Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper I use a feminist corpomaterial lens to examine how students are shaped by and shape their education. The analysis, based on individual and group interviews with twelve student teachers, shows how intersectional somatic norms in teacher education produce situations where students feel forced to educate, inform and take responsibility for others’ learning when it comes to knowledge concerning their own identities and/or social justice issues. The educational assemblages examined impact both the education and participants. I discuss how the created concept of ‘becoming carving-bodies’ might enhance the understanding of student experiences. Becoming carving-bodies entails, for example, acts of caring for oneself and for others. However, it can also drain students’ energy and limit students’ chances of developing and learning. Furthermore, students may need to avoid appearing too emotional in order to be taken seriously.
期刊介绍:
Gender and Education grew out of feminist politics and a social justice agenda and is committed to developing multi-disciplinary and critical discussions of gender and education. The journal is particularly interested in the place of gender in relation to other key differences and seeks to further feminist knowledge, philosophies, theory, action and debate. The Editors are actively committed to making the journal an interactive platform that includes global perspectives on education, gender and culture. Submissions to the journal should examine and theorize the interrelated experiences of gendered subjects including women, girls, men, boys, and gender-diverse individuals. Papers should consider how gender shapes and is shaped by other social, cultural, discursive, affective and material dimensions of difference. Gender and Education expects articles to engage in feminist debate, to draw upon a range of theoretical frameworks and to go beyond simple descriptions. Education is interpreted in a broad sense to cover both formal and informal aspects, including pre-school, primary, and secondary education; families and youth cultures inside and outside schools; adult, community, further and higher education; vocational education and training; media education; and parental education.
