| | Class number: | 370 | | Abstract: | In The Dialectic of Freedom, Maxine Greene argues that freedom must be achieved through continuing resistance to the forces that limit, condition, determine, and―too frequently―oppress.Examining the interrelationship between freedom, possibility, and imagination in American education, Greene taps the fields of philosophy, history, educational theory, and literature in order to discuss the many struggles that have characterized Americans’ quests for freedom in the midst of what is conceived to be a free society. Accounts of the lives of women, immigrants, and minority groups highlight the ways in which Americans have gone in search of openings in their lived situations, learned to look at things as if they could be otherwise, and taken action on what they found. Greene presents a unique overview of American concepts and images of freedom from Jefferson’s time to the present. She examines the ways in which the disenfranchised have historically understood and acted on their freedom―or lack of it―in dealing with perceived and real obstacles to expression and empowerment. Strong emphasis is placed on the focal role of the arts and art experience in releasing human imagination and enabling the young to reach toward their vision of the possible. | | Contents note: | Freedom, Education, and Public Spaces; American Paradox, American Quest; Reaching from Private to Public: The Work of Women; Multiplicities, Pluralities, and a Common World; Education, Art, and Mastery: Toward the Spheres of Freedom; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=19191 |
