David W. Kupferman & Andrew Gibbons 
Childhood, Science Fiction, and Pedagogy [PDF ebook] 
Children Ex Machina

الدعم

This book invites readers to both reassess and reconceptualize definitions of childhood and pedagogy by imagining the possibilities – past, present, and future – provided by the aesthetic turn to science fiction. It explores constructions of children, childhood, and pedagogy through the multiple lenses of science fiction as a method of inquiry, and discusses what counts as science fiction and why science fiction counts.

 

The book examines the notion of relationships in a variety of genres and stories; probes affect in the convergence of childhood and science fiction; and focuses on questions of pedagogy and the ways that science fiction can reflect the status quo of schooling theory, practice, and policy as well as offer alternative educative possibilities. Additionally, the volume explores connections between children and childhood studies, pedagogy and posthumanism. The various contributors use science fiction as the frame of reference through which conceptual links between inquiry and narrative, grounded in theories of media studies, can be developed.

David W. Kupferman is an Assistant Professor of Social Foundations of Education at Minnesota State University Moorhead. He is interested in employing trans-disciplinary methods that engage with socio-cultural constructions of pedagogy and why they matter. Recent writings have put forward poststructural and pop cultural critiques of neoliberal education reforms and the ways in which contemporary educational discourse and policy legitimize or delegitimize particular schooling subjectivities. His first book,
Disassembling and Decolonizing School in the Pacific: A Genealogy from Micronesia, is available from Springer as part of their Contemporary Philosophies and Theories in Education Series (Vol. 5), and was nominated for a Critics Choice Award by the American Educational Studies Association in 2013. He has published articles in
