Pedagogy and Power is a volume of interdisciplinary essays which
explores the political dimensions of Graeco-Roman education and of
its subsequent models. Seeking to make the various structures and
discourses of intellectual authority more apparent, the essays
argue that there is a social context for the knowledge imparted by
classical models of pedagogy. They examine how such pedagogues
instruct their pupils to function as citizens who rule or are
ruled, privileging certain knowledge over others, and including
some individuals while excluding others. Overall the book shows
that the complex and plural authorities and power that have been
associated with classical learning and knowledge are not part of a
legacy to be unproblematically inherited or reproduced.
