I am deprived of my own. South Africa was not the first country to experience ubuntu. After the liberation ubuntu has been tested in several African countries. Tutu is says that when ubuntu is present in a society that society is in a state of harmony and peace, but when ubuntu is absent there is violence and death, as in Rwanda and Congo where disastrous events have been taken place (Tutu, 2000) Ubuntu is a multi‐faceted and complex concept. In one way it can be considered to be the root of African philosophy. In another way it can be used in a way that is far from any connection with the understanding of being an African in the universe. “Ubuntu does not mean the same thing to Archbishop Tutu as it does to the Ubuntu armed response company”. (Higgs, 2009) There is a warning to romanticize ubuntu and see pre‐colonial African societies as embodying ubuntu. If that was the case there wouldn’t have been any conflicts. We have to accommodate the element of contesting opinions and not place 5
too much focus on the actual concept. Ubuntu is interpreted in different ways; it has been interpreted differently in the past and the present. If we realize that it is possible to use the concept for contemporary reasons, it is possible to make selected interpretations in order to find the most emancipating dimensions (Suttner, 2008)). Tutu’s interpretation of ubuntu is made from a Christian point of view. We are all equal before God. It is another perspective on the Bible than that of the Afrikaner settlers. Here, by applying the western interpretation of the bible, the colonial powers had the right to civilize the uncivilized. Tutu’s theology is related to theology for liberation and gives a new narrative to the building of the rainbow nation. This gives rise to a change from Christian hegemony to religious plurality (Paul, 2009). This powerful metaphor can be compared with Mandela’s combination of African, Indian and European traditions. In my interpretation this is a philosophy in practice which transcends the limits of being a member of just one tradition. The combination of ubuntu, Gandhi’s struggle for peace, and liberal European thought makes it possible to create unity within a differentiated society. The prisoners on Robben Island played the Greek drama Antigone and used it to depict liberation. (Mandela, 1995). By emphasizing the separation of cultures and considering them as closed units creates limitations for a possible liberation. Hegel (1807) used Antigone as a means of understanding power, and he created two potentially liberating concepts ‐ bildung and the postcolonial concept the other. Bildung in transformation Bildung is a European concept with roots dating back to classical Greek culture 400 BCE. It has become a central concept in modernity, mostly used in the neo‐ humanistic tradition to widen and develop “the hard Enlightenment”. Still a belief rooted in reason, but wider than instrumental reason to include values 6
and ethics. It is in this version we find an individualistic concept ‐ the bildung of the personality. Today the classical concept of bildung is used in many ways in the educational system, mostly as a mean to widen the understanding of knowledge and education. The classical is rooted in the humanistic tradition with the development of the personality as the aim i.e. relating knowledge to personal and human growth. Vilhelm von Humboldt used it as a tool in the development of universities into research institutions from previously being mainly career oriented institutions. Free search for knowledge had free institutions as a prerequisite, free from the market and the state. In the development it became elitist and in the school system with a strong emphasis on classical and cultural heritage, originating from the classical Greek and western traditions. Today it is expressed in the canon tradition, with great works here again with the focus on western classics. The opposition is expressed in terms of identity politics in terms of class, gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality. Expressed in Foucaudian terms it is the white, middle class, heterosexual male who holds power while marginalizing other identities. In a book of mine published in 2007 there were contributions that transformed bildung in both high tech‐cultural and postcolonial terms. Here, the humanistic subject does not exist; cyberspace and the internet stand in focus. The postcolonial interpretation of Goethe’s concept world literature is formulated in terms of different literature from different parts of the world mirroring each other(Gustavsson, 2007) Liberal education, mostly existing in English and American colleges, is today being transformed from a classical concept with great books and a core in curriculum into possibilities for studying other cultures (Nussbaum, 1997) A critical scrutiny of one’s own culture, opening for the other, and narrative imagination, is formulated in opposition to a instrumentalized educational system. In Sweden this is the main tool in the 7
