The Duty of Faculty is to Further the Great Patriotic Campaigns! 中国共产党普通高等学校基层组织工作条例 [ Regulations of the Communist Party of China on the Work of Primary Organizations in Regular Colleges and Universities] and the Florida Anti-Faculty Bias Legislation

A very interesting set of revisions to the 中国共产党普通高等学校基层组织工作条例 [Regulations of the Communist Party of China on the Work of Primary Organizations in Regular Colleges and Universities] originally approved in its current form in 2009 and promulgated in 2010, and now revised by the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee (26 February 2021) and promulgated by the CPC Central Committee on 16 April 2021. These were announced at roughly the same time that the Florida legislature sought to acquire the Governor's signature on faculty anti-bias and reporting legislation targeting the dissemination of knowledge at public universities in that state. The updated regulations and the proposed legislation both point to what appears to be a tendency within the two great imperial centers to better manage the university as an instrument for the training of students and the normalization of appropriate values and perspectives. More precisely, they each nicely illustrate the (politically-culturally necessity of) subjectivity of knowledge, not in the sense of facts (though there is subjectivity in the recognition of facts) but in their signification, for the affirmation and preservation of societal collectives.

 

In China that instrumentation is wielded through the appropriate organs of the vanguard party and its university cadres and reflects the social and political organization of the nation. To that end the CPC Regulations for cadres in universities becomes a key element of alignment and discipline, especially for the great patriotic and political campaigns that mark the cultural and social work of the vanguard's New Era. A central element of the regulations is the more disciplined and focused organization of CPC cadres within the university to more effectively meet the vanguard's leadership and guidance responsibilities within the university.

 

In the United States it is reflected in the contests among privatized social and cultural collectives for the control of both the political-societal narrative that is to projected into students and society in general, as well as an increased contest for the control of the political mechanisms to better align state power to the aspirations of these warring factions. To that end, elite factions with enough political power have sought to control various aspects of university operation.  The dominant faction has focused on the great anti-discrimination campaigns of the last several decades, but the opposing faction has now enough clout to begin to push back. A recent example is the measure now before the governor of the state of Florida that would  deploy the denunciation based tactics of the great anti-discrimination campaigns against what is perceived to be error in political indoctrination delivered through traditional forms of education (Florida bill would allow students to record professors to show political bias).


The full text of the revision to the 中国共产党普通高等学校基层组织工作条例 and my crude English translation, along with the Florida Faculty Anti-Bias Legislation, and brief reflections follow. 

Reflections:

1. While the impulse to recognize the importance of education as an arena of societal control is shared by vanguards in the United States and China, the quite distinctive political-economic models result in the manifestation of this instrumentalizing impulse in quite distinct ways.  Each reflects the fundamental ordering premises of the political and societal order, and each is developed to produce maximum positive efficiencies for meeting elite objectives.  

2. In China, that requires a mirroring of organizational form in which the basic structure and working style of the vanguard is replicated within every form and level of societal-political-economic-cultural organization. And it requires the alignment of that form, itself the highest expression of Leninist political theory, with the core objectives of the vanguard.  In this case the emphasis on a patriotic campaign nicely encapsulates a large universe of notions that ultimately are meant to serve the core objectives of prosperity and stability at the heart of the New Era's responsibility to meet the challenge of the current contradiction of Chinese Marxism (unequal distribution) and national integrity.  This reflects a more core notion of central management of controlled spaces for the cultivation of ideas and the dissemination of knowledge, one that replicates the structures of Markets Marxism (see, Central Planning versus Markets Marxism).

3. In the United States, that instrumentalization requires the extension of the great anti-discrimination campaigns.  But that extension itself challenges the core normative principles of anti-discrimination to the extent it cultivates a tolerance of ideas that may challenge the core normative structures of the current manifestations of anti-discrimination campaigns. That contradiction, of course, mars the battle lines among  the great factions of elites now battling for control of both the levers of political power and the narrative through which they can cultivate the "correct" way of understanding the world. In the case of the Florida legislation, that battle is fought over the way that universities are used as instruments of normative naturalization. There is no question that all sides are now embracing the core abstract tenets of the great anti-discrimination campaign that has marked the transformation of American society this generation.  But the expression of anti-discrimination is itself a highly contested arena that reflects core and unresolved factionalism among elites.

