This edited book explores the under-analyzed significance and
function of paranoia as a psychological habitus of the contemporary
educational and social moment. The editors and contributors argue
that the desire for epistemological truth beyond uncertainty
characteristic of paranoia continues to profoundly shape the
aesthetic texture and imaginaries of educational thought and
practice. Attending to the psychoanalytic, post-psychoanalytic, and
critical significance of paranoia as a mode of engaging with the
world, this book further inquires into the ways in which paranoia
functions to shape the social order and the material desire of
subjects operating within it. Furthermore, the book aims to
understand how the paranoiac imaginary endemic to contemporary
educational thought manifests itself throughout the social field
and what issues it makes manifest for teachers, teacher educators,
and academics working toward social transformation.
Online communities continue to evolve as more people take on a
virtual presence. This shift in online communities and the
diversity of individuals populating the web has allowed for the
emergence of virtual communities centered on niche topics of
interests ranging from heavy metal music to indigenous and native
culture. Educational, Psychological, and Behavioral Considerations
in Niche Online Communities examines the presence of online
communities centered around niche topics of interest and the impact
of these virtual spaces on community members. Taking perspectives
from interdisciplinary fields such as sociology, psychology, and
education, this publication will appeal to educators,
psychologists, behaviorists, students, and researchers interested
in the impact of virtual communities on individuals as well as the
opportunities these online communities present.