ambition to enrich higher education, which lies in contrast to the stand point of the EU and OECD which allows knowledge and education to be strongly influenced by economic conditions So, what we can see is that a classical, deep rooted concept is transformed in relation to the transformation of society. Still, it can be applied to humanize and democratize a commodity based system. But humanism and democracy become something else ‐ it is not the Cartesian subject ‐ it is not mainly parliamentary democracy (Gustavsson, 2009). Looking one step further we see the formulation of a world citizen, taking the point of departure in bildung as excursion and return. The first to formulate it in terms of interpretation and understanding is Gadamer, with a quote from Hegel: “To find your own in the foreign and the foreign in your own” (Gadamer, 1985) The idea of bildung in the version I use has the same source. Phenomenology of spirit can be interpreted as a journey, an excursion and return. Humanity (limited to the west) makes an excursion from its origins in Athens 400 BCE, however becomes alienated in its relationship with bildung, and the search for its return home in the reconciliation between the individual, the civil society and the state. It has to do with alienation, how we from our own interpretations, the acquainted, open ourselves up to the unknown and foreign. In terms of experience we leave our familiar “home”, go out into the world and meet new experiences, and we come back to a new home, making new interpretations since we have encountered something new out there. This relation between the known and the unknown is a crucial question. From an ordinary hermeneutic point of view we widen our horizons when we assimilate the foreign and unknown into what is already understood. The too often misunderstood metaphor Gadamer uses for opening, to set the former 8
interpretation in play, is simply, play (Spiel). To take a step further, we have to make the already acquainted foreign to us in order to take in a new interpretation. Here lies the transformation of the hermeneutics which opens for the postcolonial horizon. It is in the space between where a new interpretation is made, in the translation, where creativity and imagination opens for new possibilities. The German and Swedish word for experience is erfahrung, erfarenhet, the root of which “fahr”/ “far” means to go out, to travel. The story of excursion and return can be multi‐faceted and rich. In western tradition we have them in the Odyssey and in the Bible. The Odyssey can today be interpreted critically, in terms of gender and in postcolonial transformations. It is a story told and retold again. The lost son in the Bible is can refer to gain understanding of oneself by initially loosing oneself. The classical story from the last century, Ulysses by James Joyce, is a story of an antihero, loosing himself during a day in Dublin in colonized Ireland. In postcolonial literature the stories are other stories, treating the problem of belonging to an unstable, ambivalent world, the enigma of the arrival, to be hybridized. This double experience adds richness to these narratives. We can find the story of excursion and return in stories from the Andes, from African legends and from India. Is it a universal way to tell the story of the human being? The other There is a common source of bildung and the other; Hegel’s The phenomenology of the spirit (1807). Hegel was totally caught up in a western tradition, for instance he counted out Africa in the development of the world spirit. But on the other hand he created the concept of the other, which serves as a theme throughout history to give voice to the oppressed. The other is 9
formulated by Hegel in terms of lordship and bondage. The context is the creation of our self‐consciousness, which is created when it is being acknowledged by another. This is the whole story of recognition. When a “self‐ consciousness is faced by another self‐consciousness; it has come out of itself. This has a two‐fold significance: first, it has lost itself, for it finds itself as another being; secondly, in doing so it has superseded the other, for it does not see the other as an essential being, but in the other sees its own self”. (Hegel, p.111) This relationship is necessary both for the lord and the bondsman, they hold each other in chains, both in struggle to death, and mediated in recognition. This idea is continued in the Marxist relationship between the capitalist and the worker, to the feminist relationship between man and woman (Beauvoir) and into the postcolonial relationship between the colonizer and the colonized (Fanon). The common solutions to the problem of oppression, emancipation or liberation, are, as we know, revolution, or eternal historical struggle. Hegel regarded the possibility of liberation as being the bondsman realizing him‐or herself in the material world, through work using physical exertion. The master is dependent on that and is for this reason more dependent on the bondsman than vice versa. Paris in the 1930’s‐ and 40’s, is said to have experienced the first postcolonial wave. Through Kojevé’s re‐interpretation of Hegel, both Beauvoir, Le deuxieme sex, and Fanon create their versions of the reason for and the liberation from oppression. This is the first time Africa is recognized from a postcolonial perspective in Europe. Here Fanon is writing his Peau Noir, masques blancs. What he is saying here is that he believes in a new form of humanism, beyond the categories put forward by colonial powers. At the same moment the colonizer sees himself as the owner of the true humanism he is denying it, because to be true it has to be for every human being. At the same 10
