Edusemiotics : Semiotic philosophy as educational foundation Paperback / softback
by Andrew Stables, Inna (University of Waikato, New Zealand) Semetsky
Part of the New Directions in the Philosophy of Education series
Paperback / softback
Description
Edusemiotics addresses an emerging field of inquiry, educational semiotics, as a philosophy of and for education.
Using "sign" as a unit of analysis, educational semiotics amalgamates philosophy, educational theory and semiotics.
Edusemiotics draws on the intellectual legacy of such philosophers as John Dewey, Charles Sanders Peirce, Gilles Deleuze and others across Anglo-American and continental traditions. This volume investigates the specifics of semiotic knowledge structures and processes, exploring current dilemmas and debates regarding self-identity, learning, transformative and lifelong education, leadership and policy-making, and interrogating an important premise that still haunts contemporary educational philosophy: Cartesian dualism.
In defiance of substance dualism and the fragmentation of knowledge that still inform education, the book offers a unifying paradigm for education as edusemiotics and emphasises ethical education in compliance with the semiotic unity between knowledge and action. Chapters contain accessible discussions in the context of educational philosophy and theory, crossing the borders between logic, art, and science together with a provocative theoretical critique.
Recently awarded a PESA book award for its contribution to the philosophy of education, Edusemiotics will appeal to an academic readership in education, philosophy and cultural studies, while also being an inspiring resource for students.
