A Lacanian Theory of Curriculum in Higher EducationCritique: Between Theory and Method

A Lacanian Theory of Curriculum in Higher Education: Critique: Between Theory and Method [This chapter proposes a method of psychoanalytic critique of curriculum. This critique considers the ways in which the ego mediates symptomatically between the demands for adaptation, resistance, and change.

Abstract

[This chapter proposes a method of psychoanalytic critique of curriculum. This critique considers the ways in which the ego mediates symptomatically between the demands for adaptation, resistance, and change. The examination of curricular discourse as symptom carries particular significance for the understanding of the processes of self-discovery and formation. The chapter is organized in three sections. The first one offers a discussion of a general concept of critique. The second one delves into central tenets of Lacanian psychoanalysis and attempts the development of an apparatus of elements for a psychoanalytic critique of curriculum. The chapter closes with a discussion of implications of such form of critique for the conceptualization and investigation of curriculum as a form of educational research.]
