Overview

"The 21st century is steeped in claims to interconnection, technological innovation, and new affective intensities amid challenges to the primacy and centrality of ""the human"". Flashpoint epistemology attends to the lived difficulties that arise in teaching, policymaking, curriculum, and research among continuous practices of differentiation, and for which there is no pre-existing template for judgment, resolution, or action. Flashpoint Epistemology Volume 2 brings creative sociopolitical research perspectives to flashpoints that emerge amid appeals to globalization, synoptic policy approaches, and new technologies – however defined. The chapters challenge prevailing notions of distance and difference, comparative philosophy, worlding practices, and contact zones. In the remaking of subjects, the unhoming of geopolitics, and new approaches to relationality, youth, and classrooms, complexities in preserving and questioning identity are laid bare and renovated. How technologies challenge and redefine racialization, engendering, and inter/nationalization are examined amid the reworking of oppression, success, well-being, politics, method, and power. The volume will be beneficial for researchers seeking new approaches to education’s complexities, nested discourses, and ever-moving horizons of enactment. It is also a key text for post/graduate students and teachers interested in technological impact, globality, policymaking, and new ways of conducting research in contexts of digitalization and social media."

"""AI, Brainco technology, ChatGPT, genetic engineering... with the dramatic change of human life, what kind of future human beings are we supposed to become? What kind of social imagination can we conceive? What kind of education could be more relevant to future generations? What kind of methods or methodologies can we use to address these questions? Flashpoint Epistemology, as a creative methodology against traditional and totalized epistemologies, provides possibilities for connecting and analyzing complicated phenomena and issues between the boundaries of curriculum, education, ethics, morals, technologies, cutting-edge science, religions, politics, and arts. The chapters in this book series presents different interdisciplinary flashpoints, emerging like the butterfly effect, which might become a storm in the curriculum field in reimagining and reshaping the landscape of curriculum and education for the future. This book series evokes a new paradigm of curriculum studies, from “understanding curriculum (Pinar, 1995)” to “liberating curriculum for the future”, and calls for our involvement to conceive and transform education and human futures together."" -Prof. Wenjun ZHANG, College of Education, Zhejiang University."
