"The Aesthetic Dimensions of Educational Administration and
Leadership "provides an aesthetic critique of educational
administration and leadership. It demonstrates the importance of
aesthetics on all aspects of the administrative and leadership
world: the ways ideas and ideals are created, how their expression
is conveyed, the impact they have on interpersonal relationships
and the organizational environment that carries and reinforces
them, and the moral boundaries or limits that can be established or
exceeded.
The book is divided into three sections.
- Section I examines various philosophical traditions in aesthetics
as they inform administrative life, focussing on major modern
traditions arising from Kant, romanticism and Nietzsche,
Collingwood, the pragmatic school, and critical theory.
- Section II explores four aesthetic sources for administrative
critique - architecture, literature, film, and movement - as they
serve both to understand the social construction of administration
and leadership and provide a critique of values, roles, power and
authority.
- Section III examines more topical and applied problems of
charisma, heroism, and authority in practice, concluding with a
discussion of the aesthetic analysis of politics and power within
the context of contemporary educational administration and
leadership theory.
While presenting a significant departure from conventional studies
in the field, the international contributors reflect a continuity
of thought on the creation, use and abuse of administrative and
leadership authority from the writings of Plato through to
contemporary theory. This book should appeal to school
administrators and leaders and thoseaspiring to these roles.
