Political and Aesthetic Equality in the Work of Jacques Rancière: Applying his Writing to Debates in Education and the Arts

This paper draws on insights from Jacques Rancière's writing on politics and aesthetics to offer new perspectives on debates in education and the arts. The paper addresses three debates in turn; the place of contemporary art in schools and gallery education, the role of art in democratic education and the blurring of boundaries between participatory art and community education. I argue that Rancière's work helps to illuminate some essentialist assumptions behind dichotomous arguments about contemporary art in the classroom—both over‐hyped claims about its value, and exaggerated fears about its threat to educational values alike. On democratic education I argue that his work highlights the importance of the aesthetic dimensions of democratic learning and, on art and community education, I issue caution against readings of Rancière's work that frame his contribution as a ‘rehabilitation‘ of the aesthetic. Although each debate is tackled discretely, the paper advances the overall argument that attention to equality in Rancière's work—both aesthetic and political—is vital when applying his philosophy to debates that occupy the boundaries of education, politics and art.     

Creativity and Technology; industrial design education for manufacturing industry—the Napier experience

Product innovation in an era of dynamic technology emphasises the need to recognise that success in the marketplace can only be achieved when the interdependence of engineering and industrial design together with other relevant disciplines is recognised. The highly interdisciplinary and integrated approach at Napier College, now providing honours graduates in Industrial Design (Technology), develops the required form of graduate expertise for 'innovative teams' in manufacturing-based industry. Graduates are able to work with both engineers and commercial experts on equal terms and in that relationship to contribute their essential impact to successful product development.

The Path Not Taken

In a response to critics, R.S. Peters acknowledged that a more general concept of education exists than the ‘school-related’ one he analysed and defended his decision to ignore it by saying that it ‘indiscriminately’ marks out the ‘mundane, instrumentally oriented operations’ involved in rearing children. In this paper I sketch in the portion of the educational landscape that Peters left out of the picture. Once seen, it becomes apparent not only that he staked out just one small part of a vast domain but also that he rendered invisible some of the most basic philosophical issues and problems that confront humankind.     

SEX AS PREDICTIVE OF SALARY AND STATUS ON A UNIVERSITY FACULTY

An investigation of the existence and extent of sex-based inequities in rank and pay on a University faculty yielded several suggestions of discrimination against women. Data on professional experience, publications, honors, rank and pay were collected by means of a questionnaire distributed to 372 faculty members. Within a sample of 128 who answered all requisite items, sex added significantly to the predictability of salary beyond that achieved by multiple measures of merit and experience, including mean salary for rank and department. Sex itself did not predict rank or a measure designed to reflect speed of advancement through the ranks. Terms reflecting interactions of sex and merit were capable of improving prediction of all three status measures, however, suggesting differences in the reward structure for the sexes.     

Pursuing Truth in Narrative Research

In substituting aesthetic criteria for the time-honoured yardsticks of reliability, validity and generalization, narrative researchers are sometimes criticized for devaluing the notion of truth. This paper suggests that what is an issue here is not so much empirical quantitative truth as rather artistic literary truth. The latter notion of truth is characterized in terms of ‘authenticity’ and the ramifications of authentic truth for narrative research are posited and explored. Only such an understanding of truth and the resolve seriously to apply it will garner narrative researchers the epistemic respectability they seek.
