Education at the Edge of Experience (eBook, ePUB)

Navigating the Unassimilable

Beschreibung

Presenting a unique exploration of education at "the edge of experience," this book investigates how unassimilable concepts can reconceptualize education in order to grapple with what is beyond understanding. Working at the intersection of curriculum theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis, Morris examines how each of these "unassimilable" concepts such as lament, disavowal, breathlessness, and the Kafkaesque point toward currere as the edge of experience. It addresses what Lee Braver calls "the groundless grounds" and what Avital Ronell calls "the quicksand that is philosophy" to approach slippage and breaking points through an interdisciplinary lens. Pointing to an understanding of our largely social ills and extending William F. Pinar's early work on currere in new and innovative directions, this book will appeal to curriculum theorists, education philosophers, psychoanalysts, and those with interests in the philosophy and theory of education.

Rezensionen

"With remarkable acuity Marla Morris lucidly navigates the contours of the concept and practice Currere at 'the Edge of Experience' in a series of readings that are always instructive and insightful. An impressive thematic exposition and a useful guide for the perplexed who only see a kind of educational instrumentalism governed by test scores and PISA rankings. Heartily recommended."

Michael A Peters, Distinguished Professor of Education, Beijing Normal University, P.R. China.

"Faced with the uncanny threshold of death, the erotic force driving intellect, and the limits of a language that strains toward poetry as it tries to say the unsayable, Marla Morris draws on a stunning range of sources to lead us toward currere as a living practice that refuses to conform to the metrics of the modern corporate university."

Raymond Barfield, writer and Physician, USA.

"Morris displays an agility of mind and fluidity of critique...that is both inspiring and breathtaking in its erudition and scope. Education at the Edge of Experience: Navigating the Unassimilable is a signpost for the future of educational theory and philosophy and essential reading for anyone doing serious work in the field of curriculum and pedagogy."

Peter Pericles Trifonas, Professor, Ontario Institute of Education, University of Toronto, Canada.