moment when the colonizer demands “western” universal values, he has revealed them as particular. Fanon believes in a true humanism and a new form of universalism. The way to achieve it is not to deny the other, but to recreate the inter‐subjective relations. To deny the humanness of the colonizer is to deny oneself. The means of achieving this is by using dialogue and diplomacy, the re‐codification of established values. And as Spivak later formulated “a never‐ending critique of what you cannot deny Human rights”. (Spivak, 1988). Studying other traditions There are some attempts to relate bildung to the education of a world citizen. The attempt is made by the Danish philosopher Peter Kemp. He takes this hermeneutic idea as a point of departure (Kemp, 2005, 2010). Two ideas from Paul Ricoeur are important here, mimesis and oneself as another. For Ricoeur the narrative is the main mean for us in creating our identity and the understanding of oneself as another. We understand ourselves in our attempts to understand the world, the interpretations of ourselves and the world are interrelated. One phase in our understanding is the pre‐narrated life ‐ life before we have told our stories. That is mimesis 1. The narrative we tell or read, all the narratives we have, is mimesis 2. When we listen to, or read the narratives, we make reinterpretations of our life and self‐understanding – we think and act in another way. That is mimesis 3 (Ricoeur, 1988). The main idea in educating a world citizen in this sense is to critically study ourselves and our traditions, and from that point study other traditions. The meaning is that we understand ourselves in another way when we meet what is foreign. In order to do this we need narrative imagination. Oneself as another (Ricoeur, 1992) is 11
an attempt to formulate identity in relation to the other, and build an ethics in relation to the good (the particular), and the right (the universal). The vision is a good life, with and for others, in just institutions. This is a democratic vision. It also has a democratic tendency in the view of the human being as narrating events. We are narrative creatures, creating our identities and understanding of others through narratives. A central question is whose narrative; that every human being has a life‐story to tell is self‐evident. However when it comes to literature nearly all examples in the hermeneutic traditions are derived from the western canon. Here postcolonial literature is outstanding. Here we learn about the double experiences from two worlds, or traditions and the third space ‐ the space “in between”. The third space can be the ambivalence of this “in between”, which allows room for a politics of difference (Bahba). In hermeneutic terms it is the space between the acquainted and the unacquainted, the space for imagination, creativity and opening to new perspectives. (Cavalcante‐Schuback, 2008). Let me briefly give two examples, from Africa and India respectively. Tayeb Salih Season of migration to the north, and Salman Rushdie The satanic verses. Salih’s novel is an alternative or contrasting story to Conrad’s Heart of darkness. In Chakrabarty’s terms the boat going down the river Congo is described as going back in time, into the horror and darkness. (Chakrabarty, 2000) In Salih’s novel the man is travelling from a village in Sudan, to Cairo, and from there to London. In London he becomes his own master, within education through his intellect, and with women by applying his charm and charisma. It ends in disaster as he becomes increasingly estranged from his Sudanese roots his life finally ending in despair – the reader is reminded of Kurtz final words “Horror, horror” in The Heart of Darkness. Rushdie’s novel begins with Gibreel and Saladin’s fall from a hi‐ jacked airplane and the two main characters see everything falling apart, 12
nation, home, community. Back in London they are reborn, one as an angel and one as a devil. They have lost themselves but are transformed. The common term is hybridity. Rushdie’s alternative to go back to a lost passed time is to recover everything, both in India and in England, defending the right to be a secularized Muslim in both countries. Difference and unity One of the main problems in contemporary research and discussion is the relationship between “the politics of difference”, and different attempts to unify and focus on aspects that people have in common. Most salient in the west is the discussion on democracy, where Jurgen Habermas and Antony Giddens are searching for universal forms and Chantal Mouffe oppose from a agonistic point of view (Mouffe,2005) In the postcolonial tradition Fanon believes in a re‐codification of established values and a reformulation of inter‐ subjective relationships, to reach a new form of humanism and a true universalism (Fanon, 1971). Bhabha writes about difference and considers the discourses about cultural wholeness (unity), to encourage power of one over another. The immigrants are in a situation of marginality and third space, with an identity which is characterized by instability. It is in the third space the possibility of change is found. The hybridity is created in translation and creativity where new combinations arise. In the translation of well established cultural forms into something altogether less tangible Rushdie openly provoked the fundamentalists. In the hermeneutic tradition Gadamer’s fusion of horizons is usually taken as an example of unifying thinking. This is true only if we believe that he thought it was possible, or if it is an ideal after which we strive. The problem is the relationship between the acquainted and unacquainted. A traditional 13
