Dear All, Dave exactly expresses what makes me feel uneasy about the discussion on education, if we forget that education and also the fine arts (not to say that the combination may multiply the effect) are specific means to formulate distinction between groups, than we are in the danger to act quite naively, so as Dave has argued: there is no pedagogical solution to education. This is especially so if you are working as I do in a postgraduate program (in Curating), because all these programs are expensive. So I am not very interested in pedagogy at all if this is not related to other changes. In that respect I can understand that people doubt an “educational turn” or think it may be a farce. Only if we as cultural producer take the responsibility that we can at least a little bit argue for a change in society through the “ideological state apparatus” we have access to, but in combination with other political manifestations, only then can we begin to think about a specific education that could enable people to act as political subjects.
