Reviews«Hongyu Wang presents an elegant and insightful journey into cross-cultural self-formation. Readers travel with her through an unusual juxtapositioning of life and academic narrative, of prose and poetry, located in a central rendering of philosophies of Confucius, Foucault and Kristeva. The text is revolutionary for its multiplicity of writing forms and for its example of a postmodern self continually in the making. As for all of us, partial selves are Wang: there is no resolution of difference or dissonance either personally or theoretically even as one desires (subconsciously?) wholeness or harmony. This I applaud most of all.» (Lynda Stone, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) «Hongyu Wang's voice is as clear as a bell in this text and yet, at the same time, the author helps me experience myself and my own presumptions and successes and blind-spots anew. It is always a sign of hermeneutic success when, through a 'stranger's' eyes and words, one's own culture begins to appears odd and unique and not simply 'the way things are'. I believe that this is precisely the sort of text that vitally needed right now: new voices, new conversations, new unearthings of our shared and contested lives in education.» (David Jardine, University of Calgary), Hongyu Wang presents an elegant and insightful journey into cross-cultural self-formation.

Edition DescriptionNew Edition
SynopsisReframing the curricular challenge educators face after a decade of school deform, the books published in Peter Lang's Complicated Conversation series testify to the ethical demands of our time, our place, our profession. In this resounding series of scholarly and pedagogical interventions into the nightmare that is the present, we hear once again the sound of silence breaking, supporting us to rearticulate our pedagogical convictions in this time of terrorism, reframing curriculum as committed to the complicated conversation that is intercultural communication, self- understanding, and global justice., This book is a cross-cultural, gendered study of both self and curriculum. Initiating a conversation between and among Michel Foucault, Confucius, and Julia Kristeva, it searches for a new (third) cultural and psychic space of transformation and creativity. Weaving together philosophy, psychoanalysis, and autobiography through lived experiences of curriculum, it calls for new configurations of subjectivity at the intersection of culture and gender, through the meeting between selfhood and the human psyche, in the dynamics of the semiotic and the symbolic, and through the interaction between the Western subject and the Chinese self. These multiple layers of inquiry provide unique perspectives for readers who are interested in curriculum theory, feminist analysis, philosophy of education, or East/West dialogue.
