This collection discusses and illustrates how educational research
is affected by the economic, institutional and physical
contingencies of its time, and in our time even increasingly is
driven by them. It is argued that the antidote to this is, however,
not to aspire to ‘thought itself’, but instead to do justice to
its own rootedness in the ‘material’, including textuality.
From an historical point of view such an innovative approach can
itself revamp the material scholarly culture and the way it is
represented. The chapters address a variety of topics such as the
cultural heritage of the school desk, the significance of images
for research into long-term educational processes, the way iconic
signs function, and how modes of enquiry relate to the materiality
of education. Attention is also given to standards for reporting on
educational research studies and how these limit the scope and
communication and moreover shape researchers, to the forms of
citation practices as substantially influencing methods and
content, and to the centrality of conversation not just as the
means to an end but as what matters; further to representational
and to non-representational theories for educational research. Some
examples are drawn from the area of arts-based educational
research, from mathematics education, and from the discourse on
universities.
