Playing with the Tensions of Theory to Practice: Teacher, Professor, and Students Co-Constructing Identity through Curriculum Transformation
Pfeiler-Wunder, Amy; Tomel, Rhonda
Art Education, v67 n5 p40-46 Sep 2014
Pfeiler-Wunder and Tomel are exploring the spaces that exist within and between their art educational practices in this article, questioning: "Who this is about?" Mira Kallio-Tavin presents a similar questioning in her "Studies" commentary, "Impossible Practice and Theories of the Impossible: A Response to Helene Illeris's Potentials of Togetherness." For Kallio-Tavin, one cannot simply valorize a notion of "community" without an acknowledgement of the productive individual(s) that contribute to this collectivity. Where Kallio-Tavin is engaged in a dialogue with Illeris, Pfeiler-Wunder works with Tomel. In both cases, there is productive dissonance to be found between the positions and practices that each individual represents.
