9781138675261 1138675261 From drugging kids into attention and reviving behaviorism to biometric measurements of teaching and learning Scripted Bodies exposes a brave new world of education in the age of repression. Scripted Bodies examines how corporeal control has expanded in education, how it impacts the mind and thinking, and the ways that new technologies are integral to the expansion of control. Scripted Bodies contends that this rise in repression must be understood in relation to the broader economic, political, and cultural forces that have produced an increasingly authoritarian society. This book details how these new forms ofcorporeal control shut down the possibility of public schools developing as places where thinking becomes the organizing principle needed to contribute to a more equal, just, and democratic society., Institutions and public policy have embraced ever more repressive controls over the physical space of schools that now include arrests of young children, prison technologies, metal detectors, arming teachers, drugging students, biometric tracking systems, 'close-captioned' TV surveillance systems, Zero Tolerance, and military personnel recruited to teach and lead. These spaces of control are accompanied by repressive pedagogies that not only standardize the curriculum, time, and space of school but also control the bodies of youth and teachers. Scripted Bodies contends that this rise in repression must be understood in relation to the broader economic, political, and cultural forces that have produce an increasingly authoritarian society. This book details how these new forms of corporeal control shut down the possibility of public schools developing as places where critical thinking becomes the organizing principle needed to contribute to a more equal, just, and democratic society. Moreover, Scripted Bodies examines how this corporeal control has expanded in education, how it impacts the mind and thinking, and the ways that different technologies are integral to these new expressions of control.
