Untethering Educational Leadership: Cases and Contexts from Chinese Cinema


Add your own review!

Overview

"Lingdao, the Chinese word for leadership, is rarely used to denote acts of social persuasion that occur outside of contexts of formal rank or status. However, the ubiquity of informal leadership in China raises a number of practical and theoretical questions. Based on an analysis of selected Chinese cinematic works depicting settings of educational practice and policy, the book explores how ""Western"" understandings of leadership emerge from these texts to form discursive media for social change. It also offers a new understanding of lingdao and leadership; how they represent a natural human desire, regardless of formal rank or position, to mobilize collective will, change minds, and achieve social change. The book will be of interest to professional scholars and graduate students of Chinese culture, educational leadership, mass media, and popular culture."

Reviews

”In this book, Ma and Shouse open new windows into the study of all leadership, but particularly educational leadership. Applying innovative and modern approaches to old problems, they question basic assumptions and leave the reader with entirely new insights. Masterfully researched, probing, compelling, this book combines the very best of what these accomplished “scholar practitioners” have to offer – a complex and unique understanding of different cultural approaches to leadership combined with a rich knowledge of extant research and a love of cinema. Highly sophisticated, yet easy to read and intensely engaging, this book is indispensable for all those who care about leadership. Its messages are not easily forgotten.“ Jacqueline A. Stefkovich, Ed.D., J.D. Professor Emerita, Educational Leadership & Policy Studies, The Pennsylvania State University, U.S.A.
