Description:

A treatise on Jacques Derrida's "educational texts" - those writings concerned with the ethics and politics of the historico-philosophical structures constituting the scene of teaching. It addresses the importance of deconstruction as a means of analyzing pedagogical institutions and structures.

Synopsis:

In this compelling and timely treatise, cultural theorist and educator Peter Trifonas puts forth the first book-length study of Jacques Derrida's 'educational texts:' that is, those writings most explicitly concerned with the ethics and politics of the historico-philosophical structures constituting the scene of teaching. The text examines how deconstruction allows us to re-think the socio-historical and ethico-philosophical aspects of pedagogical practices and policies, including pedagogical theories that have had direct bearing on the ethical and cultural ideals forming the reason of Western educational systems and the exclusion of its 'Others.'
