Summary: " Expanding Curriculum Theory, Second Edition carries through the major focus of the original volume - to reflect on the influence of Deleuze and Guattari's concept of "lines of flight" and its application to curriculum theorizing. What is different is that the lines of flight have since shifted and produced expanded understandings of this concept for curriculum theory and for education in general. This edition reflects the impact of events that have contributed to this shift, in particular the (il)logic of school policy changes and reforms in the past decade, and the continued explosion of social media and its effect on the collective understanding of how both "knowledge" and "education" work as forms of repression. The introduction updates the text and puts it into current debates in the field and in the larger socio-economic millieu. New dis/positions are presented that explore central questions circulating within and outside of curriculum studies. Exciting scholarship on a range of topics includes notions of desire and commodities, youth culture and violence, new directions in curriculum theory, eco-ethical consciousness, new Deleuzian views of normality, the diffusion of technology, and lines of flight in transnational curriculum inquiry." -- Provided by publisher.
