A Poetics of Education (eBook, PDF)

Edupoetics and Pathways Towards New Educational Collectivities

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

At a time when education is routinely - and problematically - translated into the discourse of learning and teaching to serve a series of instrumental imperatives, the question of what we mean by education is raised with renewed urgency. This book looks beyond present horizons to imagine education anew. It considers ways of theorising education that acknowledge the complexity of its genealogy, empirical practice, and imbrication within regimes of governance, in the light of education's orientation to both the already actualised and the new and unprecedented. A specifically educational milieu is characterised by the kinds of existential movements and negotiations to which this gives rise, together with a language and grammar for their articulation, that points to their urgency and significance.

A poetics of education - an edupoetics - is thus a considered response to this exigency.Through engaging a variety of felicitous tropes - that include the sea and its navigation (Serres), opacity (Glissant), desire (¿A¿¿ar), precarity (Butler), gift (Manning), and chiasma (Merleau-Ponty), it becomes possible to articulate an educational image of thinking that, in welcoming the new and unforeseen, promotes a radical hospitality to difference.

The chapters engage a variety of writers to explore how an edupoetics might intersect with a series of specific educational scenes and concerns that include, for example, the qualities of 'good' research that opens to the other-than-human, the complexities of doctoral supervision, the pedagogics of gender, and the gift of neurodiversity. This book articulates an alternative educational imaginary - an edupoetics - that gestures towards collectivities gathered around matters of intense concern. It will be relevant to scholars in the humanities and social sciences interested in educational theory and the philosophy of education.
