It uses empirical data, case studies, and ethnographic motifs to identify the discursive construction of creativity and how it is embedded in narratives of progress in cultural policy. The volume argues that education policy and cultural policy are neoliberalized and that creativity is shaped in schools by regulative schooling systems, but ultimately identifies how individuals enact creative practices that subvert and disrupt neoliberal narratives and limited appropriations. It is of interest to researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in education policy, creativity studies, and education politics, as well as those interested in arts education and intersections between education and the writings of Foucault and Agamben. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 170 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 04 October 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate relationship between cultural and educational policies and the construction of creativity. Through a rigorous analysis of various concepts, it challenges the narrow notion of creativity as solely experienced by individuals within society and presents a more expansive understanding. The book employs empirical data, case-study examples, and ethnographic motifs to unveil the discursive processes that shape creativity, highlighting how these discourses are intertwined with narratives of progress in cultural policy. Additionally, it incorporates auto-ethnographic perspectives and applies a rich conceptualization of Foucault and Agamben's work to address contemporary questions and issues in education, alongside recent policies and lived experiences of teachers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume explores the concepts of both fixed and expansive creativity, arguing that education policy and cultural policy are increasingly neoliberalized. It identifies how regulative schooling systems shape creativity within schools, yet also reveals how individuals engage in creative practices that challenge and disrupt neoliberal narratives and limited appropriations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book holds immense value for researchers, academics, and postgraduate students engaged in the fields of education policy, creativity studies, and education politics. It also appeals to those with an interest in arts education and in the intersections between education and the writings of Foucault and Agamben. By offering a profound and thought-provoking examination of the dynamics between cultural and educational policies, this book provides valuable insights into the complex processes that shape creativity and its implications for society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 489g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032120478\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KevinGormley","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44636219932922,"sku":"9781032120478","price":151.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_d74331b5-df83-4288-9e8c-91d90ea878b5.jpg?v=1697285728","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/perspectives-on-the-place-of-creativity-in-education-policy-and-practice-limitations-and-open-spaces-9781032120478","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
