Between the Masks articulates a study of representation and the
'politics of place' through a pedagogy of narrative-performing
inquiry and a critical reflection on identity. As a resistance to
essentialist politics, the text focuses on the identity
making/marking role of cultural materials in the recovery of
different and overdetermind histories. It proposes a multicultural
revision of knowledge that displaces the binarisms of
insider/outside rather than simply shifting the margin to the
center. By combining perspectives that produce strong readings with
a semiotic method of analysis, the essentialist representations of
racial, ethnic, sexual, and class biases will be revealed as
strategies of power that employ appearance in their seduction. By
this method, Brunner suggests a view of reflexive performance that
seeks not to legitimate, but to critique, displace, and liberate
these illusions of identity. Between the Masks promotes critical
teaching that can bring together the literary, the historic, the
theoretical, and the sociological. Brunner suggests the combined
study of cultural studies and education as a theoretical and
pedagogical site which embraces curriculum theory, teacher
preparation, and policy. This book marks a move toward
intertextual, interdisciplinary study which will help educators
modulate the complicated conversations and contexts of todayOs
schools.
