That Merry Prankster of postmodernism, Jacques Derrida, introduced the mind altering drug of significant play into theoretical culture's discourse around meaning and text. Like his prankster predecessors, Derrida's mindful but seemingly anarchistic intervention resulted in insight (into the complexity of text in culture) for some, and chaos (in the guise of abject deconstructive relativism) for others. What follows is a compilation of texts that is both mundane and complex.

Revisiting Social Theory In Art Education: Where Have We Been? Where Are We Today? Where Are We Going? Where Could We Go?, Jan Jagodzinski
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The title's spin-off from Gauguin's self-reflective statement: D'où vernons-nouse? Que sommes-raus? Où allons-nous? painted towards the closing of the 19th century when colonialist expansion and Imperialism were at their heights, seems to be an appropriate allusion as this year's 21st Social Caucus journal inaugurates the beginning of a new millennium. The irony of the title should be apparent, as should the fortuitousness of the volume's number. The epic proportions of the questions (and the painting) compressed into the bit size of an editorial seems laughable. Yet the questions are worth deliberating in the context of the essays that have been …
Multicultural Art Education: Deconstructing Images Of Social Reproduction, Donna Alden
Multicultural Art Education: Deconstructing Images Of Social Reproduction, Donna Alden
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Exclusionary practices along with inaccurate and incomplete information have historically been used in the classroom by the dominant White culture as a means to disempower minority youth and widen the chasm between opposite ends of the power structure. Although reproducing the existing power structure may not be a conscious motive of art teachers in the 21st century, many of their actions replicate conditions necessary for domination by the Euro-White culture. Admirably, art educators have a history of being on the cutting edge of innovative ideas and inclusionary practices. The movement to include art from many cultures in art curriculums is …
On Oysters And Other Life Lessons: Art Teacher’S Perceptions Of Social Class And Schooling, Kimberly Cosier
On Oysters And Other Life Lessons: Art Teacher’S Perceptions Of Social Class And Schooling, Kimberly Cosier
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
I had to be taught that the world was not my oyster. As a child I was quite sure that I was destined for a wondrous life of adventure and distinction. I was the first born in my family, the first child, the first grandchild, the first niece; everyone was crazy about me. My mother swears that on the day I was born my father floated across the room, so filled with joy and pride that his feet literally glided above the floor as he held me in his arms for the first time. I realize now that this is …

The Blackwell Summer Arts Program: An Experience In Community Revitalization, Marjorie Cohee Manifold

Like many American cities, Richmond, Virginia is pockmarked by once middle-class neighborhoods that have fallen into decline and are now blighted by decayed and abandoned buildings. Among the more severely depressed areas of Richmond is the historic Blackwell district. Decades ago, in an effort to provide homes for the poorest of Richmond’s citizens, row after row of nondescript, multi-family, brick-faced, public housing units or “projects” were erected in Blackwell. By the end of the 20th century, their boarded windows, crumbling infrastructures, and graffiti covered facades were sad but eloquent monuments to inefficacious governmental policies and the unrelenting poverty and despair …

Naughty Pictures: Their Significance To Initial Sexual Identity Formation, Paul Duncum, Deborah L. Smith-Shank
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This study is about the formation of sexual identity through popular imagery in everyday contexts. Do images with sexual content help inform the development of sexual identity and, if so, in what ways? What is the nature of these images? What values, beliefs, and web of life experiences are revealed through early encounter with such images?

Art, Action Research, And Activism At Artpark, Carole Woodlock, Mary Wyrick
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The authors have an ongoing interest in combining local history, culture, and environmental issues as topics for teaching. As newcomers to western New York, we became fascinated with the story of Artpark in Lewiston, New York. High on the edge of the Niagara Gorge, the site of Artpark has a complicated history that has been enlivened by Native Americans, the French, the British, contemporary artists, senators, toxic waste specialists, visiting art teachers, and local students. The passage and effects of time on nature, art, and culture have been an important influence on art production since the beginning of Artpark in …

Working With People To Make Art: Oral History, Artistic Practice, And Art Education, Dipti Desai
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
In recent years, some contemporary artists have used oral history methods as an integral part of their artistic practice. Oral history emerged in the United States as a distinct historical method with the establishment of the first organized oral history project in 1948 by Alan Nevin at Columbia University in New York. It gradually wrenched itself from its elitist origins of documenting stories of prominent white men to becoming a populist approach that draws attention to ordinary people’s lives, perceptions, and experiences of an event. Based on interviews conducted over a short period of time, oral histories’ primary contribution to …

Swimming Up-Stream In The Jean Pool: Developing A Pedagogy Towards Critical Citizenship In Visual Culture, Kevin Tavin
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
American children and youth live in and through mass media and popular culture. They frequently fashion their sense of history, ideology, and multiple and ever-changing identities through popular visual imagery. These images penetrate and pervade every aspect of our students’ lives in the form of television programs, children’s books, advertisements, movies, comics, toys, cereal boxes, video games, fashion merchandise, sport shoes, fast food paraphernalia, and architectural and public spaces. These images help to shape students’ experiences by capturing their imagination and engaging their desires. These pervasive, immediate, and sometimes ephemeral images often construct students’ consciousness and their sense of citizenship …
