This book examines critical theories in education research from
various points of view in order to critique the relations of power
and knowledge in education and schooling practices. It addresses
social injustices in the field of education, while at the same time
questioning traditional standards of critical theory. Drawing on
recent social and literary criticism, this collection identifies
conversations across disciplines that address the theoretical and
methodological challenges in educational debate. "Critical Theories
in Education" offers a rethinking of Marxist theories of education,
joining issues of teaching and pedagogy with issues of the state
and economy, social movements, literary criticism, pragmatism and
postcolonialism.
Series Information: Social Theory, Education and Cultural Change
Michel Foucault's influential work spanned a wide array of
intellectual disciplines, his writings having been widely taken up
in philosophy, history, literary criticism and political theory.
Focusing on the implications of Foucault's theories for education,
whilst characterizing them as provocative, problematizing, poetic
and playful, Lynn Fendler describes the historical context for
understanding Foucault's ground breaking critiques. Including a
discussion of his major theories of disciplinary power, genealogy,
discourse and subjectivity, this text provides generative
explanations of concepts, using analogies to the Internet and to
food, in order to connect Foucault's theories to everyday
experience.
