December M-arketplace Feature: Pedagogy in the Age of Media Control

[ 0 ] December 19, 2011 |

Pedagogy in the Age of Media Control: Language Deception and Digital Democracy.
by Ricardo D. Rosa & Joao J. Rosa

(Peter Lang/$34.95 + free shipping).

Supported by critical theoretical frameworks, the text is a purposeful engagement with bodies of knowledge rooted in popular culture, yet, routinely excluded from “common sense”; visions of curriculum. Aimed at teachers as well as teacher-educators, Pedagogy in the Age of Media Control examines areas such as Disney, African American Stand-up Comedy, Intersections of Film/disability and Race as well as Video Games. Going beyond an engagement with theory, through the use of these alternative curricular epistemologies the authors provide sample lesson plans that clearly illustrate the possibilities of a more critical yet permeable outlook on curriculum, with the ultimate aim of fragmenting the mythical dichotomy between the world of academics and the lived reality of youth. Visit the Marketplace to learn more.
