This edited book explores the under-analyzed significance and
function of paranoia as a psychological habitus of the
contemporary educational and social moment. The editors and
contributors argue that the desire for epistemological truth
beyond uncertainty characteristic of paranoia continues to
profoundly shape the aesthetic texture and imaginaries of
educational thought and practice. Attending to the
psychoanalytic, post-psychoanalytic, and critical significance of
paranoia as a mode of engaging with the world, this book further
inquires into the ways in which paranoia functions to shape the
social order and the material desire of subjects operating within
it. Furthermore, the book aims to understand how the paranoiac
imaginary endemic to contemporary educational thought manifests
itself throughout the social field and what issues it makes
manifest for teachers, teacher educators, and academics working
toward social transformation.
