The Social Life of a Herstory Textbook: Bridging Institutionalism and Actor-Network Theory

Autor Massilia Ourabah
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mai 2021
This book studies the possibility for feminist educational change by examining a case study on the social life of a French gender and women history textbook. Massilia Ourabah opens a unique and timely dialogue between two antagonistic sociological trends: institutionalism and actor-network theory (ANT), and more specifically the inhabited institution approach and the sociology of translation. The structure of the book is dual: it offers one version of the case study grounded in the institutionalist approach, and another version grounded in the translational approach. The goal is to show that through the introduction of institutional elements and the rejection of some of ANT’s strongest assumptions, the critical value of ANT can be restored and prove a useful framework for studying sociomaterial networks in education. The book also engages with feminist pedagogy and discusses the implications of the case study for the prospect of a more gender-balanced educational curriculum.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The Social Life of a Herstory Textbook is an original and exciting analysis by a hugely promising young scholar. It skillfully and elegantly bridges two theoretical frameworks typically seen as incompatible, and provides a rich ethnographic account of a timely, widely debated issue: how to do justice to gender and women’s perspectives in the context of mainstream education?”
Prof. Dr. Giselinde Kuipers, Research Professor of Sociology, Catholic University Leuven, Belgium
“This is a very important and timely book. It moves beyond the mere observation of the inadequacy of gendered representations in education and asks: how does educational change happen in practice?  Next to its empirical contribution, this book ingeniously brings together actor-network theory and the institutionalist sociological tradition. A must read!”
Prof. Dr. Jan Willem Duyvendak, Distinguished Research Professor of Sociology, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Caracteristici

Brings together feminist studies, institutional theory and science and technology studies to explore gender mainstreaming in curriculum and feminist-influenced educational change Uses the French history textbook La place des femmes dans l’histoire: Une histoire mixte (2010) as a case study, critically evaluates the possibility and/or difficulty of gender-mainstreaming the content of public education Uniquely offers two versions of the ‘social life’ of the textbook: one from an institutionalist perspective, the other from an Actor-Network Theory (ANT) perspective
