Drawing distinctions. What is post-critical pedagogy?

Abstract: Post-critical pedagogy is an attempt to step outside the endless repetition of critical research in education. 'Posting' critique and thereby posing the question of alternatives works against a stagnating tendency for current educational debates to appear unsatisfactory, paralysing, and tedious. This essay describes the limits of critical pedagogy and possibilities of a 'post-critical pedagogy'. It is structured according to the term's three elements of 'critique', 'post', and 'pedagogy'. For each of these elements, the essay describes two ways of understanding; not to play them off against each other, but to show how manifold post-critical pedagogy can and should be. The essay concludes with a proposal of three analytical dimensions for further work on a post-critical pedagogy. (DIPF/Orig.)
