While mainstream media and scholarly essays tend to treat these works as faithful representations of classroom reality, \u003ci\u003eThe Pedagogical Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e takes a different approach. \u003cbr\u003eIn this study of French education and republicanism as represented in twenty-first-century French literature and film, Leon Sachs shifts our attention from \"what\" literature and film say about education to \"how\" they say it. He argues that the most important literary and filmic treatments of French education in recent years--the works of Agnès Varda, Érik Orsenna, Abdellatif Kechiche, François Bégaudeau--do more than merely depict the present-day school crisis. They explore questions of education through experiments with form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Pedagogical Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e shows how such techniques engage present-day readers and viewers in acts of interpretation that reproduce pedagogical principles of active, experiential learning--principles at the core of late nineteenth-century educational reform that became vehicles for the diffusion of republican ideology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeon Sachs is an associate professor of French and francophone studies at the University of Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45837776814277,"sku":"9780803245051","price":124.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/SDLtDDd-ya9780803245051.webp?v=1771288792","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-pedagogical-imagination-the-republican-legacy-in-twenty-first-century-french-literature-and-film-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
