Toward a notion of poetical education
In this essay, I explore Heidegger’s notion of Gelassenheit and how it relates to Wallace Stevens’s poem “How to Live. What to Do”. I argue that after reading the poem, what is revealed is an idea of education that draws the poet and the philosopher into close proximity. Poetry and thinking can counter learning as a pursuit of knowledge by the means of what Gert Biesta (2013/2016) calls “the new language of learning” (p. 63) and prepare for learn…
Education and (in)authentic mourning
My analysis Ishiguro’s novel Never Let Me Go aims to explore how the work of mourning relates to the artificiality of art as well as reality, and how this, in turn, relates to and affects education. In doing so, I engage with philosophical and theoretical works, such as Walter Benjamin’s seminal essay ‘The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Production’, Martin Heidegger’s important text ‘The Question Concerning Technology’, and Derrida’s exposi…

Evolving Bildung, technology and streaming art
The essay outlines an alternative model of Bildung, which the authors call an evolving Bildung. Their argument for taking this perspective on Bildung builds on Heidegger’s thinking concerning technology and his notion of a step back out of metaphysics and into a thinking of what is essential in technology. Moreover, departing from both Gadamer’s and Heidegger’s thinking the authors analyze how streaming media as art as well as art within streamin…
Towards a model of teaching disciplinary boundaries – History with Literature and Literature with History
In this article it is argued that students can gain a better understanding of both inter- and intra-disciplinary boundaries by inquiring into a single salient point where two disciplines may only partially intersect. Building on Marton's variation theory and Vygotsky's notion of articulation, a teaching model is presented and exemplified by disciplinary intersections regarding narration and narrativity in Literature and History. This is done spec…
Social Efficiency and Instrumentalism in Education
Being a Stranger and the Strangeness of Being
Joseph Conrad’s ‘The secret sharer’ has often been associated with what can be called initiation stories. However, in this article I argue that Conrad’s text is more than that. It can, I suggest, be read as an allegory of the inaccessibility to reveal the essence of being in command, being in education, and also the inaccessibility of the essence of the meaning of the text itself. It keeps its secret by allegorically staging alternative readings.…
