The Reality Construction Of Technocratic Rationality Through Dbae, Karen A. Hamblen
The Reality Construction Of Technocratic Rationality Through Dbae, Karen A. Hamblen
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The importance of differentiating between a discipline-based approach to art education and the prescribed DBAE curricular structure and goals presented by the Getty Center for Education in the Arts is developed. It is proposed that the Getty’s reliance on the characteristics of contemporary general education for the theoretical foundations of DBAE is restrictive and contributes to technocratic rationalism in art education, and disallows the development of cultural literacy.
Dbae And Clae: Relevance For Minority And Multicultural Students, Barbara Boyer
Dbae And Clae: Relevance For Minority And Multicultural Students, Barbara Boyer
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The importance of art programming which reflects, and is responsive to the diverse needs of students in a multicultural society is examined. It is argued that the DBAE fails to consider the increasing diversity among the population of our schools in the prescription of standardized and achievement oriented curricula. It is further claimed that CLAE offers an alternative to DBAE which promotes sensitivity to the cultural make-up of our classrooms.
Outsiders And Taboo Subjects: The Horseflies Of Art Education, Karen A. Hamblen
Outsiders And Taboo Subjects: The Horseflies Of Art Education, Karen A. Hamblen
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Both individuals and groups may take on outsider status depending on the extent they deviate from social norms and the extent they act as critics of society. In this paper, the role of art education outsider individuals and groups and the taboo subjects they discuss are examined in relationship to the norms of the policy-making institutions of art education. It is proposed that not only are outsiders necessary for maintain the health and integrity of the field, but also that outsider status might be considered a desired state of being in that it allows individuals to exercise choices and freedoms …
Conference As Ritual: Structures For The Unsavage Mind, Ronald N. Macgregor
Conference As Ritual: Structures For The Unsavage Mind, Ronald N. Macgregor
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Anthropologists like Victor Turner and Edward Bruner focus their attention on the experience of experiencing. Their approach is to make an initial distinction between behavior, which is noted in other people, and experience, which is personally felt. It is a germane distinction, for anthropologists of their persuasion are more inclined to describe how it felt to be there, rather than what went on. Their stance is closer to phenomenology than to ethnography, and their efforts are concentrated on what gave the occasion its special flavor, its extraordinary character. Their approach suits my present purpose admirably, since my question is, What …
Conferences And Communitas: Making Magic Happen… Sometimes, Brent Wilson
Conferences And Communitas: Making Magic Happen… Sometimes, Brent Wilson
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The field of art education hardly qualifies as a tribal society. Nevertheless, there are some “tribal” analogies that might be made as we study our customs and conventions, our mores and mutations, and the sources of our symbols and sillinesses. Indeed, our annual conferences are fitting subjects for anthropological analyses. And although I haven’t filled my sketchbooks with notes and drawings of our National Art Education Association Conventions with ethnographic studies in mind, in retrospect they just might serve that purpose. What do my notes and my memories tell us about these yearly meetings of the tribe? What planned purposes …
Subjective Undercurrents: Humour And The Naea, Harold Pearse
Subjective Undercurrents: Humour And The Naea, Harold Pearse
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The psychological climate of an NAEA conference is a highly variable one. Given the temporal and spatial restrictions, emotions tend to be intense and feelings concentrated. A good deal of what is felt is predictable – after all, conferences are call conventions. But beneath the surface veneer of officiousness, formality, and collegiality, there are subjective undercurrents. The novices experience loneliness, insecurity and feelings of inadequacy being surrounded by “experts” – people whose publications they have read or with whose names they are familiar. The experts may experience anxiety and insecurity as their egos, careers and reputations are exposed to public …
Altered States: Sexuality And The Naea, Cynthia Taylor
Altered States: Sexuality And The Naea, Cynthia Taylor
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
My very first NAEA conference was in San Francisco; I had left the grey, bleak, rock-bound landscape of Nova Scotia far, far behind and I was transported, magically to another world where daisy trees bloomed, where spring was in the air and in my step, where every moment, every corner was rife with potential…Anything could happen! Once in the hotel I realized, immediately, that all around me there were rituals being enacted; cries and murmurs bespoke the onset of familiar and well-beloved rites; men and women gathered, acknowledge one another with calls and cluckings, embraced even while their eyes drifted, …
The Path Of The Initiate: In Search Of The Holy Grail Or Is It The Golden Fleece?, Jan Jagodzinski
The Path Of The Initiate: In Search Of The Holy Grail Or Is It The Golden Fleece?, Jan Jagodzinski
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This was an irreverent/irrelevant staged performance wherein a schizophrenic Voice was presented through a dialogue that answered Itself as It moved from one side of a table to the other, speaking at Itself, sometimes to Itself. The audience was physically separated from the performer in a classical fashion: stage and audience. One end represented the Voice of personal memories as an initiate into conference life; the other end represented the jaded view of a Voice who bitterly questions the entire ritual. A tie was put on and taken off as the performer moved from one side of the table to …
Self-Reflections In Organizations: An Outsider Remarks On Looking At Culture And Lore From The Inside, Michael Owen Jones
Self-Reflections In Organizations: An Outsider Remarks On Looking At Culture And Lore From The Inside, Michael Owen Jones
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
As apparent from the title of my remarks, I am an outsider to this organization. I teach folklore courses at UCLA, which is one of five institutions in North America offering both the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in the study of folklore. I have been asked to speak in this session, in part because I give courses on folk art, aesthetics, fieldwork, and organizational culture and symbolism. As an outsider, as a researcher of organizational culture, and as the final speaker in this session, it seems to be my role to suggest a larger framework of study to which this …
An Open Letter To Members Of The Caucus, Jan Jagodzinski
An Open Letter To Members Of The Caucus, Jan Jagodzinski
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
In the last Caucus Newsletter, we announced the results of the poll about the name of the Bulletin of the Caucus on Social Theory and Art Education. Of thirteen responses received, ten supported the change from Bulletin to Journal. There were six votes against the introduction of an additional word and flavor into the title: two because they did not like the esoteric nature of the suggested word(s); two because they did not want a greater length to the title. One suggested reducing the name to the Bulletin/Journal on Social Theory and Art Education. Of the seven who voted favorably, …

