The composer, author, and teacher, John Cage, was exercised by our 'inability' to truly listen when approaching sound.

Educational resistance is, here, examined in two of its possible inflections. First, as resistance to educational imposition. Second, as a form of resistance which might itself be educational. Jean-François Lyotard's reflections on 'anamnesic resistance' are developed in the context of educational thought, and then read up against proposals for…
