In her book The Pedagogical Disproportion (Teaching and Learning with Rancière, Gramsci and Foucault), Sternfeld tries to use the political discourses of Antonio Gramsci , Michel Foucault and Jacques Rancière for a critical definition of the position of education . Your reasoning is post-structuralist . In it, she criticizes the inflationary use of both the term equal opportunities and the call for lifelong learning . The former serve as a distraction "from the reality of social inequality", the latter level instead of differentiating. In her review of the book, Sophie Goltz comes to the conclusion that it offers "learners and teachers a differentiated view [...] of the demand, based on Foucault," not to be governed in such a way - neither through education nor through its economization . "

Curatorial projects came about in collaboration with the IG Bildende Kunst , the museum in progress and the Vienna Main Library .

Quote

“Are exhibition contexts places of refuge for critical teaching and learning, pioneers of their total economization, or both? And what does that mean for critical mediation practice? "
