Description
Literacy, Power, and the Schooled Body: Learning in Time and Space
This book explores how teachers' practices shape schooled and literate students, focusing on early childhood classrooms. It examines the ways in which children's bodies are disciplined to become literate, using photographs, lesson transcripts, interviews, and children's work.
Working from a Foucaultian premise, the author offers practical examples of how teachers' practices can be thought about and reflected upon, with the aim of improving classroom practice and understanding the complex relationships between discipline, bodies, and literacy in time and space.
