Abstract

Book Jason Wallin (2010) A Deleuzian Approach to Curriculum: Essays on a Pedagogical Life, London and New York: Palgrave Macmillan. As a field rather than a discipline, education is potentially an interdisciplinary space capable of formulating new lines of thought that traverse the boundaries of the social sciences and humanities. Work in education also potentially serves as a venue for a radical form of pragmatism in terms of its direct impact on people's lives ­ an aspect of the field that one might think would lead to a greater consideration of education and learning within contemporary political thought. Unfortunately, however, these potentially exciting and important aspects of the field do not often come to fruition. More often than not, the field of education is the home of rigidly conservative work that contributes towards the reproduction of an image of pedagogical life prescribed by the increasingly homogenised, instrumentalised and test-focused interests of local schools and administrators. In higher education the field is becoming increasingly weighted down by the dictates of the neoliberal marketplace and schizo-capitalism that force schools of education to become sites for the creation of flexible labour (that is, teachers) trained under the mind-numbing mantra of `skills
