Creativity and Democracy in Education: Practices and politics of learning through the arts (Routledge Research in Education Policy and Politics)

The struggle to establish more democratic education pedagogies has a long history in the politics of mainstream education. This book argues for the significance of the creative arts in the establishment of social justice in education, using examples drawn from a selection of contemporary case studies including Japanese applied drama, Palestinian teacher education and Room 13 children’s contemporary art.  Jeff Adams and Allan Owens use their research in practice to explore creativity conceptually, historically and metaphorically within a variety of UK and international contexts, which are analysed using political and social theories of democratic and relational education. Each chapter discusses the relationship between models of democratic creativity and the cultural conditions in which they are practised, with a focus on new critical pedagogies that have developed in response to neoliberalism and marketization in education. The book is structured throughout by the theories, practices and the ideals that were once considered to be foundational for education: democratic citizenship and a just society.Creativity and Democracy in Education will be of key interest to postgraduate students, researchers, and academics in the field of education, especially those interested in the arts and creativity, democratic learning, teacher education, cultural and organisational studies, and political theories of education.

Jeff Adams investigates where the social organisation and moral order created by children come from and shows, for example, how certain narratives, such as fairy tales, serve as a foundation for this system.

"Archy and his racy pal Mehitabel are timeless," noted E. B. White in his essay on Don Marquis and his famous creations, and the undimmed enthusiasm of several generations of fans -- who every year buy thousands of copies of Marquis' earlier collections -- testifies to their appeal. A whimsical and sophisticated sage, archy the cockroach entertained readers with iconoclastic observations on pretensions, politics, and our place in the cosmos during Marquis' career as a New York newspaper columnist in the 1920s and 30s. Allegedly tapping out stories at night by leaping from key to key on Marquis' typewriter, archy couldn't quite manage the shift key for capital letters. Although his tales appeared in lower case, his views achieved a level grand enough to solidify Marquis' reputation as an American humorist in the tradition of Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, and Ring Lardner. archyology brings together selected "lost" tales that were literally rescued from oblivion by Jeff Adams, who found them among papers stored in a steamer trunk since Marquis' death. And so archy emerges from his long silence. Whether reporting on characters like emmet the ghost, sailing to Paris to visit the insects of Europe, being trapped for days in a New York subway train, or hanging out in a Long Island orchard enjoying fermented cherries, archy is always both provocative and inimitable. With illustrations by Ed Frascino, a New Yorker regular, this collection reintroduces a delightful cast of characters who reconfirm archy's view of the world: "the only way to live with it is to laugh at it."

Psalm 119 (A Journey into the Heart of God)

This is the second volume in the Reality Living Commentary Series. It is called a commentary because it contains fallible comments on infallible truth. It is advice on how to apply and live the words of God’s Book from a man who has spent over a quarter of a century on God’s front lines.\nMotivation for writing this series comes from a burden for many of God’s people who sincerely desire to understand the Bible. Sometimes they have been discouraged in that pursuit by those who use the Bible, talk about the Bible, or teach from the Bible, without simply explaining the Bible.\nThese comments come from a pastor’s heart. The author has taught the Bible verse-by-verse in many cultural situations with the belief that the common man or woman can understand the Bible for themselves. They can thereby live the Bible in their circumstances and they can minister the word of God to others.\nThis volume is not written from the theological greenhouse of scholarship, nor is it so superficial that you will find within its contents only a collection of devotional thoughts. This book will satisfy the hunger of anyone who wants to understand how the Bible is to be the foundation of our lives.\nJob is a foundational book of the Bible. It is necessary to any comprehensive understanding of God’s Word. The study of this book will also answer some very practical questions about life and its adversities. Come along on this incredible journey to the land of Uz.
