Synopsis
Universities and art schools alike have been subjected to the pressure of recent austerity politics and the ongoing attempt to transform higher education on the basis of neo-liberal principles. In this context, there is an urgent need to conceive of alternative frameworks and methodologies of study whether this is within, outside or at the margins of academic institutions. This book examines what is currently at stake in education through a series of conversations with artists, theorists, activists and educators who are all actively involved in developing new models of study. Ranging from self-organised learning to critical teaching methodologies, the conversations gathered here offer a resource for those interested in the renewed politicisation of education and alternative modes of pedagogy and inquiry.

Revue de presse
There s not a single contemporary art college or university today that isn t a battleground. These wars are wars about value, meaning, pedagogy, criticality, and above all, unfortunately, the market. Whether we rise above them, move sideways, go underground, embrace or escape these fights, we did not choose them and their terms generate increasing losses for all those who still desire a relationship to something irreducible to money. This collection of interviews contains passionate visions and analyses that lay bare the stakes of our contemporary political, emotional and educational predicament. --Nina Power
A glance across the disparate worlds of study, pedagogy or academia today may suggest an inversion of Gramsci s adage about the crisis of his time and its morbid symptoms. Around us the new is dying and the old cannot be born: scores of tiresomely new-fangled schemes, reforms, targets and initiatives continue to be aggressively rolled out, in observance of the twinned cults of austerity and innovation, while the simplest and oldest practices of reading, teaching, writing, studying are menaced with obsolescence, or travestied beyond recognition. Drawing on feminism, traditions of self-organisation and pointed analyses of capitalist education , the conversations collected in this volume provide compelling reports on the political and vocational challenges confronted by those involved in inventing institutions and practices of learning in and against late neoliberalism. --Alberto Toscano
