The archaeology of knowledge

Although narrative inquiry has a long intellectual history both in and out of education, it is increasingly used in studies of educational experience. One theory in educational research holds that humans are storytelling organisms who, individually and socially, lead storied lives. Thus, the study of narrative is the study of the ways humans experience the world. This general concept is refined into the view that education and educational research is the construction and reconstruction of personal and social stories; learners, teachers, and researchers are storytellers and characters in their own and other's stories. In this paper we briefly survey forms of narrative inquiry in educational studies and outline certain criteria, methods, and writing forms, which we describe in terms of beginning the story, living the story, and selecting stories to construct and reconstruct narrative plots. Certain risks, dangers, and abuses possible in narrative studies are discussed. We conclude by describing a two-part r...

Examining the relationship between language and literacy and the societal experiences that help shape it, this political and polemical book builds on the author's previous work in reader-response criticism and challenges the now dominant assumption that language is an individual transaction independent of any social context. Moving through a series of interrelated essays, David Bleich explores topics including the social psychology of men, which he maintains exerts undue influence on everyone's education; conceptions of knowledge now offered by feminist epistemologists; social conceptions of language and knowledge found in the work of G.H. Mead, L.S. Vygotsky, Ludwik Fleck, and Mikhail Bakhtin; the influence of gender on language use; the views of current thinkers on the social character of the classroom and academic communities; and the process of individual language development.

Pedagogy as the Exchange of Language The childhood acquisition of language takes place in a teaching situation: a child living among older people and hearing the language from (some say) before birth.1 Sometimes the child is told how to say things; sometimes others hear new formulations by the child. Often they are humorous as they are permutations of what older people say. Others repeat these permutations as stories about the child or in new situations. From the earliest moments of its use, language is being exchanged: offered, repeated, re-offered, constituting a relationship. The actual words and phrases are taken from others, put into new contexts, sometimes changed, and then repeated. Although it may not seem that way to adults, the teaching and learning of language is mutual, collective, and reciprocal, as well as individual. It is neither just reciprocal nor just individual but both. The school/college subject of language use includes pedagogy. To use the language means to teach and to learn it. Most parts of the academy, however, by tradition and through its practices of classical values, have separated “knowledge” of anything from the pedagogical practices that pass it on. Thomas Kuhn noticed this fact in his influential Structure of Scientific Revolutions in 1962. The teaching of science, he observed, takes place through its presentation in declarative textbooks that portray knowledge as fixed. Students learn established “scientific law.” However, the practice of science, especially its “revolutionary” investigations, is subjunctive, uncertain, and depend-
