The social world is saturated with powerful formations of knowledge
that colonise individual and institutional identities. Some
knowledge emerges as legitimised and authoritative; other knowledge
is resisted or repressed. Psychosocial approaches highlight the
unstable basis of knowledge, learning and research; of knowing and
not knowing. How do we come to formulate knowledge in the ways that
we do? Are there other possible ways of knowing that are too
difficult or unsettling for us to begin to explore? Do we need the
authority of legitimised institutions and regularized methods to
build secure knowledge? What might it mean to build insecure
edifices of knowledge? How might we trouble notions of knowledge in
processes of teaching, learning and research? This collection
addresses these questions, drawing on a range of psychoanalytic and
social theory, from Bion, Freud and Lacan, to Derrida, Kristeva and
Zizek. Showcasing work from North America, Europe and Japan,
contributors explore writing as a practice that can stabilise or
unsettle subjectivities; the unconscious relations between school
practices, subjectivities, educational spaces and ideologies;
implications of the productive energies and the deadening
inwardness associated with mourning and melancholia for formal and
informal learning; and the authority we invest in apparently rigid
or ephemeral institutional spaces. Strongly empirical as well as
theoretical in approach, this collection will be of interest to
students and academics seeking ways to resist normative orders of
legitimacy and coherence in education and research. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Pedagogy, Culture &
Society.
