Poststructuralism and Educational ResearchAuthor(s): Michael A. Peters, Nicholas C. Burbules\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, United States\nImprint: Rowman & Littlefield\nISBN-13: 9780847691203, 978-0847691203\nSynopsis\nPoststructuralism, and its implications for something called \""postmodernism,\"" is a major topic of discussion in social theory and research generally, including educational research. The works of the major authors in this tradition (Foucault, Lyotard, Cixous, Derrida, Haraway, to name a few) are challenging and difficult. Yet more and more theorists and researchers in educational scholarship use this term to describe their work. What does poststructuralism mean for these authors, and what significance does it have for educational inquiry?\n\nThis book takes on these central questions and explores the impact of poststructuralism in language that makes the basic issues at stake accessible for a broad readership. Michael Peters and Nichola.
