Education and the Fantasies of Neoliberalism
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-13759-9 (ISBN)
The book illustrates how Lacanian psychoanalytic theory offers a conceptual vocabulary for exposing and critiquing the fantasmatic nature of policy and practice, while foregrounding the tensions and contradictions they seek to conceal. Specifically, the book draws on ideas of lack, fantasy and desire from Lacanian psychoanalytic theory to gain insights into the contentious but disavowed politics of reform in education. The book builds on cutting-edge work in political and psychoanalytic theory to offer unique insights that challenge and contest the simplistic and often trivializing readings of education in contemporary media and political debates.
Offering a novel perspective on education policy reform, this book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of philosophy of education and educational policy and politics.
Matthew Clarke is Professor of Education at York St John University and has taught and researched at universities in Australia, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. His psychoanalytically informed work in critical policy studies offers unique and distinctive insights into recent developments in education.
