Abstract | We have tried to show what it means to be located in the postmodern ... by concentrating on Lacan's work on subjectivity, knowledge and the power-knowledge relations, Derrida's on siginification and textuality, and Lyotard's on grand narratives and performativity. We have asked, in each case, what it means in relations to not only understanding anew the work of education but also to the task of reconfiguring educational purposes and practices. (In additional chapters) 1) an outline is provided of those key aspects of postmodernism which bear on an understanding of contemporary educational issues and trends. 2) The focus is on the discourse and narrative of science and psychology is examined as a case study of the problems which occur when this narrative is applied to an understanding of the 'human'. 3) We focus on experiential learning because of its implications with the cultivation of a desire, a key aspect of the postmodern. 4) We attempt to bring out the implications of what has gone before for a reconfiguration of the practice of education, its theorisations, structures and processes.
