To understand contemporary times, we must appreciate the extent to
which our lives are affected by the cultural and political struggle
between "official" narratives and the counternarratives which
emerge as oppositional responses. "Counternarratives" develops a
concept of "postmodern counternarratives" as a frame for exploring
the politics of media, technology and education within everyday
struggles for human identities and loyalties.
The authors identify two forms of counternarratives. One functions
as a critique of the modernist propensity for grand narratives. The
second concept, which is the focus of the book, builds on the
first; the idea of "little stories" addressing cultural and
political opposition to the "official" narratives used to
manipulate public consciousness.
Successive chapters explore a diverse range of "little stories."
Each marks an important point of contestation within contemporary
education and culture: curriculum, pedagogy, literacy, media
representations and applications of new technologies. Specific case
studies look at the potential for cultural studies as a tool for
teachers to confront the official narrative of classroom education;
the "slacker" subculture as a response to official accounts of what
youth should be; media accounts of the Gulf War; Paulo Freire's
counternarrative of pedagogy and education and the role of the
university within contemporary metropolitan and post-colonial
cultures; and the possibilities for critical pedagogy in
cyberspace.
