Thinking about and Enacting Curriculum in “Frames of War”, edited
by Rahat Naqvi and Hans Smits, responds to the challenges Judith
Butler posed about the precariousness of life and questions about how
we apprehend, and take up ethically, our responsibilities for those
who are considered “Other.” The notion of enframing asks us to
consider what conditions our understanding of others, and how we open
up what curriculum concepts and theories mean in the contexts of
complex conditions for educational practices, such as recent wars,
which have brought to forefront critical questions of human
recognition and the precariousness of the conditions in which human
flourishing is possible.
An overarching objective of this book is the meaning of a call to
ethics, and how discussion of framing and frames is a provocation to
think about our responsibilities as curriculum scholars and
practitioners. The authors take up the limits of knowledge, and
present the challenge to curriculum theory to think in terms of not
just understanding the frames through which we apprehend the Other,
but also how we might re-frame our thinking as a radical call to
responsibility. Each chapter in Smits and Naqvi’s Thinking about and
Enacting Curriculum in “Frames of War” illustrates these concepts
in diverse ways, but with common interest and concern, considering how
curriculum is and ought to be fundamentally engaged with re-thinking
our frames of apprehension.
