Post-Unit Thinking Pedagogies

Teaching to Live beyond Categories

by Neriko Musha Doerr ...

Series series Education (R0)
This book offers alternative theoretical approaches and pedagogies that challenge the worldview that divides things/people into bounded categories/units perceived to be internally homogeneous, what it calls “unit thinking” built on the nation-state ideology. Unit thinking is problematic not only because it is inaccurate but also because it encourages an imposition of the “ideal model” (e.g., the ... Read more

The Politics of Incompetence

Learning Language, Relations of Power, and Daily Resistance

by Theresa Austin, Cori Jakubiak, Keiko Konoeda, Yuri Kumagai, Neriko Musha Doerr ...

Rather, it is a constructed state that is productive, working in tandem with its opposite, “competence.” Perception of incompetence/competence works as what Michel Foucault (1977) calls a technology of “normalization” that pushes individuals to aspire to follow a shared norm, while ...

Tinted Glasses, Fetishes, and the Politics of Seeing

by Neriko Musha Doerr ...

Investigating the politics of seeing and its effects, this book draws on Slavoj Žižek’s notion of fetish and Walter Benjamin’s notion of the optical unconscious to offer newer concepts: “tinted glasses”, through which we see the world; “unit-thinking”, which renders the world as consisting of discrete units; and “coherants”, which help fragmented experiences cohere into something intelligible. ...