Art, Football And The Politics Of Recognition, Pete Helzer, Helen Liggett
Art, Football And The Politics Of Recognition, Pete Helzer, Helen Liggett
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Richard Brown, Professor of Art History at Pacific Lutheran University, recently published an article synoptically titled "Regionalism, a Tenacious Myth.” Most surprising was that it appeared in Signature, a low budget Northwest arts newspaper out of Seattle, Washington. The appeal of Signature is its plebeian accessibility: descriptive reviews, pragmatic advice on competitions, personality profiles, and an unpretentious gallery guide. For example, it is the perfect place to find the latest word on the Snohomish County Craft Guild. In the differentiation between theory and practice, Signature represented the voice of practice, that is, until Professor Brown's theory piece let down the …
Research For Existential Choice, Karen A. Hamblen
Research For Existential Choice, Karen A. Hamblen
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Chet Bowers (1984) has developed a theory of how a critical consciousness of our cultural typifications can be developed through an in-depth and elaborated understanding of aspects of a given situation or problem. In this paper, his theory is applied to the role research plays in art education. It is proposed that our existential choices in art education are directly proportionate to the amount and complexity of the research we have available and the extent to which we understand and can apply this research for specific purposes. The lack of research in essential instructional areas as well as the lack …

Editor's Statement And Table Of Contents
Editor's Statement And Table Of Contents
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Vince Lanier once said in his inimitably leading way (with that gleam in his eye) that art is what hangs on the walls in the museums and galleries in New York and Los Angeles. Unfortunately, in light of the Art in America syndrome which dominates not only the art community but also seemingly the art education community, the joke may be on you, Vince. You may be right. Art reflects and perpetuates culture as does education. Culture, as an important aspect of human evolution must have a wide gene pool of ideas to maintain the healthy balance necessary for its …
Abstract Expressionism And Art Education: Formalism And Self-Expression As Curriculum Ideology, Kerry Freedman
Abstract Expressionism And Art Education: Formalism And Self-Expression As Curriculum Ideology, Kerry Freedman
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
In the 1940's and 1950's, formalism and self-expression theories about abstract expressionism were incorporated into art education. However, as these products of the art community became a part of curriculum, the social and political foundations of the art and the theories were ignored. A school art style was emphasized that contained only selected elements of Greenberg's formalist analysis of abstract expressionism. Curriculum also contained a reduction of Rosenberg's theory of expressive process to some pseudo-expressive technical characteristics. While the argument is not made that there was a studied and analytical reinterpretation of these critics' theories in school, the theories represented …
Commentary, Jan Jagodzinski
Commentary, Jan Jagodzinski
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The questions Professor Kupffer's article raise concerning the relationship between image and the word, have been, by and large, ignored in modern aesthetic thought. An artificial separation of these two media of expression had been, since the Renaissance, characteristic of western philosophical thought. Leonardo, Cellini and Michelangelo all wrote treatises In order to place art on the same footing as the literati's words. A quick scan of the philosophical record suggests that the deep schism persists between the image and the word which manifests itself as a bifurcation between rationality and irrationality. To name but a few of the more …

