Scholarly work

[edit]

In his books, the numerous book chapters and journal articles, jagodzinski approaches art, art education, and curriculum issues through the lens of psychoanalytic and philosophical theory.

His first book, The Anamorphic I/i : Finding My Own Step Through The (My)Nfield of Pheminism and Art (1996), written over the course of ten years, “is a labyrinth of passages … created by a personal search which began by asking what relationships might be possible for a straight male to various forms of feminism, queer theories, and gay and lesbian issues of representation as they are played out in … visual&art education, film, and cultural studies.”[4]

In Postmodern Dilemmas: Outrageous Essays in Art&Art Education (1997) and Pun(k) Deconstruction: Experifigural Writings in Art&Art Education (1997), jagodzinski addresses issues of postmodernity and poststructuralism in his attempt to deconstruct the current paradigm of art education.

In the trilogy on everyday media practices and youth culture, Youth Fantasies: The Perverse Landscape of Media (2004), Musical Fantasies: A Lacanian Approach (2005), and Youth and Television Culture: Televised Paranoia (2008), jagodzinski uses a psychoanalytic framework to explore the meaning of “youth” and what “youth” wants in postmodern industrialized countries.

Questions about current challenges to education, art, and art education, and where their future may be headed, are addressed in Art and Education in an Era of Designer Capitalism: Deconstructing the Oral Eye (2010), and in the edited volumes Arts Based Research. A Critique and a Proposal (2013, co-edited with Jason Wallin), The Precarious Future of Education (2017), and What is Art Education? After Deleuze and Guattari (2017).[1][4]

In his more recent writings, jagodzinski addresses the precarious conditions for our species living on the Earth in terms of both ecological and political crises: Interrogating the Anthropocene: Ecology, Aesthetics, Pedagogy, and the Future in Question (2018), Schizoanalytic Ventures at the End of the World: Film, Video, Art, and Pedagogical Challenges (2019), Pedagogical Explorations in a Posthuman Age: Essays on Designer Capitalism, Eco-Aestheticism, and Visual and Popular Culture as West-East Meet (2020), Ahuman Pedagogy: Multidisciplinary Perspectives for Education in the Anthropocene (2022, co-edited with Jessie Beier), Pedagogy in the Anthropocene: Re-Wilding Education for a New Earth (2022, co-edited with Michael Paulsen & Hawke Shé), Pedagogical Encounters in the Post-Anthropocene, Volume 1: Childhood, Environment, Indigeneity (2024), and Pedagogical Encounters in the Post-Anthropocene, Volume 2: Technology, Neurology, Quantum (2024).[5]

jagodzinski is the series editor for Palgrave Studies in Educational Future which aims to address “the precarity that reverberates throughout all life, and attempts to explore and experiment to develop an educational imagination which, at the very least, makes conscious what is a dire situation.”[5]

jagodzinski’s contributions to research and teaching have been recognized by the University of Alberta with the McCalla Research Award (2003), the Beauchamp Research Award (2008) and a Killam Professorship (2011).
