'Attack Me!': How University can develop Critical Knowledge in the Age of "Wikipedia"

Although this is only tentative plan, my presentation will include the following elements.
1. Crisis of Japanese universities and critical knowledge under the condition of neo-liberarism after 90s
2. 'Grass-roots' knowledge production within Web: Wikipedia an other net-base knowledge system
3. Experiments of 'Attack Me' seminar and other projects in our Graduate School in Tokyo University 
4. How can the critical approach deal with the historical materials through the meta-digital archives ?
5. How can we imagine encyclopaedic (cycle+ pedagogy) network of cultural studies education in Inter-Asia ?
