Revolutionary Pedagogies: Cultural Politics, Instituting Education, And The Discourse Of Theory Ebrary

An innovative edited collection of essays from the cream of the cultural and policy studies crop, examines the theory/practice debate as it has been articulated pedagogically. These essays respond to the need to renegotiate the premise for an ethico-political intervention into the scene of teaching and learning. The contributors, major theorists and distinguished thinkers, seek to answer the question of whether a revolutionary pedagogy is possible as a means of transforming the cultural history of educational practice. They examine this question across disciplines in the areas of deconstruction, postcolonial and cultural studies, feminism, critical pedagogy, psychoanalysis and educational and curricular theory Book Cover......Page 1 Title......Page 4 Contents......Page 5 Acknowledgments......Page 10 Introduction......Page 12 Diasporas Old and New: Women in the Transnational World......Page 26 Strange Fruit: Race, Sex, and an Autobiographics of Alterity......Page 53 All-Consuming Identities: Race and the Pedagogy of Resentment in the Age of Difference......Page 70 The Touch of the Past: The Pedagogical Significance of a Transactional Sphere of Public Memory......Page 84 Where a Teaching Body Begins and How It Ends......Page 106 Technologies of Reason: Toward a Regrounding of Academic Responsibility......Page 136 Unthinking Whiteness: Rearticulating Diasporic Practice......Page 163 Postmodern Education and Disposable Youth......Page 197 Multiple Literacies and Critical Pedagogies: New Paradigms......Page 219 The Shock of the Real: Critical Pedagogies and Rightist Reconstructions......Page 248 The Limits of Dialogue as a Critical Pedagogy......Page 274 The Social Sciences as Information Technology: A Political Economy of Practice......Page 297 Responsible Practices of Academic Writing: Troubling Clarity II......Page 312 Degrees of Freedom and Deliberations of ~Self~: The Gendering of Identity in Teaching......Page 335 Permissions......Page 376 Contributors......Page 378 Index......Page 382 Diasporas old and new: women in the transnational world / Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak Strange fruit: race, sex, and an autobiographics of alterity / William F.
