Overview
This book explores the works of Michel Foucault and their relevance for educational theory and practice. Gail McNicol Jardine investigates Foucault's early examinations of the transformation of knowledge systems as societies change, his in-depth, critical analyses of Knowledge-Power, and his increasingly more explicit examination of the relationship of the Self to acts of Knowledge-Power. This book will be useful in undergraduate and graduate courses in education, critical theory, educational theory, critical pedagogy, philosophy, psychology, and sociology.Synopsis
Drawing on her own research, Jardine (education, U. of Calgary) discusses subjects of concern to educators treated by postmodern French philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-84). Addressed in a chronological overview of his works, such subjects include the social construction of knowledge, language, power, discipline, and normality. References include English versions of Foucault's works listed both chronologically and thematically. Not indexed. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
