Like Letters in Running Water

Meer over het boek

Exploring the transformative potential of fiction in education, this collection of essays challenges the notion that literary works are merely entertainment. Drawing from curriculum theory, literary analysis, psychology, and feminist perspectives, Doll argues for the profound teaching power of fiction, which fosters deep self-awareness and addresses social issues often overlooked in traditional pedagogies. Her concept of "currere," or the lived experience of curriculum through literature and myth, represents a significant contribution to curriculum theory.
