Dialectical materialism
“Dialectic Materialism as a Method of Doing Education” - was written over 30 years ago by one of us – Huebner. Following an interesting dialogue we had over the last years, Dwayne suggested co-re-writing a revised piece to be published under both names. It explores at greater length the ideas that structured the initial piece and offers new avenues toward a better understanding of the importance of dialectical materialism as an alternative way to…
The generation of the utopia
Drawing on Pepetela’s novel The Generation of Utopia, the article situates and dissects the role of a group of intellectuals within a radical critical curriculum river, working towards a more just society and education, and enhancing a utopian generation. The article emphasizes the erroneous persistence of intellectuals associated with such generation in working fundamentally within a Modern Western Eurocentric platform; it underlines how the bat…
Did Covid-19 exist before the scientists?’ Towards curriculum theory now
We live in an era that normalized absurdism and abnormality. From successive devastating economic and environmental havoc, the world is now before a pandemic with a lethal footprint throughout the planet. The pandemonium became global. This paper situates the current COVID-19 pandemic within the context of an endless multi-plethora of devastating sagas pushing humanity into an unimaginable great regression. In doing so, the paper examines, how su…
Against the scandal
Purpose Keeping Spivak’s essay “Can the Subaltern Speak?” in mind, the purpose of this paper is to examine the itinerant curriculum theory (ICT) as a subaltern momentum unveiling how ICT informs subaltern ways of being and thus, potentially, the research lens for qualitative approaches. In this context, the paper examines how curriculum as an ideological devise produces an epistemicide – the killing of knowledge – an epistemological havoc cooked …
Towards a Just Curriculum Theory
Global Financial Crisis and educational restructuring
“Financialisation” is a term that describes an economic system or process that attempts to reduce all value that is exchanged (whether tangible, intangible, future, or present promises, etc.) either into a financial instrument or a derivative of a financial instrument. The original intent of financialization is to be able to reduce any work product or service to an exchangeable financial instrument. It is an aspect of increased symbolization, mat…
Globalisms and Power
Unaccomplished Utopia
This book is an imperative read. It presents a powerful set of challenging and straightforward analyses of the current neo-Rightist attack on Higher Education and the Public Sphere in the European Union by The Bologna Process. In an era of Public Education characterized by a fl ood of magical neoliberal solutions, this volume exposes the real political aims behind the illusions created by the Bologna Process. Sans euphemisms, Joao Paraskeva and h…
O nome, a coisa… e o currículo
Com base nos pensamentos radicais críticos de Michael Moore (2001) e José Saramago (2003) - entre outros - para quem as relações de concubinato entre os Estados e os grupos económicos têm promovido uma plataforma democrática redutora e - por isso - suicida, avançamos neste artigo com uma proposta de análise, não só em torno das nefastas implicações de alguns dos recortes do 'pervertido' modelo democrático ocidental - no qual a lógica mercantilist…
