Expanding Curriculum Theory

Expanding Curriculum Theory Dis/Positions and Lines of Flight

Expanding Curriculum Theory, Second Edition carries through the major focus of the 2004 edition—to reflect on the influence of Deleuze and Guattari's concept of "lines of flight" and its application to curriculum theorizing. What is different is that the lines of flight have since shifted and produced expanded understandings of this concept for curriculum theory and for education in general. This edition reflects the impact of events that have contributed to this shift, in particular the logic of No Child Left Behind, and the continued explosion of social media and its effect on the collective understanding of how both "knowledge" and "education" work as forms of repression. New and exciting scholarship is presented on a range of topics including but not limited to notions of desire and commodities, youth culture and violence, new directions in curriculum theory, Zizek, Deleuze and curriculum, Eco Ethical consciousness, new Deleuzian views of normality, new notions of the diffusion of technology and lines of flight in transnational curriculum inquiry.
