LITERATURE PEDAGOGY AND CURRICULUM IN SECONDARY...

This book argues for the importance of literature studies using the historical debate between
the disinterested disciplines (art for art's sake) and utilitarian or productive disciplines.
Forgoing the traditional argument that literature is a unique spiritual resource  as well as
the utilitarian thought that literary pedagogy promotes skills that are relevant to a
post-industrial economy  Guiney suggests that literary pedagogy must enable mutual access
between the classroom and the outside world. It must recognize the need for every human being
to become a conscious producer of culture rather than a consumer  through an active process of
literary reading and writing. Using the history of French curricular reforms as a case study
for his analysis  Guiney provides a contextualized redefinition of literature's social value.
