Education between individualization
and structure
This article demonstrates how genealogy can be used as a method
for critical education research. As Foucault emphasized, genealogy
is a method for identifying the way in which the individuals are
subjectified through discourse. The genealogical analysis in the
article is defining two mayor tendencies in contemporary Danish
pedagogy: Individualization and structuralizing. The analyses also show
an example of how the two tendencies are intermingled in the Danish
law of learning plans in day care institutions.

Confessional strategies in educational
practice
In this paper it is argued that in recent years, therapeutic
techniques have played an increasingly significant role in Danish
educational thinking. One way in which this therapeutic thinking
discloses itself is in the ever-growing use of educational-therapeutic
games as part of the educational practice. Theoretically, this paper is
inspired by Foucault and we argue that educational-therapeutic games
can be understood as a kind of confessional practice that introduces
a pastoral power relationship between pupils and teachers. We present
a small empirically based analysis of one of the frequently used
therapeutic-educational games in Denmark, called «The Good Chair».

The many-faced cry: Tone and tempo
in the pre-school
This article focuses on crying amongst the youngest children
in preschool. The study is based on an critical ethnographic study,
doing participating observations among children one and two years
of age, and talks with the practitioners. How preschool practitioners
compose and enact care through a bodily logic that includes different
tones and rhythms are more complex than their talk about crying.
Working with Foucault’s material aspect of the subject and Deleuze’s
discussion about what a body may do, the article analyzes the complexity
and visualization of crying. When practitioners talk about crying,
smiling or clean faces they appear to be taking up particular dualistic
verbal approaches. These can be read as taken for granted ways of
thinking and talking, reflecting discourses of care intertwining
age, gender and 'whiteness'. From this angle the article analyze how
concepts have material consequences, as we know our world through concepts.
Research among the youngest children may make visible the not yet known
in our thoughts analyzing processes of materialization. These processes melt
the material and discursive together and create practices of care
in a preschool context.

The pre-packaged freedom of choice
– on the future of Swedish upper-secondary school
The main purpose of this article is to focus what meanings the
concept of quality is given in the political development of Swedish
upper-secondary school. By using Quentin Skinner’s speech-act theory
comparisons is made between the meanings formulated in the early
1990Žs and the now current investigation Framtidsvägen (SOU
2008:27). The result shows consequences for the goal- and resultoriented
steering system as well as changes in the perspectives of citizenship
education and ideolology.
