Art as Unlearning makes an argument for art's unlearning as a
manneristpedagogy. Art's pedagogy facilitates a form of
forgetfulness by extending what happens in the practice of the arts
in their visual, auditory and performative forms. The concept of
learning has become predominantly hijacked by foundational
paradigms such as developmental narratives whose positivistic
approach has limited the field of education to a narrow practice
within the social sciences. This book moves away from these
strictures by showing how the arts confirm that unlearning is not
contingent on learning, but rather anticipates and avoids it. This
book cites the experience and work of artists who, by unlearning
the canon, have opened a diversity of possibilities by which we
make and live the world. Moving beyond cliches of art's
teachability and what we have to learn through the arts, it
advances a scenario where unlearning is uniquely presented to us by
the diverse practices that we identify with the arts. The very
notion of art as unlearning stems from and represents a fundamental
critique of the constructivist pedagogies that have dominated arts
education for over half a century. This book will be of great
interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the
fields of education, philosophy of education, history of education,
pedagogy of art and art education. It will also appeal to
educators, art educators, and artists interested in the pedagogy of
art.
