This book focuses on Foucault's later work and his (re)turn to ‘the hermeneutics of the subject', exploring the implications of his thinking for education, pedagogy, and related disciplines. What and who is the subject of education and what are the forms of self-constitution ? Chapters investigate Foucault's notion of ‘the culture of self' in relation to questions concerning truth (parrhesia or free speech) and subjectivity, especially with reference to the literary genres of confession and biography, and the contemporary political forms of individualization (governmentality).

Subjectivity and Truth - Foucault, Education, and the Culture of Self

Although the concept of "development education" has been widely adopted, the term is still not widely understood. With the advent of globalization, the knowledge economy, and, in particular, the formulation of the World Bank's "knowledge for development" strategy and the UNDP's "creative economy", development issues have become a central part of education and education has become central to development. It is time to reassess the standard development education paradigm and to investigate the possibilities that take into account emerging trends. The New Development Paradigm, written by international authorities, focuses on three related themes : education, the knowledge economy and openness ; social networking, new media and social entrepreneurship in education ; and technology, innovation and participatory networks.
