Subject: Re: Bologna statistics needed
Dear Oguzhan and All,
If I understood the earlier request, it has to do with the all
master's and doctoral programs in the entire Bologna region.
The CUMULUS survey covers only schools in one organization.
Does the original question deal with all master's and doctoral
students in nations that participate Bologna, or does it only deal
with master's and doctoral students in design schools?
The European Higher Education area comprises 45 nations and many
thousands of universities, but so far, I have not been able to find a
source for aggregated statistics. I am able to make a few rough
comparisons by cobbling different sources together, there are roughly
41,000 doctorates of all kinds awarded every year in the US. (It used
to be more, but the Bush regime has made it more difficult and less
attractive for foreign students to do their doctoral work in the US.)
In the UK, there are roughly 15,000 doctorates of different kinds
awarded every year. There are roughly 6,000 doctorates awarded every
year in the five Nordic nations. Roughly 11,000 doctoral students
graduate every year in France, 4,000 in Italy, 24,000 in Germany.
I can't find anything on master's degrees.
If anyone has a good aggregated source, I'll welcome it. But I'd
welcome a clarification on the original question. Does this question
concern only art and design schools, such as schools in the Cumulus
network, or does it apply to all universities and university colleges
in the 45 Bologna process nations?

Ken

Of course, all universities... I send the data to give an idea the figure of
master and PhD graduation. There is no specific data in design in general.
If someone can provide this, it could be nice.
But my main questions was
Concerning Bologna Process

course)
expect in master and PhD level before submission of thesis
> - and finally what is the quality level of the publication? (do you expect
> the article published in the journal indexed by Art and Humanities
Citation

such

Thanks for clarification

Subject: US and UK engineering degree statistics
Dear Terry,
My earlier note used rough figures for all doctorates of all kinds. I
did not aggregate them by hand from specific subject fields, so I
can't give you breakdowns. This was quick and dirty job for a list
response, so I did not document the sources. Doing this properly is
about a week's worth of work -- I have had a librarian at work for
several days simply trying to find aggregate sources for European
doctorates, as well as queries to the national ministry of education.
No one seems to know.
Since I did not need specific fields, I did not use these two source
for science and engineering doctorates, but you might find what you
need.
For the US:

For the UK:

Subject: MP Rajan and Teena Clerke: Design and psychoanalysis
Dear Ken,MP Rajan and Teena Clerke,
a.. To Ken Friedman: Thank you for your article and references of Rittel and
Rittel which I have " already" received- I misunderstood your proposition:
I thought you were proposing to send the articles. Sorry
b.. To MP Rajan and Teena Clerke:
MP Rajan wrote:"Thank you for your comment. If you have any digital file of
Jacques Lacan's ideas that you have mentioned below I would be very happy to
obtain them."
I have tried to send an attached copy of Lacan's chapter on the gaze as it
is developed in ,The Four Fundamental Principles of Psychoanalysis, But it
has been refused because it is in jepg image.
However; following your interest in -I quote:
"For me design opportunity is not visible to anyone but the designer since
it is a product of
a "Perception" and an "Imagination" which is internal to
the designer and therefore not visible to any other partner
until it is expressed in some external model or expression,verbal, visual or
dimensional."
and relating to what is "not visible" and what you have referred to as
"internal to the designer", I would like to suggest the following sentences:
1/"psychoanalysis regards consciousness as irremediably limited and
institutes it as a principle, not only of idealization but of meconnaissance*"[p:82]
- an interesting sentence because it allows us to refers to knowledge not
only in terms of clear conscious information but, also in terms of
non/un-conscious information which leads to what Lacan refers to as "un-conscious" and to
the question of the impact of the un-conscious on designers and on their work
of design,in the field of design.
*in French= 1. no knowledge, 2. bad knowledge
2/"recenter[ing] the subject as speaking in the very lacunae..."[p:83],an
other interesting sentence which, translated to the field of design, indicates
that designers-subjects can speak/work/design with/in/following their
unconscious.
3/"the gaze is the underside of the consciousness".[p:83] It is "the
relation of the subject.."[p91]", "in the matter of the visible..."[p93] with "that
which grasps [the subject]"...and "makes the landscape other than a
landscape"[p:96] more interesting sentences which show that a designer can "make a
landscape other than a landscape" when s/he is "grasped" by "the underside of
the consciousness"
It is in this context that Lacan refers to the object which "grasps" the
subject-designer as "object a".
In the field of design, I find "object a" an interesting concept.
It helps understand why some designers "make a landscape other than a
landscape".
a.. Teena- thank you very much for your greetings.
My regards, and thank you for the opportunity you gave me to link the field
of design and the act of designing to lacanian psychoanalysis.
