Critical Education in the New Information Age (1999)
Filed under book | Tags: · capitalism, education, information society, information technology, neoliberalism, pedagogy, postmodernism
Essays by some of the world’s leading educators provide a revolutionary portrait of new ideas and developments in education that can influence the possibility of social and political change.
The authors take into account such diverse terrain as feminism, ecology, media, and individual liberty in their pursuit of new ideas that can inform the fundamental practice of education and promote a more humane civil society. The book consolidates recent thinking just as it reflects on emerging new lines of critical theory.
Editors Manuel Castells, Ramón Flecha, Paulo Freire, Henry A. Giroux, Donaldo Macedo, and Paul Willis

Sean Cubitt: Videography: Video Media as Art and Culture (1993)
Filed under book | Tags: · aesthetics, avant-garde, cinema, film, postmodernism, television, third cinema, video, video art
“Videography is an attempt to discover the conditions under which it is possible to speak, write and teach about the electronic media. It provides a materialist account of video and computer media as they are practised and used today. A theoretical section tests the claims of various theses in art history, media and cultural theory to account for the variety of video practice in the contemporary scene. The remainder of the book is devoted to close analysis of work, from amateur video to computer graphics.”
