In most Western developed countries, adult life is increasingly
organized on the basis of short-term work contracts and reduced
social security funds. In this context it seems that producing
efficient job-seekers and employees becomes the main aim of
educational programs for the next generation. Through case studies
of young people from urban and countryside marginalized populations
in Germany, USA and Brazil, this book investigates emerging
educational practices and takes a critical stance towards what can
be seen as neoliberal educational politics. It investigates how
mediating devices such as CVs, school reports, school files, photos
and narratives shape the ways in which those marginalized students
reflect about their past as well as imagine their future. By
building on process philosophy and time theory, post-structuralism,
as well as on Vygotsky's psychological theory, the analysis
differentiates between two discrete modes of human development:
development of concrete skills (potential development) and
development of new societal relations (virtual development, which
is at the same time individual and collective). The book outlines
an innovative relational account of learning and human development
which can prove of particular importance for the education of
marginalized students in today's globalized world.
