The sociomateriality of education policy

 

Abstract

By drawing on sociomaterial approaches to education, this paper presents a case study on the creation, development and consolidation of the education zone, a new policy space in South Italy. The topological reading of the case study reveals the complex reassemblage of humans and non-humans in the enactment of the education zones, and its multiple enactments as regions, networks and fluids.

Notes

1. In an interesting reflection on the social, Patrick Joyce (Citation2002), by following ANT, noted that the social here is conceived as ‘collective of different agencies’. Attention is thus on the interactions among different agencies (p. 190).

2. For some considerations on social imageries and how they may shape educational research and policy see Rizvi (Citation2006).

3. The transcriptions of the Conferences of the Zones are available at the Provincia di Napoli website at the following link: http://www.provincia.napoli.it/Micro_Siti/Scuola/Navigazione_Sinistra/Conferenze_ambito/.
