Cardona, Natalia Duque – Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, 2022
This paper presents language as a scenario where the word in its multiple manifestations constitutes a symbolic field around which reality is constructed (as it is not unusual for someone to want to control it). It is briefly explained how in the processes of cultural plundering in Latin America, the word as a technology of power was taken by the…

Brockmeier, Jens – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2020
Writing and narrative are commonly taken to be two separate fields of research and scholarly reflection. In this paper, I offer some thoughts on how they are related, using David Olson's work on literacy and the development of metalinguistic awareness as a frame of reasoning. As Olson has shown, language is not only a form and practice of…

Evans, Sarah; Harrison, Michaela; Rousell, David – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2022
This paper addresses the irruptive potentiality of language in rethinking pivotal concepts in pre-service and in-service teacher education. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari's reconceptualization of language, we undertake a radical undoing of dominant concepts of pedagogy, curriculum, and assessment as 'order-words' that variously segment, delimit,…

Ungureanu, Manuela L. – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2020
With, "The Mind on Paper," Olson hopes to amass the strongest empirical evidence needed, in his view, to support a more promising version of Goody's insights on literacy's impact on social and psychological change (Goody, "The domestication of the savage mind," Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1977). The book is also the…

Gender differences are defined as biological differences between sexes; however, this review explores how perceived differences may be culturally reinforced gendered behavior that occur within supervision as opposed to actual biological differences among sexes.

Eaton, Sarah Elaine – British Educational Research Journal, 2020
Considerations for conducting ethical research with human participants in languages other than English are addressed to some extent in regulatory and guiding statements for researchers, but in ways that are minimal or vague.

Weber, Desiree – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2019
This article establishes a pedagogic reading of Wittgenstein's later work, which explores the significance of teaching and learning themes through close textual analysis and archival work on his Nachlass.

St. Pierre, Elizabeth Adams – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2017
This paper reviews Deleuze's theory of language in "Logic of Sense," and Deleuze and Guattari's theory of language in "A Thousand Plateaus." In the ontology informed by the Stoics described in those books, human being and language do not exist separately but in a mixture of words and things. The author argues that this…

Tîrnovan, Daniela – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2023
This investigation of translanguaging is grounded upon the ubiquitous theme of "structures" explicitly and implicitly found in the translanguaging literature. Through this theme, this paper begins by providing a novel theoretical framework followed by considering the need for translanguaging (e.g., education's growth of multilingualism;…
