From "learning toy" and "learning society" to "learning city" and
"learning organization", what is meant by "learning"? The main focus
of this volume is to increase our understanding of the "learning turn"
referring, in this book, to the frequent occurrence and usage of terms
in the last few decades where the word "learning" is the premodifier.
The authors also offer insights into the use of the word "learning" as
a premodifier in the future and discuss what, if anything, may replace
it, such as "knowledge" (as in "knowledge management") and "smart" (as
in "smart city"). An extensive range of academic disciplines are
covered including political science, economics, human geography,
philosophy, linguistics, higher education, working life science,
management and organization, and marketing. While a single, overall,
unified conclusion is not provided, Making Sense of the Learning Turn
presents a variety of voices and perspectives. Some contributors are
critical towards the learning turn, explaining it in terms of
fashion-following, manipulation, and seduction. Others interpret the
learning turn more lightly or suggest a more collective form of
learning as an alternative to the individualization of learning that
some authors argue has been the case thus far.
