Pedagogy of Life takes its readers through the echoing stories of
the half-century, historical Cultural Revolution of China to the
literate lifeworld today. Rosa Hong Chen offers a gripping array of
personal and kindred stories woven into the power of words and
empathy of art through the volutes of writing and dancing for life,
expressing genera of warm melancholy, weighty sensations,
compulsive sobs, and refrained elation. It is for the existential
history of individual lives and communal sharing that life creates
a pedagogical condition of possible experiences. Life itself forms
a historical and social path of human growth and maturation. In a
philosophical and educational autoethnographical inquiry, the
author examines the nature of literacy for those marginalized and
oppressed; Chen explores how one's name and the ways in which that
name is used affect a person's self-knowing and knowing of the
world. This book exemplifies the idea that individuals'
autobiographical stories are importantly connected to wider
cultural, political, and social meaning and understanding. Pedagogy
of Life echoes readers' musings, affects, relations, imagination,
choice, learning, teaching, and much more, because we, each and
all, have our own names, ways of uttering, writing, and dancing,
and, ultimately, our own ways of living, knowing, and becoming.
