Book Synopsis Devolution and Autonomy in Education by : Pablo Buznic-Bourgeacq
Download or read book Devolution and Autonomy in Education written by Pablo Buznic-Bourgeacq and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allowing learners to take some responsibility may seem obvious yet what is actually afforded to them, and how this process works, remains difficult to grasp. It is therefore essential to study the real objects of devolution and the roles played by the subjects involved. Devolution and Autonomy in Education questions the concept of devolution, introduced into the field of education in the 1980s from disciplinary didactics, and described in Guy Brousseau’s Theory of Didactical Situations in Mathematics as: the act by which the teacher makes the student take responsibility for a learning situation (adidactic) or problem and accepts the consequences of this transfer. The book revisits this concept through a variety of subject areas (mathematics, French, physical education, life sciences, digital learning, play) and educational domains (teaching, training, facilitation). Using these intersecting perspectives, this book also examines the purpose and timeline of the core process for thinking about autonomy and empowerment in education.
Book Synopsis Biopolitics of Security by : Michael Dillon
Download or read book Biopolitics of Security written by Michael Dillon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking its inspiration from Michel Foucault, this volume of essays integrates the analysis of security into the study of modern political and cultural theory. Explaining how both politics and security are differently problematised by changing accounts of time, the work shows how, during the course of the 17th century, the problematisation of government and rule became newly enframed by a novel account of time and human finitude, which it calls ‘factical finitude’. The correlate of factical finitude is the infinite, and the book explains how the problematisation of politics and security became that of securing the infinite government of finite things. It then explains how concrete political form was given to factical finitude by a combination of geopolitics and biopolitics. Modern sovereignty required the services of biopolitics from the very beginning. The essays explain how these politics of security arose at the same time, changed together, and have remained closely allied ever since. In particular, the book explains how biopolitics of security changed in response to the molecularisation and digitalisation of Life, and demonstrates how this has given rise to the dangers and contradictions of 21st century security politics. This book will be of much interest to students of political and cultural theory, critical security studies and International Relations.
Book Synopsis Philosophy as a Lived Experience by : Marianna Papastephanou
Download or read book Philosophy as a Lived Experience written by Marianna Papastephanou and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2014 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For three years in a row, an international group of philosophers of education came together to reflect and promote a conception of philosophy as a lived experience. This book is a result of their discussions and makes an original contribution to the field. The book presents conceptual and critical works relevant to the current theoretical developments and debates within the fields of philosophy and education. The articles contribute both to philosophical clarifications and the advancement of research with solid arguments for theoretical and practical redirections. To deploy their arguments, the contributors draw on classical thinkers - such as Plato, Kant, and Dewey - and on contemporary prominent theorists - such as Derrida, Badiou, and Deleuze - with fresh and critical perspectives.

Book Synopsis The Social Life of Achievement by : Nicholas J. Long
Download or read book The Social Life of Achievement written by Nicholas J. Long and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when people “achieve”? Why do reactions to “achievement” vary so profoundly? And how might an anthropological study of achievement and its consequences allow us to develop a more nuanced model of the motivated agency that operates in the social world? These questions lie at the heart of this volume. Drawing on research from Southeast Asia, Europe, the United States, and Latin America, this collection develops an innovative framework for explaining achievement’s multiple effects—one which brings together cutting-edge theoretical insights into politics, psychology, ethics, materiality, aurality, embodiment, affect and narrative. In doing so, the volume advances a new agenda for the study of achievement within anthropology, emphasizing the significance of achievement as a moment of cultural invention, and the complexity of “the achiever” as a subject position.
Book Synopsis Reframing Suicide by : Katrina Jaworski
Download or read book Reframing Suicide written by Katrina Jaworski and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-06 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on understanding and researching suicide and suicide prevention from historical, political, cultural, social, and philosophical perspectives, all of which are located in particular contexts of research and practice. Critical suicide studies, as an intellectual movement, has been in the making for over 40 years. Yet it has emerged only in recent times thanks to the global efforts of scholars, practitioners and activists working across a range of disciplines and fields of practice. Critical suicide studies seeks to reframe how suicide has been researched by disrupting traditional ways of understanding suicide and suicide prevention. In so doing, this movement is critical of the universalising assumptions and applications of ideas about suicide, which too often are centre on Western notions of psychopathology, and individualised accounts of agency and suicidal subjectivity. The collected works in this book offer interventions into the way suicide and suicide prevention have been understood in different contexts, be it in relation to the history of knowledge production and its approaches, practices of suicide prevention, and more recent examples of how suicide is represented, both publicly and personally. This book will be of immense value to scholars, students and researchers interested in the topic of suicide in relation to epistemic injustice, history, critiques of scientific frameworks, moral discourses, ethics, and creative arts such as poetry. It was originally published as a special issue of Social Epistemology.
Book Synopsis Climate Politics as Investment by : Simon Wolf
Download or read book Climate Politics as Investment written by Simon Wolf and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simon Wolf describes how the growing awareness for the economic consequences of climate change and the economic opportunities of climate protection has led to changes in the rationality of governing climate change, from reducing emissions to building low-carbon economies. One crucial strategy for governments in orchestrating the transformation to cleaner economies is to enable low-carbon investment. The author therefore takes a critical look at how climate governance is reframed as an economic and investment challenge in recent years, and reveals some of the blind spots of focusing on the economic and investment opportunities related to climate protection.

