The idea of fragmentation has transformed the living, convivial
pursuit of knowledge into something akin to an industrial assembly
line. Schooling in North America is inherently based on this idea,
working against the spirit of pedagogy and the very nature of
knowledge itself. Fragmentation has lead to practices that are
easily recognizable in schools such as surveillance, colonization,
leveling, standardization, normalization and even oppression: the
logic of fragmentation has lead to the breaking apart of the living
disciplines of knowledge entrusted to teachers and students in the
classroom.
In this profound and challenging book, David Jardine explores some
of the historical and philosophical ancestries of the logic of
fragmentation and then lays out how the logic of fragmentation is
being interrupted by progressive contemporary thinking about the
nature of knowledge and its pursuit. Jardine uses real classroom
examples to show how inspiring teachers and students have stepped
out from the normal rigidity of the school system to pursue a
pedagogy left in peace.
