Education and the Fantasies of Neoliberalism is a thought-provoking book that reignites conversations about the nature and purpose of education in a global context marked by concerns about quality and equity. It reflects broader economic and political anxieties about declining productivity and social inclusion. The book showcases how Lacanian psychoanalytic theory provides a valuable framework for exposing and critiquing the fantasmatic nature of policy and practice, while simultaneously highlighting the tensions and contradictions they attempt to conceal.
In particular, the book delves into the contentious but often disavowed politics of reform in education by drawing on concepts such as lack, fantasy, and desire from Lacanian psychoanalytic theory. By employing these theoretical lenses, the book offers unique insights that challenge and contest the simplistic and often trivializing interpretations of education in contemporary media and political debates.
This book is a valuable contribution to the fields of philosophy of education and educational policy and politics. It will appeal to academics, researchers, and post-graduate students who are interested in exploring the complex and multifaceted dynamics of education policy reform. The book's novel perspective and rigorous analysis provide a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the deeper implications of education policies and practices on individuals, communities, and society as a whole.
