Ghosts of Archive Deconstructive Intersectionality and Praxis

Ghosts of Archive Deconstructive Intersectionality and Praxis

Ghosts of Archive draws on the discourses of deconstruction intersectionality and archetypal psychology to mount an argument that archive is fundamentally and structurally spectral and that the work of archive is justice. Drawing on more than 20 years of the author’s research on deconstruction and archive the book posits archive as an essential resource for social justice activism and as a source or location of soul for individuals and communities. Through explorations of what Jacques Derrida termed ‘hauntology’ Harris invites a listening to the call for justice in conceptual spaces that are non-disciplinary. He argues that archive is both constructed in relation to and beset by ghosts – ghosts of the living of the dead and of those not yet born – and that attention should be paid to them. Establishing a unique nexus between a deconstructive intersectionality and traditions of ‘memory for justice’ in struggles against oppression from South Africa and elsewhere the book makes a case for a deconstructive praxis in today’s archive. Offering new ideas about spectrality banditry and archival activism Ghosts of Archive should appeal to those working in the disciplines of archival science information studies and psychology. It should also be essential reading for those with an interest in social justice issues transitional justice history philosophy memory studies and postcolonial studies. | Ghosts of Archive Deconstructive Intersectionality and Praxis

Theorising Public Pedagogy The Educative Agent in the Public Realm

Theorising Public Pedagogy The Educative Agent in the Public Realm

Drawing on the ideas of Hannah Arendt and Michel Foucault this book extends the theoretical understanding of public pedagogy and brings into sharp focus the elements that constitute the public realm; the site of public pedagogy. Karen Charman and Mary Dixon offer a new theorisation of the public a term at the heart of debate in the field heightened in this post-truth era by the COVID-19 pandemic the rise of fake news and the technological reconfigurations of public life. The new theorization addresses the ‘public’ ‘pedagogy’ and their confluence in ‘public pedagogy’. The book explores a deep engagement with the architecture and dynamics of pedagogy and argues for the positioning of pedagogy with the public. The authors contribute to a theorisation that re-considers the individual and their capacity for agency within the public realm. The book presents knowledge and pedagogical encounters as key elements of public pedagogy and most significantly the educative agent as a means of critically rethinking social life and learning in public spaces. Presenting an innovative theoretical approach this book will be of interest to academics in the fields of public and critical pedagogy and postgraduate students in education cultural studies and politics. | Theorising Public Pedagogy The Educative Agent in the Public Realm

A fascinating study of ghosts as an inherently social phenomenon Sensing Spirits will appeal to sociologists with interests in ethnography interactionism cultural studies and subcultures. | Sensing Spirits Paranormal Investigation and the Social Construction of Ghosts
