Education in Radical Uncertainty: Transgression in Theory and Method: New Directions in Comparative and International Education

Autor Stephen Carney, Ulla Ambrosius Madsen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mar 2023
Drawing upon the long tradition of recalcitrant thought in Western humanist scholarship, this book rethinks education and educational research at a time of intense social transformation. By revisiting a range of post-foundational ideas and developing their own methodological experiment, Stephen Carney and Ulla Ambrosius Madsen reimagine the possibilities for the comparative study of education. Exploring the experiences of young people in Denmark, South Korea and Zambia, this book illustrates how these very different contexts are increasingly connected by common narratives of purpose, as well as overheated promises of success.Focusing on the writings of Jean Baudrillard, the authors examine them in the context of works by other theorists of modernity, to explore processes of simulation and disappearance that are shaping life worldwide. In the process, the authors paint a rich portrait of education and schooling as a site of joy, hope, pain and ambivalence. Encompassing both theoretical and methodological innovation, Education in Radical Uncertainty provides inspiration for scholars and students attempting to approach the fields of comparative education, education policy and youth studies anew.

Recenzii

This is a courageous book that will make readers think differently about educational research. Carney and Madsen present a profound epistemological argument for alternative ways of doing research, and they also actually do it. Aesthetically curated, juxtaposed, designed in poetic forms and complemented by drawings and sketches, little stories lead to an extremely coherent portrait of the complex world of schooled life in three sites. A must read!
Once in a while a comparative and international education book emerges that is a startling breath of fresh air. Education in Radial Uncertainty is such a book. Using fragmented writing, the authors have produced a readerly text that pushes us to question our understandings of contemporary education in unapologetically transgressive and affirmative ways.
Uninspired by status-quo social science? Unable to shake uncertainty but hesitant to surrender to the unknowable? Carney and Madsen draw upon decades of collaboration to deliver a profound riddle for contemporary educational research. With each turning page, this 21st century koan seeps in, all written with enough subtle humor and sparkle to suggest that the abyss is gazing back into us with a smile.
Education in Radical Uncertainty is written with intense love, passion, and pain. It calls on each of us to face the world the way it is - finite, fractured, and fragmented - refusing the delusional pursuit of (re)making it the way we want it.
Education in Radical Uncertainty is a book that questions the most profound scientific project of sense-making. It speaks to the insight that we all share from time to time that maybe the world is not organized with the rational logic that we feel compelled to impose upon it. Perhaps the world makes no sense. And although this might cause us to despair at first, it might also be a relief. Personally, I learned much and enjoyed reading it. It has made me think differently about my own research. What else can you ask from a mere book?
