The idea of fragmentation has transformed the living, convivial
pursuit of knowledge into something akin to an industrial assembly
line. Schooling in North America is inherently based on this idea,
working against the spirit of pedagogy and the very nature of
knowledge itself. Fragmentation has lead to practices that are easily
recognizable in schools such as surveillance, colonization, leveling,
standardization, normalization and even oppression: the logic of
fragmentation has lead to the breaking apart of the living disciplines
of knowledge entrusted to teachers and students in the classroom. In
this profound and challenging book, David Jardine explores some of the
historical and philosophical ancestries of the logic of fragmentation
and then lays out how the logic of fragmentation is being interrupted
by progressive contemporary thinking about the nature of knowledge and
its pursuit. Jardine uses real classroom examples to show how
inspiring teachers and students have stepped out from the normal
rigidity of the school system to pursue a pedagogy left in peace.
