EnglishAbstract
Time and the Rhythms of Emancipatory Education argues that by rethinking the way
we relate to time, we can fundamentally rethink the way we conceive education.
Beyond the contemporary rhetoric of acceleration, speed, urgency or slowness,
this book provides an epistemological, historical and theoretical framework that
will serve as a comprehensive resource for critical reflection on the relationship
between the experience of time and emancipatory education.
Drawing upon time and rhythm studies, complexity theories and educational
research, Alhadeff-Jones reflects upon the temporal and rhythmic dimensions
of education to (re)theorize and address current societal and educational challenges.
The book is divided into three parts. The first begins by discussing the
specificities inherent to the study of time in educational sciences. The second
contextualizes the evolution of temporal constraints that determine the ways
education is institutionalized, organized and experienced. The third and final
part questions the meanings of emancipatory education in a context of temporal
alienation.
This is the first book to provide a broad overview of European and North
American theories that inform both the ideas of time and rhythm in educational
sciences, from school instruction, curriculum design and arts education
to vocational training, lifelong learning and educational policies. It will be of
key interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of
philosophy of education, sociology of education, history of education, psychology,
curriculum and learning theory and adult education.
