This is the first book to explore how graphocentrism - prioritising writing over speech and eyes over ears - affects Chinese education and culture. Contemporary educational practices in China often follow the dominant Western model of phonocentrism, but Ruyu Hung demonstrates that each perspective interacts and counteracts with each other, creating a dialogue between Eastern and Western thought. Chapters explore the consonances and dissonances between the two, problematizing the educational practices of Chinese tradition and proposing a dialectical thinking of post-graphocentrism, based on...

Learning in Morocco offers a rare look inside public education in the Middle East.

Based on long-term research inside and outside classrooms, Charis Boutieri describes how...
