Regulatory Discourses in Education (eBook, PDF)

A Lacanian perspective

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book employs Lacanian psychoanalysis to develop new ways of understanding educational domains. It analyses events, practices and policies that occur in school classrooms, teacher education and higher-degree studies including educational research. It provides an accessible introduction, description and analysis of those aspects of Lacan's work concerned with language, identity and subjectivity directly relevant to the field of education.
Regulative discourses and practices in education are a central concern and the authors demonstrate how Lacanian theory empowers our understanding of how such discourses are instrumental in forming teacher and researcher identities. The book also shows how regulatory practices and discourses are relevant to research methodologies that arise in the field of action research in education.

Rezensionen

«I found the book a page-turner and recommended it immediately to colleagues and students.» (Elizabeth St. Pierre, British Educational Research Journal)
«... this book provides an excellent introduction to some potential uses of Lacanian psychoanalytic theory - particularly in relation to theoretical explorations of teachers' relationships to their own senses of professionalism, policy discourses and practitioner research. Anyone with an interest in these areas will find the book thought provoking and an excellent basis for reflection, discussion and analysis.» (Tamara Bibby, ESCalate)
