The Fundamentals of Horror and Learning

There is a horror story behind and throughout the image of contemporary globalised education without dénouement or clear ending. If one thinks about financial crises, human overpopulation and environmental catastrophe, one may sense a definite background

PRAISE FOR A PEDAGOGY OF CINEMA

“A Pedagogy of Cinema builds upon Deleuze’s emphasis on ‘cinema-thinking’ to provide new approaches to enhancing and articulating the role of affect and movement in thinking with images, and to map these transversal relations onto the context of education. Creative, inventive and generative, this book provides an accessible introduction to Deleuze’s ideas and draws attention to the ethico-political dimensions of learning.” – Stephanie Springgay, School of Education, The University of Toronto, Canada “Rather than offering a set of guidelines or a programmatic sketch of a new approach to teaching film, this book enacts its pedagogy of cinema, taking the reader on a strange, exhilarating trip through fascinating analyses of cinematic images. Cole and Bradley’s book works on you at a level that cannot be called simply conscious, reorienting your perception of the cinematic image and its affects. Once you’ve read it, there is simply no way to go back to teaching film as it has been institutionalized in schools.” – Nathan Snaza, School of Education, University of Richmond, USA “This outstanding new book asks a vital question for our time. How can we educate effectively in a digitalized, corporatized, Orwellian-surveillance-controlled, globalized world? This question is equally a challenge asked of our ability to think outside of the limiting parameters of the control society, and the forces which daily propel us ever-quicker towards worldwide homogenization. With great lucidity, Cole and Bradley offer us profound hope in Gilles Deleuze’s increasingly popular notion of ‘cine-thinking’. They explore and explain the potential that this sophisticated idea hold
