The path of totality
This article explores the implications of Fredric Jameson’s utopian theory for critical education. Although Jameson wrote about education sparingly, the article argues that his scholarly project was pedagogical. To elucidate this interpretation, I examine Jameson’s theoretical formulation of utopian impulse in his writing about science fiction. However, the pedagogical implications of Jameson’s utopian thought can be grasped more fully by analyzi…
Science fiction and the cultural politics of education
Dread and the automation of education
Accelerating digitization, algorithmic computation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, along with the increasing automation of work, communication, and everyday life, are central to critical studies of technology and political economy, as well as to public discourse concerning technology's role in creating futures. Ongoing transformations in technological capacity have also been scrutinized for their impact on experience, emotion, and…
Defending a future university to come
Cultural studies, education, and the apocalyptic threat of war (Vol. 44, No. 2)
Collective Disorientation and Catastrophic Precarity in the Hypermodern Era
Who can imagine a future today? Any sense of progress, or belief in the future, appears as merely another exclusive privilege of the ultrarich. Time seems to be accelerating faster than catastrophic trajectories can be metabolized. Meanwhile, hypermodern capitalism is eroding its own conditions of possibility, intensifying historical injuries and societal fractures, and destabilizing modern assumptions regarding space, time, and security. The sup…
Collective disorientation in the pandemic conjuncture
In its far-reaching impacts on global life, encroaching upon seemingly every aspect of social totality, the COVID-19 pandemic is an urgent topic for cultural studies. This article situates the pandemic within a historical conjuncture in which various post-neoliberal formations are being struggled over. These emergent formations will in turn be indelibly impacted by the pandemic’s social, cultural, and political economic dimensions. Key to this un…
World, planet, territory
Despite proliferating attention within the social sciences toward the sources and consequences of climate change and environmental crises, educational sociologists have been slow to confront ecological questions. This omission may seem surprising given the prominence of global perspectives within the field. However, we argue, such a focus is emblematic of the discipline’s sociocentrism and anthropocentrism. Against such a reified sense of the fie…
The biopolitical turn in educational theory
With Empire, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri reinvigorated debates in political theory and radical philosophy about the cultivation of revolutionary subjectivity. Their theorization of Empire and multitude has also significantly affected the tenor of critical approaches to educational theory during the past two decades. In this article, we discuss Hardt and Negri’s contribution to what we call the biopolitical turn in educational theory, emphasiz…

Reflection or Refusal? A Response to Hilton Kelly’s 2018 Aesa Presidential Address
This short article responds to Hilton Kelly’s 2018 Presidential Address to the American Educational Studies Association (AESA). Although applauding Kelly’s provocative call for a moratorium on publishing in the field of educational studies, we caution that his call to (in)action is framed in overly technical and individualistic terms. In response, we question Kelly’s focus on social significance, and aim to situate the problem he identifies in th…
Breaking the Binds of Enclosure
This article explores the impact of Chet Bowers’ scholarship on critical and ecojustice studies of the relationship between commons and enclosure in educational theory. In the eyes of critical scholars, enclosure tends to thwart social justice. In the eyes of ecojustice scholars, enclosure tends to accelerate environmental degradation. Increasingly, for both camps, the commons are positioned as the answer to each problem. Though much of Bowers’ w…
The dark mirror of capital
This paper examines how transformations in political economy and digital technology point toward potential post-neoliberal futures. Outlining the contours of a crisis of neoliberal hegemony, the authors explore how technological developments have contributed to political economic dynamics of market failure and oligarchic capture, resulting in new forms of digital precarity. As evidence, the paper examines a specific post-neoliberal discourse call…
Toward a New Common School Movement
Standardization and Subjection
Education under neoliberal reform has been targeted as an indispensable source of profit. Market-based reforms have commodified education and are transforming public schooling into a corporatized i
Education as recovery
Building upon critical education policy studies of crisis, disaster, and reform, this essay develops a theory of recovery that further elaborates the nature and operation of ‘crisis politics’ in neoliberal education reform. Recovery is an integral process in capital accumulation, exploiting material, and subjective vulnerability in order to bridge crisis to crisis. Capitalizing on crises, neoliberal reformers position privatization as the mechani…
Constituting Common Subjects
Drawing upon socio-ecological and critical educational theory, this article examines neoliberal educational reforms through a theoretical framework of commons and enclosure. Neoliberal reforms should be regarded as enclosures because they seek to privatize education for profit accumulation, foreclosing the possibility of education operating as a commons, or a collective process of sustainable, democratic, and ethical social production. However, e…
