Many of the essays pinpoint the stagnancy of teaching methods today and discuss the reductive parameters enforced by the current curriculum. The radical tone that echoes through the entire series of papers is unmistakable. Throughout the book; postmodern theory informs the polemical debate concerning new directions in educative practice. Contributors shed new light on a postmodern view of art in education with emphasis upon difference; plurality and independence of mind. Ultimately; the paper provides a detailed insight into the various concepts that shape and drive the contemporary art world and expands the debate regarding the impression of postmodern thinking in art education.

Review
4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Tough; sad and sharpBy SoniaThis is one of my favorite writings of Wilde. He describes the treatment of a woman who has no means and is of little importance. It is a timeless piece of work since this happens in the here and now also. Some of the scenery makes it a period piece but the story is an ongoing issue to deal with everyday.Love to read the banter and the sly commentary of vicious women; the innuendo and subtle insults. Excellent read.