interpretation has been that the home is stable and safe to relate the new and foreign to. In my interpretation this takes place in the space between the acquainted and unacquainted, where the place is to imagine something foreign and create something new. This is the true dialogue Fanons was asking for, and can be related to the third space. Cultural difference is something else than diversity (kulturell mångfald). It is a changeable and equal representation of cultural difference. Third space can either be interpreted as two points which give rise to a third, or that there exists a third space, giving rise to two positions. To understand difference translation and hybridity are central. Creation of diversity can limit cultural difference, since norms values and particular interests are hidden. All cultures exist in relation to each other, creating symbols and different subjects. Meaning is created in the gap between what is different; hybridity is a border or an “in between” space in which negotiations between differences take place. Third space is a way to describe and articulate a productive room in which new possibilities can take place. This space problematizes existing borders for culture and identity. The production made here disrupts established borders. We do not really know what will come out from the third space, it is unpredictable, but opens to new interpretations both from yourself and the other. This is always critical to essential descriptions, in which the source, the original is taken for granted. (Bhabha, 1994) Exchanging contexts At the moment of liberation in the 1990’s when I had my first experience with South Africa, I could see that concepts like lifelong learning and knowledge could be used in many different ways. The intention with the concept here was to give equality to education and training, theoretical and practical knowledge. 14
From this viewpoint I fully realized the European trend which had lead to a transformation of lifelong learning from a social and democratic concept into a human capital concept. From that point my ambition was to criticize these restrictive tendencies and try to formulate humanistic and democratic alternatives, in a new way. This relationship between being critical and being creative is important. From a postcolonial perspective it is important both to deconstruct and reconstruct, in the ambition to ethically and politically achieve something better. In doing this the postcolonial insight that western modernity is the yardstick for other contexts for not being “there yet” is crucial. The critique of the European monopoly of human rights, democracy and universal values is important. In the South African‐ Swedish cooperation on democratizing education I tried to treat the problem in terms of the particular and the universal. With the particular I mean different life‐worlds, formulated in hermeneutical terms, or different identities or communities (Chakrabarty, 2000). With the universal I mean the right, in terms of human rights and criteria for justice, for instance in terms of every human beings right to develop one’s capabilities, whilst preserving respect for the integrity for different life‐worlds. The right to tell, the right to our narratives is included, the enunciative right – the right to dialogue, to create meaning, to be interpreted, to tell and be heard (Bhahba, 1994). It is in the intermediated relation; in the space between the particular and the universal we can search for a possibility to transcend the differences. Or, which is the alternative, to stay in difference, in which respect for different life‐worlds is encouraged. The problem of being a citizen in both a local, a national and a world citizen is still there. In other words, we are different parts of a common humanity, both divided and in unity. The experience of the South‐ African truth commission is an outstanding example of testing the politics of 15
difference and the right to tell, with the intention to unite a country in all its differences. According to the initiator of the commission Desmond Tutu, this could not have been possible without the African concept ubuntu. In the search for a possible transition of and a dialogue between traditions we have used ubuntu and bildung as examples. I am at home in a European concept of bildung and try to use it with the ambition to humanize and democratize the society in which I live and work. With these insights I realize that it is not possible in a globalized world to stay in just one tradition. By maintaining a critical point of view of our own tradition, we become open to other traditions. When I read about ubuntu and the use of it in an African context I can see both differences and similarities. Exactly in the same sense as is said about ubuntu, to search for the most liberating interpretations, we have to when it comes to bildung. The classical concept of bildung in the sense of Vilhelm von Humboldt is an individual concept, in the sense that the communality of ubuntu is an alternative to. But in the hermeneutic concept of bildung in Gadamer’s sense there is a concept of community, that our interpretations are communal (sensus communis). This can be used as and also receive criticism for being communitarian and creating a “tribal society” of closed entities. It is in the (third) space between the acquainted and the unacquainted, between traditions, between the particular and the universal we can search for new possibilities. References Bhahba, H. 1994.
