Between Borders: Pedagogy and the Politics of Cultural Studies - Tapa dura

"Between Borders" attempts to strengthen the links between critical pedagogy and cultural practice. This collection of essays describes how cultural practices - as portrayed in film, in sports, and in the classroom itself - enable cultural studies to deepen its own political possibilities and construct diverse geographies of identity, representation and place. The book is organized around three related themes: the relationship between pedagogy and media literacy; the intersection of critical pedagogy with issues concerning postmodernism, race, the politics of desire and post-colonialism; and the question of representation with respect to the relationship between popular culture, the arts and the state.
