Rezension: "Bildung dekonstruieren: Grenzgänge im Anschluss an die poststrukturalistische Bildungsphilosophie" von Robert Wartmann

Abstract

In his monograph, Robert Wartmann provides an educational-theoretical-poststructuralist excerpt on the concept of education on more than 300 pages and in a total of five segments. Four poststructuralist approaches to education theory, which contain a plea for difference, are examined in more detail in order to investigate the extent to which the poststructuralist plea for difference has been reflected in educational theories since the rethinking in the 1980s. The different approaches are analyzed, critically questioned and at the same time brought into a productive exchange with each other. To illustrate this, three moments of irritation (nationalism, subject decentration and the crisis of representation) are singled out, on the basis of which existing strands of educational theory are critically updated in the sense of post-structuralism. The extent to which the author has succeeded in doing this in his publication is discussed in this review.
