In contemporary pedagogy, "class" has become one nomadic sign
among others: it has no referent but only contingent allusions to
similarly traveling signs. Class, that is, no longer explains
social conflicts and antagonisms rooted in social divisions of
labor, but instead portrays a cultural carnival of lifestyles,
consumptions, tastes, prestige and desire, or obscures social
conflicts through technicist accounts of incomes and jobs.
Class in Education brings back class as a materialist analysis
of social inequalities originating at the point of production and
reproduced in all cultural practices. Addressing a wide range of
issues ? from the interpretive logic of the new humanities to
racism to reading, school-level curricula to educational policy ?
the contributors focus on the effects that the different
understandings of class have on various sites of pedagogy and open
up new spaces for a materialist pedagogy and critical education in
the times of globalization and the regimes of the digital.
