The work of attunement
Elite entanglements and the demand for a radically un/ethical position
Sociologist Colin Bell pointed out that sociology “can be easily seen as thoroughly implicated in the power structure of society” (1978 Bell, C. (1978). Studying the locally powerful: Personal reflections on a research career. In C. Bell & S. Encel (Eds.), Inside the whale: Ten personal account of social research (pp. 14–40). Rushcutters Bay: Pergamon Press.10.1016/B978-0-08-022244-8.50006-1[Crossref] , [Google Scholar], p. 25). One way in which …

We use the character of Natty Bumppo from James Fen…

The Best of the Best
For two years, Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández shared the life of what he calls the "Weston School," an elite New England boarding school. Vividly describing the pastoral landscape and graceful buildings, the rich variety of classes and activities, and the official and unofficial rules that define the school, The Best of the Best reveals a small world of deeply ambitious, intensely pressured students. For Gaztambide-Fernández, Weston is daunting yet s…

The Artist in Society
Disparate and contradicting assumptions about culture play a significant role in how the artist is constructed in the public imagination. These assumptions have important implications for how young artists should be educated and for the curriculum of artistic education. In this article, I theorize three conceptions of the role of the artist in society and the challenge they present for artistic education. I discuss three theoretical conceptions: …