4. It follows that while the Chinese approach tends to be highly organized, bureaucratized and administrative, the American approach tends to be messy, and dispersed. Yet both have as their object the control of key elements of education delivery.  The Chinese achieve this objective through unification and management; the Americans by fracture and market places of ideas.  In both cases the dissemination of knowledge is highly supervised--but in once case the supervision is meant to promote a orthodoxy in  result, and in the other heterodoxy.

5. In both cases, the relationship of society to knowledge and its dissemination is political, and its politics is expressed administratively. Both societies hold knowledge in high regard, t be sure.  But the value (or better put its worth in context) knowledge, like other factors of social production, is determined as a function of its utility (to the political, economic, societal, or cultural spheres). Both societies more explicitly now recognize that knowledge does not exist beyond the capacity of a society to know; and that a society's capacity to know is itself a function of its faith in the norms through which it has come to understand itself and its place in the world.  Fides et Ratio "are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves" (Faith and Reason Encyclical 1998). 

6. Knowledge is thus bound by notions of truth and falsehood.  Yet both truth and falsehood are intimately tied to notions of the basis on which both may be discerned.  Knowledge in this sense is not limited to the identification of things (data, objects) but to the infusion of those things with meaning. It is in that movement from identification of an object (abstract or physical) to a knowledge of its meaning.  That is as important an element of the construction, and dissemination of knowledge in China as it is in the U.S. In both cases meaning making is tied to the normative belief system of the society. In both societies what is worth knowing, and knowledge that is worth disseminating, is limited by the way in which a society can see and understand the world. 

7. It follows that the most important element of knowledge production, and even more so for knowledge dissemination, is not knowledge itself, but rather the ability to ensure that both knowledge production and dissemination are undertaken with fidelity to the core values of a society,  is respectful (in an affirming sort of way) of its fundamental premises, and expresses those values in wthe way that knowledge is acknowledged, understood, and employed.  

8. To that end, neither China nor the US can leave knowledge production of dissemination to the care of a group of unsupervised workers.  Knowledge workers, like everyone else in a social order, serve their societies only by engaging in their labor in ways that affirm its truths, operations, ad objectives.  Knowledge laborers are in a sense social fiduciaries--tasked with the production of "correct" rather than "false" knowledge (attaching meaning to objects and developing connections among meaning rich objects) and with an affirming role in the dissemination of appropriate bits of that knowledge to  those they are charged to teach. It is in this sense that both the Chinese and the American efforts at the management of a great nexus point of societal production and dissemination of knowledge become rational expressions of the systems in whose service they are undertaken. In the process each spotlights the great differences between two quite distinct approaches to the archeology of knowledge in the service of post global empire and to the disciplining of their respective societies. 

9. there s nothing odd or sinister about this thrust. As I have intimated above the self constitution of a society is in large part preserved by the ability of its administrative apparatus t discipline its members into a specific way of approaching the world around them, and of transforming facts through belief into systems of knowledge that affirms both the solidity of facts and the truth of belief. The very processes of banal mechanisms like academic peer review (and its so called quality standards) provide a useful example of the form. Knowledge must affirm what is known and those who know it; knowledge must acknowledge the power of the structures of beliefs within which it may be allowed expression.  To label this bad or good is itself to make a judgment based on the need to assure both the legitimacy of the view one holds and to ensure that expressions of meaning (and assessments) is aligned with such beliefs.  But that is to say little more than that all knowledge is human, all too human, and that human communities will construct their realities as systems of self affirmation.

It is because we have for thousands of years looked into the world with moral, aesthetic, religious predispositions, with blind prejudice, passion or fear, and surfeited ourselves with indulgence in the follies of illogical thought, that the world has gradually become so wondrously motley, frightful, significant, soulful: it has taken on tints, but we have been the colorists: the human intellect, upon the foundation of human needs, of human passions, has reared all these "phenomena" and injected its own erroneous fundamental conceptions into things.
