Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper I discuss the possibility of the idea of emancipation within an educational philosophy that does not accept schooling as its first premise. The first part of the paper will take Sweden as an example of an educational state defined through educational policies such as life long learning, accountability and evidence-based research, and argue that these words are only meaningful within the myth of schooling and not in a language of education/emancipation. The second part of the paper discusses different but related conceptions of emancipation by exploring its ambiguous nature. In the third part of the paper I specify the role and place of emancipation within a philosophy of education that seeks to articulate its social value.

The immigrant has no proper name : The disease of consensual democracy within the myth of schooling

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article I discuss the role of the immigrant in Swedish society and especially how such a role is construed through what I call the myth of schooling, that is, the normalization of an arbitrary distribution of wealth and power. I relate this myth to the idea of consensual democracy as it is expressed through an implicit idea of what it means to be Swedish. I not only critique the processes through which immigrants are discriminated against or excluded from Swedish society but also try to shift the understanding of the conditions under which such exclusion is possible in the first place. Being Swedish is that which the immigrant is not. What I argue and give examples of is that the 'no name' immigrant becomes a possibility for democracy to happen when he or she claims his or her presence in the demos, in such a way as to make evident a split in the self-understanding of a purely consensual Swedish democracy. In the article I argue that what is needed in order to go beyond the myth of schooling, is a pedagogy of dissensus contesting the normalizing of an unequal social order by making it contingent.

The ontology of learning, or teaching the non-person to learn
- 2015

Ingår i: Interacções. - : Escola Superior de Educacao de Santarem. - 1646-2335. ; 11:3t, s. 66-82

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article we explore some consequences of present day obsession with “learning” and how such obsession seems to make perfect sense for an education exclusively aiming at making a living in a neo-liberal economy. Instead of celebrating the economical aspects of learning, we highlight the importance of building democratic capacities in an ever changing world by taking education back to the public. The perspectives offered in this article are to be considered as theoretical and critical contributions to the discussion about current educational circumstances, in which discourses of learning seem to dominate the entire field of education.
