By extending and elaborating Lacan's theory, Brennan develops a general theory of modernity. Contrary to postmodern assumptions, she argues, we need general historical explanation. An understanding of historical dynamics is essential if we are to make the... Lacan was not an ahistorical post-structuralist.

Secondary Education in England 1870-1902: Public Activity and Private Enterprise
ISBN: 9780415035729 / Angielski / Twarda / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This history of secondary education argues for a reassessment of the relative importance of state regulation and private provision. Although the public schools enjoyed their greatest prestige during this period, in terms of educational reform and progress their importance has been exaggerated. The role of the public school, the author suggests, was social rather than academic, and as such its power and influence is to be interpreted principally in relation to the growth of new social elites, the concept of public service and the needs of the empire for a bureaucratic ruling class.
