BODY KNOWLEDGE AND CURRICULUM - STEPHANIE SPRIN...

Body Knowledge and Curriculum examines student understandings of body knowledge in the context
of creating and interrogating visual art and culture. It illustrates a six-month research study
conducted in an alternative secondary school in a large urban city. During the research project
students created a number of visual art works using a diversity of material explorations as a
means to think through the body as a process of exchange and as a bodied encounter. The book
engages with feminist theories of touch and inter-embodiment  questioning the materiality and
lived experiences of the body in knowledge production  in order to provoke different ways of
theorizing self other relations in teaching and learning. This volume is important because it
explores the ways in which youth understand the complex  textured  and often contradictory
discourses of body knowledge  and seeks to intentionally create alternative pedagogical and
curricular practices to ones that subscribe to a healthy body model. Additionally  enacting
educational research as living inquiry  this book is an exemplar of the arts-based methodology
a r tography. Body Knowledge and Curriculum is a valuable text for courses in curriculum theory
art education  qualitative research methodologies  visual culture and pedagogies  and feminist
theory. Appropriate for advanced undergraduate students  pre-service teacher education students
and graduate students  the book provides an interdisciplinary investigation into body research.
