Against neoliberal pedagogies of plants and people: Mapping actor networks of biocapital in learning gardens

Educational Life and Death: Reassessing Marcuse's Critical Theory of Education in the Neoliberal Age
Drawing upon Herbert Marcuse’s lectures and writings on education, I argue that foundational to his critical theory of education is a biopolitical project calling for the pedagogical production of new human beings under counterrevolutionary types of education. In the second section, I put Marcuse’s biopolitically rethought critical theory of education into conversation with W. E. B. Du Bois’s critique of caste education, as both share the demand …

I lay out this…

Herbert Marcuse was one of the most important and renowned philosophers of the 20th century. His thought and his involvement in global student movements played a decisive role in transforming the political landscape of the 60's and 70's in the United States.
