This book examines, within the context and concerns of education, Foucaults reflections on friendship in his 1981 interview Friendship as a Way of Life. In the interview, Foucault advances the notion of a homosexual ascesis based on experimental friendships, proposing that homosexuality can provide the conditions for inventing new relational forms that can engender a homosexual culture and ethics, a way of life, not resembling institutionalized codes for relating. The contributors to this volume draw from Foucaults reflections on ascesis and friendship in order to consider a range of topics and issues related to critical studies of sexualities and genders in education. Collectively, the chapters open a dialogue for researchers, scholars, and educators interested in exploring the importance and relevance of Foucaults reflections on friendship for studies of schooling and education.
Recenzijas
For researchers, the collection provides insightful theoretical backing for research on school and university cultures in which ascesis presents or absents itself. Further, the essays thoughtfully consider the ways in which ascesis as friendship may disrupt existing heteronormative dynamics or potentially reenact exclusionary practices.
