The 1980s were an important decade for educational inquiry. It was
the moment of the "linguistic turn," with its emphasis on the role
of language as a constructor of reality, a structuring agent for
institutions such as schools, and a medium for translating
knowledge into elements of power for processes of social
regulation. Drawing on the work and insights of educational
researcher Thomas S. Popkewitz, this book shows how the linguistic
turn provided an alternative to both mainline educational research
grounded in the ideals of political liberalism and the effort of
neo-Marxists to challenge liberal thinking in favor of a
scholarship based on class conflict and economic determinism.
