On the Politics of Self-Identity Practices in the Risk Society

Description

The book consists mostly of a collection of my previous texts already published in journals and my books. In that book I’ve scratched problem of self-realisation practices in the risk society which refers to contemporary pedagogies in the context of deep dispute with the neoliberal interpretation of educational discourse. The collection of essays touches the situation of theoretical turn in the field of education and consists the entry to the considerations upon the self-identity practices in the risk society. The thematic scope of these essays includes the realisation of the critical discourse analysis approach as the methodological application upon educational discourse view. The leitmotif in this collection is the dispute with neoliberal interpretation of education as the hegemony of the cultural approach to education. In these essays I refer to the considerations upon social pedagogies and cultural practices in the process of identity construction. In texts I have proposed considerations upon life politics, instant pedagogy and social pedagogy comes from the mindfulness movement. I have tried to show the theoretical and genealogy approach to dispute of education.