Book Synopsis Critical And Effective Histories by : Mitchell Dean
Download or read book Critical And Effective Histories written by Mitchell Dean and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2004. This work places Foucault's methodologies against social theory and philosophy in order to provide a guide to social sciences, particularly historical sociology. Written to clarify Foucault's contribution for professional and non-professional readers, the text demonstrates the originality and usefulness of Foucault's work and embodies a conviction that Foucault's approaches could transform sociology into an effective, multi-focused, relevant discipline. Finally, the book illustrates that his methods provide the necessary condition for any state-of-the-art social research today, addressing his methodological position and establishing its relationship to Nietzsche, Kant, Weber, Elias, Habermas, Giddens, and the Annales and Frankfurt Schools.
Book Synopsis Studies of Discourse and Governmentality by : Paul McIlvenny
Download or read book Studies of Discourse and Governmentality written by Paul McIlvenny and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-06-29 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together analyses of governmentality from different angles in order to explore the multiple forms, practices, modes, programmes and rationalities of the ‘conduct of conduct’ today. Following the publication of Foucault’s annual lecture series at the Collège de France, scholars have attempted to critically rethink Foucault’s ideas. This is the first volume that attempts to revisit and expand studies of governmentality by connecting it to the theories and methods of discourse analysis. The volume draws on different theoretical stances and methodological approaches including critical discourse analysis, conversation analysis, dialogic analysis, multimodal discourse analysis, the discourse-historical approach, corpus analysis and French discourse analysis. The volume is relevant to students and scholars in the fields of critical discourse studies, conversation analysis, international studies, environmental studies, political science, public policy and organisation studies.

Book Synopsis Surveillance and Identity by : David Barnard-Wills
Download or read book Surveillance and Identity written by David Barnard-Wills and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveillance and Identity analyses the discourse of surveillance in the contemporary United Kingdom, drawing upon public language from central government, governmental agencies, activist movements, and from finance and banking. Examining the logics of these discourses and revealing the manner in which they construct problems of governance in the light of the insecurity of identity, this book shows how identity is fundamentally linked to surveillance, as governmental discourses privilege surveillance as a response to social problems. In drawing links between new technologies and national surveillance projects or concerns surrounding phenomena such as identity fraud, Surveillance and Identity presents a new understanding of identity - the model of 'surveillance identity' - demonstrating that this is often applied to individuals by powerful organisations at the same time as the concept is being actively contested in public language. The first comprehensive study of the discursive politics of surveillance in the UK, this book makes significant contributions to surveillance theory, governmentality theory, and to political and social identity theories. As such, it will be of interest to social scientists of all kinds working on questions of public discourse and political communication, identity, surveillance and the relationship between the individual and the state.

Book Synopsis A Nice Derangement of Epistemes by : John H. Zammito
Download or read book A Nice Derangement of Epistemes written by John H. Zammito and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2004-02-15 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1950s, many philosophers of science have attacked positivism—the theory that scientific knowledge is grounded in objective reality. Reconstructing the history of these critiques, John H. Zammito argues that while so-called postpositivist theories of science are very often invoked, they actually provide little support for fashionable postmodern approaches to science studies. Zammito shows how problems that Quine and Kuhn saw in the philosophy of the natural sciences inspired a turn to the philosophy of language for resolution. This linguistic turn led to claims that science needs to be situated in both historical and social contexts, but the claims of recent "science studies" only deepened the philosophical quandary. In essence, Zammito argues that none of the problems with positivism provides the slightest justification for denigrating empirical inquiry and scientific practice, delivering quite a blow to the "discipline" postmodern science studies. Filling a gap in scholarship to date, A Nice Derangement of Epistemes will appeal to historians, philosophers, philosophers of science, and the broader scientific community.
Book Synopsis Creating Inclusive Knowledges by : Christopher C. Sonn
Download or read book Creating Inclusive Knowledges written by Christopher C. Sonn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a growing interest in the role of arts and cultural practice in tackling perennial forms of social exclusion, marginalization, and oppression. Researchers and educators from different disciplines have been collaborating with community-based agencies and community groups to forge new ways to challenge these forms of exclusion. This volume discusses how various social actors, work in interdisciplinary and cross-institutional ways to push an agenda that privileges those individuals and groups, who experience and live at the front line of social inequality, discrimination, racism and oppression. For instance, what new understandings are generated through creative, interdisciplinary, action oriented work, and the implications for social action and transformation? How are community pedagogies constructed and communicated through arts-based research, contemporary and innovative mediums such as creative performances, arts, technologies, mixed-cultural practices and social media and networking? This collection of articles, blurs the lines between cultural practice and knowledge production, with the process and products coming in the forms of theories, creative methodologies, and a range of arts. Together these act as powerful pedagogical tools for engaging in social justice and transformative work. The contributions further highlight the multifaceted and diverse ways of creating and disseminating knowledge, and the attempts to decenter text-based ways of communicating in hopes of sharing collaborative knowledge beyond the academy and engaging the ‘public’. This volume was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Inclusive Education.
Book Synopsis Bearing Society in Mind by : Samuel A Chambers
Download or read book Bearing Society in Mind written by Samuel A Chambers and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political and economic models of society often operate at a level of abstraction so high that the connections between them, and their links to culture, are beyond reach. Bearing Society in Mind challenges these disciplinary boundaries and proposes an alternative framework—the social formation. The theory of social formation demonstrates how the fabric of society is made up of threads that are simultaneously economic, political, and cultural. Drawing on the work of theorists including Marx, Althusser, Butler, Žižek and Rancière, Bearing Society in Mindmakes the strongest case possible for the theoretical importance and political necessity of this concept. It simultaneously demonstrates that the social formation proves to be a very particular and peculiar type of “concept”—it is not a reflection or model of the world, but is definitively and concretely bound up with and constitutive of the world.
