Jacques Lacan and Education: A Critical Introduction By Donyell L. Roseboro
2008 | 112 Pages | ISBN: 9087904231 | PDF | 2 MB
This is an introductory level text with emphasis on Lacan's theoretical relationship to education and which uses Lacan's theories as a springboard for a different educational discourse, one that forces us to assess inward rather than outward. To move beyond the linear nature of schools, a context exacerbated by developmental psychologists like Piaget and Erikson who theorized that we can understand children's development in stages, the author argues that Lacan's theories allow us to holistically educate--to teach cognizant of the relationship between interior and exterior spaces, between the unspoken and the heard. The text serves four purposes: 1) to translate Lacan's primary ideas into language appropriate for introductory level college students, 2) to examine identity in ways that are relevant across disciplines, 3) to re-frame Lacan's work with post-structuralist and postmodern theories and, in so doing, create a distinctive analysis of the self predefined yet reinvented, and 4) to juxtapose Lacan's work with post-formal thinking and theorize about his relevance to public education.This book is purposefully organized with specific emphasis on Lacan's work as a teacher and the ways in which his theories complicate current accountability standards in the United States which insist that "good" teaching and learning is quantifiable. The author foregrounds Lacan's concepts of identity and language and analyzes those in parallel to the discourses of democratic education. Lacan's theories do provide some indelible possibilities for public education in the twenty-first century. Considering his relevance to post-structuralism, post-formalism, post colonialism, and postmodernism, a Lacanian perspective of public education would defy the current standardization of curriculum in the wake of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mandates. Using Lacan, the author re-envisions public education as a process which encourages the distinctiveness of students, challenges normative assumptions about what a "good" student is, and demands that teachers facilitate student understanding of multiple truths but that teachers also engage in an honest reconstruction of history--one that acknowledges the brutality of conquest, the arrogance of imperialism, and the illusiveness/elusiveness of peace.Using the South African Truth and Reconciliation process as a framework, the author ends by constructing a model for public education which is grounded in "truth-telling" in public spaces, "witnessing" as a political practice, and educating as purposeful work. A Lacanian, post-formal curriculum, at its core, thus requires that we seek and identify truths, we work to become integrated beings by hearing the unconscious (that which we do not want to or cannot face), and that we educate for goodness and wholeness. This book is ultimately a call to re-envision the current public educational system in the U. S., a call to admit that it has inexcusably failed far too many children, and a call to construct entirely different possibilities.

English | ISBN: 0786447389 | 2011 | 284 pages | PDF | 11 MB
AMC's episodic drama Mad Men has become a cultural phenomenon, detailing America's preoccupation with commercialism and image in the Camelot of 1960s Kennedy-era America, while self-consciously exploring current preoccupations. The 12 critical essays in this collection offer a broad, interdisciplinary approach to this highly relevant television show, examining Mad Men as a cultural barometer for contemporary concerns with consumerism, capitalism and sexism. Topics include New Historicist parallels between the 1960s and the present day, psychoanalytical approaches to the show, the self as commodity, and the "Age of Camelot" as an "Age of Anxiety," among others. A detailed cast list and episode guide are included. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may

A Literature of Restitution: Critical Essays on W.G. Sebald By Jeannette Baxter; Valerie Henitiuk; Ben Hutchinson
2013 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0719088526 | EPUB | 6 MB
This book investigates the crucial question of 'restitution' in the work of W. G. Sebald. Written by leading scholars from a range of disciplines, with a foreword by his English translator Anthea Bell, the essays collected in this volume place Sebald's oeuvre within the broader context of European culture in order to better understand his engagement with the ethics of aesthetics.Whilst opening up his work to a range of under-explored areas including dissident surrealism, Anglo-Irish relations, contemporary performance practices and the writings of H. G. Adler, the volume notably returns to the original German texts. The recurring themes identified in the essays - from Sebald's carefully calibrated syntax to his self-consciousness about 'genre', from his interest in liminal spaces to his literal and metaphorical preoccupation with blindness and vision - all suggest that the 'attempt at restitution' constitutes the very essence of Sebald's understanding of literature.

Their healthcare systems, however, are only now beginning to catch up.
