Civilising Desire

Appel, Stephen

These essays focus on the relationship between curriculum and literacy, and hence between literacy studies and curriculum theorizing. The informing thesis is that language, "writing" and the symbolic order are crucial considerations for understanding curriculum and schooling. This is explored via specific studies in curriculum politics and history, rhetoric, language and literacy education, media studies and educational linguistics. The book provides a forum for what are often two distinct enterprises: literary research and curriculum studies. It brings researchers together from Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States in a common critical re-assessment of the curriculum-literacy nexus. It is aimed at BA / MEd lecturers and students in literacy studies and linguistics, curriculum studies, education researchers and sociologists of education.
