Description

This innovative book examines the aesthetic event of education.

Extending beyond the pedagogy of art or art appreciation, Tyson E.

Lewis takes a much broader view of aesthetics and argues that teaching and learning are themselves aesthetic performances.

As Jacques Ranciere has recently argued, there is an inherent connection between aesthetics and politics, both of which disrupt conventional distributions of who can speak and think.

Here, Lewis extends Ranciere's general thesis to examine how there is not only an aesthetics of politics but also an aesthetics of education.

In particular, Lewis' analysis focuses on several questions: What are the possibilities and limitations of building analogies between teachers and artists, education and specific aesthetic forms?

What is the relationship between democracy and aesthetic sensibilities?

Lewis examines these questions by juxtaposing Ranciere's work on universal teaching, democracy, and aesthetics with Paulo Freire's work on critical pedagogy, freedom, and literacy.

The result is an extension and problematization of Ranciere's project as well as a new appreciation for the largely ignored aesthetic dimension of Freire's pedagogy of the oppressed.
