Sinopsis

For over two decades, philosopheráTysonáE.áLewisáhas produced an impressive and sprawling body of work organized around the pursuit of alternative forms of educational life. By doing so, heâÇÖs staged radical interventions in fields such as educational philosophy, aesthetics, political theory, and cultural studies, inventing new theoretical vocabularies and pedagogical practices to disrupt and suspend systems of oppression and exploitation. Reading and rewriting authors from diverse political orientations in surprising and unique ways,áLewisácharts constellations of educational concepts and protocols that move beyond the dominant organization of our lives and our world.ááAs Stefano Harney and Fred Moten wrote once, 'Lewisáprepares us to improvise by showing us how [...] we already do just that.' In this first collection of his previously unpublished lectures,áEducational Potentialitiesáprovides an opening for all of us-as organizers and educators, theorists and artists-to access and engage the revolutionary potentialities present in every moment.'Educational Potentialitiesáoffers expansive alternativesátoámarketized, deterministic educational thought and practice.áLewisâÇÖ talks invite critical educators to courageously delight in the possibilities of curiosity, unknowability, and distraction. As Derek FordâÇÖs brilliant introduction reminds us, we need more than critique to transform learning spaces,áEducational Potentialitiesápresents teachers and theorists with ways we can move towards risky, joyful, and open educational encounters.'- Khuram Hussain, Associate Professor of Education, Middlebury College'LewisâÇÖ talks offer an alternative view of education as a site of revolutionary potential. Refusing the economic and productive functions of educational practice under capitalism, he instead envisions education as a set of critically imaginative activities capable of challenging racism, sexism, and classism. Lewis is a generous guide through discourses of educational philosophy, drawing on examples that organizers, cultural workers, popular educators-or anyone frustrated with the limits of humanist and capitalist models-will find helpful.'- Sarah Louise Cowan, Assistant Professor of Art History, DePauw University
