Zusatztext As an academic! I have been waiting for a clear map of the collusion between liberal democracy and the marketplace of ideas. Combining a careful! nuanced reading of Lyotard with an innovative deployment of work by Jodi Dean and Lee Edelman! Ford shows nothing less than that the world can no longer afford to leave problems of pedagogy to schools of education. The relationship between politics and education emerges here as the central problem of the times. This book not only calls for intervention! but actually provides one. Informationen zum Autor Derek R. Ford is Assistant Professor of Education Studies at DePauw University! USA. He is the author of Education and the Production of Space (2017) and Communist Study (2016). Zusammenfassung Those who are in shock that truth doesn't seem to matter in politics miss the mark: politics has never corresponded with the truth. Rather! political struggle is about the formulation and materialization of new truths. The "post-truth" era thus offers an important opportunity to push forward into a different world. Embracing this opportunity! Derek R. Ford articulates a new educational philosophy and praxis that emerges from within the nexus of social theory and political struggle. Blocking together aesthetics! queer theory! urbanism! postmodern philosophy! and radical politics! Ford develops arguments and proposals on key topics ranging from debt and time! to the death drive and forms of political organization. Through forceful yet accessible prose! Ford offers contemporary left politics an imaginative and potent set of educational concepts and practices. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction: Don’t Bring Truth to a Gunfight1. Studying in the Party2.
