What is the role of politics in the classroom? How does the desire
of the teacher shape the pedagogical process? Is teaching possible?
Is learning possible? Pedagogy as Encounter engages with such
larger issues. The majority of discussions, workshops, conference
panels, articles, and books avoid meta-pedagogical issues by
focusing on technique. Such "technique talk" examines schemes,
methods, and procedures that do and do not work in the classroom.
It answers the "how" question at the cost of ignoring these bigger
queries. Pedagogy as Encounter consists of 120 vignettes arranged
in eight chapters. Most of these are first person autobiographical
stories that describe encounters with students and colleagues. They
portray a teacher whose classroom disappointments lead him to
radical experimentation. But there are also a few theoretical
sections, as well as segments that are epigrammatic in nature. All
of it is grounded in a Lacanian political psychology and in a
critical global political economy. The theory, however, remains
largely implicit and is confined to the footnotes. The body of the
text is free of jargon and presented in a conversational voice.
