Teaching poetry using Instagram
Young people engage daily with various social media platforms to communicate with each other across the globe. Adolescents not only share text, but also use images and sound to express themselves on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok to provide access to user-created content. The recent emergence of InstaPoetry—poetry with images on Instagram—has been part of such communication and provides a good entry point into adolescents’ engagement with…

Intergenerational irruptions in Olivier Schrauwen’s Arsène Schrauwen
This paper investigates the emergence of dream material in the graphic novel Arsène Schrauwen, authored by Belgian comics artist, Olivier Schrauwen. Although the author purports to tell the story of his grandfather’s misadventures as a young man, from the novel’s outset the focus on Arsène’s life is blurry and unreliable, much like the creative distortions and displacements of dreaming. Drawing on notions of reverie, countertransference dreaming,…
The Anxious Underworld of Teacher Education
ENEATH THE VISIBLE, LEGIBLE, QUANTIFIABLE CURRENTS of classroom life lays a seething vortex of ambient, proto-cultural form, "unsigned, unreadable, and unsymbolized" (de Certeau, 1984, p. xvii).Between what can and cannot be expressed, there remains a constant flow of emotion and embodied, unclear gestures: stutters, bursts of nervous energy, slowly closing eyes, sighs of disinterest, flits of unformed feeling, posturing, sleepy smiles.This unsee…
Adolescent memory beyond reflection
“No one has ever had the adolescence they should have had.”- Adam Phillips, Missing Out (2012, p. xvi)In activities usually referred to as “reflections” or “journaling,” students in the process of
Provoking Curriculum Encounters Across Educational Experience
Crossing over and in between
That what is not yet experienced did nevertheless happen in the past”
Since retiring, my father’s taken on the role of family archivist, desiring to leave a trace that endures, daily scanning negatives from my childhood and frequently sending them to me as crisp, dig
Dreaming the Unstable Wings of Desire
When it comes to education, the dream cannot be controlled by the strictures of language or the conscious mind, and in its insistently disobedient character, is unwilling to submit to the demands of a deliberate and conscious curriculum. Indeed, we might say that what dreams represent is the absence of education itself, and a mobile energy antithetical to a fantasy of smoothly functioning teaching. In this article, we approach the question of dre…
The problem of endings in teacher education
This article explores how a reading group of pre-service teachers responded to the endings of three contemporary young adult texts and what such responses may imply about the interpretive preferences of teacher education. Set in the context of a Faculty of Education at a Canadian university, and using the lens of psychoanalytic theory, this article considers the kinds of thoughts that pre-service teachers appear to privilege, and what such privil…
The Slippery Simultaneities of Remembering and Forgetting
Considering the question of how to represent the concealments and disintegrations of forgetting, this article theorizes the inextricable play of memory in Nathalie Sarraute's Enfance, whose fragmented descriptions of childhood experience work to emphasize the problems of representation in relation to narrative acts of autobiographical remembering
Comics and the structure of childhood feeling
In this paper, I study the narrative structure of comics as a means to describe the ways that indeterminate modes of representation can allow the reader to imagine that which in childhood can never be fully expressed. Analyzing a number of panels from Gilbert Hernandez's graphic novel, Marble Season, I describe a conceptual link between the psychoanalytic idea of sublimation (referencing the theories of Freud, Loewald, and Winnicott), and Raymond…
Teacher Education in Memory's Light and Shadow
Though we are all inevitably familiar with the everyday effects of forgetting, we generally fail to ask about what its internal movements look like, or how we can talk about what they reveal. Despite its necessity as a structuring process of autobiographical inquiry, forgetting's invisible moves are always obscured by that which remains: the typically unquestioned and seemingly permanent products of remembrance. In this article, I think about how…
Fostering Childish Tendencies in Teacher Education and Young Adult Literature
In teaching young adult literature in a teacher education programme at the undergraduate level, I pose the question of how I can best introduce my personal theoretical stances into the formal curriculum and syllabi, without unintentionally conveying such theories to my students as necessary postures. I first outline the theoretical underpinnings that inform my own work: which include psychoanalytic theory, ideas of fantasy and loss in reading exp…
Alone in the Classroom as Limit‐Case
As the boundaries of the body, the vicissitudes of psychic life, and the bonds of social existence can hardly themselves be regarded as straightforward facts, the everyday movements of teaching and learning likewise defy and resist understanding. There is always that which interferes, that which makes of education a problem of affect and human relation, rather than one of simple correspondence. Though we might wish it otherwise, “learning” is oft…
Saltwater Chronicles
Saltwater Chronicles investigates the notion of “islandness” in contemporary Newfoundland readership through two in-depth case studies of book clubs as representational spaces in the elaboration of local knowledge and identities. We demonstrate how select Newfoundland readers perform acts of regeneration in which the lived, loved, and experiential dimensions of literary space come to invoke the permeability of psychic and geographic borders, the …
