Pedagogy in the Novels of J. M. Coetzee: The Affect of Literature. Routledge Research in Education
Tarc, Aparna Mishra
Routledge Research in Education
Critically analyzing the representation of pedagogy in the novels of J.M. Coetzee, this insightful text illustrates the author's profound conception of learning and personal development as something which takes place well beyond formal education. Bringing together critical and educational theory, "Pedagogy in the Novels of J.M. Coetzee" examines depictions of pedagogy in novels including "Age of Iron," "Elizabeth Costello," "Disgrace," and "Childhood of Jesus." Engaging with Coetzee's varied literary use of pedagogical themes such as motherhood, maternal love, and the importance of childhood interactions, reading, and experiences, chapters demonstrate how Coetzee foregrounds pedagogy as intrinsic to the formation of human actors, society, and civilization. The text thereby aptly explores and broadens our understanding of education -- what it is, what it achieves, and how it can affect and shape human existence. This text will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, academics, researchers and professionals in the fields of pedagogy, postcolonial studies, educational theory and philosophy, and English literature.
