"Interpretive Pedagogies for Higher Education "focuses on providing
a humanistic perspective on pedagogy by relating it to the
interpretive practices of particular public educators: thinkers and
writers whose work has had an immeasurable impact on how we
understand and interpret the world and how our understandings and
interpretations act on that world.
Jon Nixon focuses on the work of four public intellectuals each of
whom reaches out to a wide public readership and develops our
understanding regarding the nature of interpretation in the
everyday world: Hannah Arendt's work on 'representative thinking',
John Berger's injunction to 'hold everything dear', Edward Said's
notion of 'democratic criticism', and Martha Nussbaum's studies in
the intelligence of feeling. These thinkers provide valuable
perspectives on the nature and purpose of interpretation in
everyday life. The implications of these perspectives for the
development of a transformative pedagogy - and for the renewal of
an educated public - are examined in relation to the current
contexts of higher education within a knowledge society.
