Isi artikel

Education, in its institutionalized form, is one of the crucial sites of cultural production and reproduction in western societies, and thus of central interest to anyone concerned with cultural studies. The fact that that is a commonplace ought not to obscure its importance. English, the curriculum subject, is, in its turn, at the very centre of this institutionalized cultural (re)production. My own immediate background, - cultural studies, broadly, in the highly multi-cultural context of contemporary Australian society - links, for me, with concerns around curriculum through the questions of subjectivity and following from that, questions of community, culture, and polity. I see curriculum at bottom as a matter of design, the design, in individual/psychological terms of a particular subjectivity; in social terms as a design for a social subject; and, in political terms, as a design for the citizen of the future society. If you see curriculum in that light, then of course the questions of possible futures, both for that subject/citizen, and for their society, are immediately on the agenda.