Seeking Cultural Understanding: Knowing Through The Art Of The Picturebook As One Of Five Modalities, Rogena M. Degge, Kenneth Marantz
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Caught in the maelstrom of scholarly debate about cross-cultural values, we seek some straws for our intellectual salvation. Groups of theoreticians and practitioners, like schools of fish roiling in the seas, create waves. Some groups, like those who supported the exhibition of Primitive and Modern artifacts at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, are historical revisionists seeking new values through the alleged "influences and affinities" they attempt to demonstrate. Others more mundanely offer youngsters cardboard and paint so they may produce their own Kachina dolls in order to come to grips with the fundamental values of an …
The Interpretation Of Modern Art—What Is Possible When Dealing With The Explication Of Art, Heinrich Kupffer
The Interpretation Of Modern Art—What Is Possible When Dealing With The Explication Of Art, Heinrich Kupffer
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The attempt to interpret modern art comes from different approaches and moves along several lines of thought. Generally speaking, together these approaches leave no doubt that a linguistic explanation is possible and legitimate. This assumption, which forms a bridge between lord and picture, is a decisive, often uncontested problem of aesthetic logic. Spectators should watch out for the traps and fallacies. They may expect that the clear statement a work of art unambiguously makes for them, the unseemingly apparent interpretation of the work, leads back to a lack of understanding of the "real" thoughts and precise statement of the artistic …
Art Educators’ Responsibility To Cultural Diversity: Or “Where Are You Goin Wid Alla My Stuff?”, Kristen G. Congdon
Art Educators’ Responsibility To Cultural Diversity: Or “Where Are You Goin Wid Alla My Stuff?”, Kristen G. Congdon
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The responsibility of art educators to recognize and study the art and context of as many populations as possible is examined in this article. Examples of how artistic expressions have been borrowed, used in different contexts and otherwise removed from their original cultural context are given, and examples of ways that art teachers can help to recognize origins and the artistic functions of many cultures are suggested. By placing art in its context and studying it as it changes, students may begin to understand the artistic source, appreciate the importance of the creative context, and begin to see multi-cultural dimensions …

Aesthetic Socialization And The Young Child, Sally Hagaman
Aesthetic Socialization And The Young Child, Sally Hagaman
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
An examination of the process of aesthetic socialization at the preschool level reveals communication, through direct and indirect teacher behaviors and classroom environment, of "taken for granted" aesthetic assumptions. Examples, such as the use of naturalism or realism as the major criterion for judging art and reinforcement of social skills like diligence and neatness through art activities, are examined in light of educationist and teacher contexts. Implications include the need for examination of aesthetic assumptions and their transmission by art educators who work with young children, train teachers, and/or plan art curricula.
Another Look At The Aesthetics Of The Popular Arts, Edward G. Lawry
Another Look At The Aesthetics Of The Popular Arts, Edward G. Lawry
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
About twenty years ago, Abraham Kaplan delivered a lively and memorable paper to the American Philosophical Association on the aesthetics of the popular arts. Appearing during the heyday of formalist criticism of the arts in America, the clear condemnation of the popular arts in his opening paragraph surprised no one. But many things have happened in the last twenty years to make us want to rethink the casual identification of popular art with "dis-value" that Kaplan takes for granted: the rise in popularity of folk music, the transformation of rock and roll by the Beatle's and others, the advent of …
Understanding Popular Culture: The Uses And Abuses Of Fashion Advertising, Mary Stokrocki
Understanding Popular Culture: The Uses And Abuses Of Fashion Advertising, Mary Stokrocki
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Today's young people are bombarded by messages. They should be taught to evaluate what they hear, to understand how ideas are clarified or distorted, and to explore how the accuracy and reliability of an oral (visual) message can be tested (Boyer, 1983, p.92). Students are often manipulated by media messages and they are unaware of the uses and abuses of the media by advertisers. In many ways such manipulation makes students dependent on materialistic rewards, regardless of moral concern. As a remedy, Lanier (1966) advocates developing a critical consciousness, "an informed awareness of the social forces which oppress our lives." …

Toward An Aesthetic Androgynous Mentality In Society: A Personal View, Duke Madenfort
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
When I was an adolescent, I spent an unusual amount of time, indoors, alone, drawing and painting. I preferred staying inside doing art to going outside and playing games like baseball and football with other boys. The fact that drawing and painting, as traditionally and conventionally practiced, are solitary acts and done mostly in studios away from the distractions of the outer world and the, to me, boring talk of "ordinary" people didn't bother me at all.

C.A. Bowers has proposed a perspective on educational theory and practice involving cultural literacy and communicative competence. Bowers' proposal addresses culture change through a critical examination of activities in the school curriculum. An overview of this perspective and its possible use in art education is presented.
