Teachers in Nomadic Spaces: Deleuze and Curriculum
ISBN: 9780820467375 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Teachers in Nomadic Spaces is fieldwork in curriculum theory, weaving vital strands of Gilles Deleuze s constructivist philosophy into a case study of teacher induction and becoming in an urban innovative school. Releasing the productive power of difference, it allows us to see the pedagogical potential of irregular (nomadic) spaces and thereby to obtain release from the Platonic pincer-hold of curriculum as recovery and representation. This book offers a conceptual mode for recomposing ourselves into new expressions in education by means of semiotic and affective experimentation, and...

Happiness, Hope, and Despair: Rethinking the Role of Education
ISBN: 9781433120985 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

Education can be uncomfortable, unpredictable, and unsettling; it can lead to greater uncertainty and unhappiness. Drawing on the work of Soren Kierkegaard, Miguel de Unamuno, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Simone Weil, Paulo Freire, and others, Peter Roberts shows why these features of...

The book goes on to discuss the processes that might be set in motion to bring these attachments into question in such a way that...
