| Summary: |
This book considers Foucault as educator in three main ways. First, through some consideration of what his work says about education as a social and political practice. That is, education as a form of what Allen (2014) calls benign violence which operates through mundane, quotidian disciplinary technologies and expert knowledges which together construct a pedagogical machine . Second, through an exploration of his method as a form of critique. That is, as a way of showing that things are not as necessary as all that , a way of addressing what is intolerable. This suggests that critique is education of a kind. Third, through a discussion of some of Foucault's later work on subjectivity and in particular on the care of the self or what we might call a pedagogy of the self . Each chapter introduces and discusses some relevant examples from educational settings to illustrate and enact Foucault s analytics. |
