Notes

1. Edmiston's article proposes a ‘theoretical and philosophical framework for drama as ethical education … grounded in the writings of Mikhail Bakhtin’ (Edmiston, 2000, p. 63), his article responds to Joe Winston's book Drama, narrative and moral education (1998), and Winston's neo-Aristotelian approach.

2. ‘The core of L'Organisation Politique is made up of militants who have a long history together, beginning with the events of May 1968’ (Badiou, 2002, p. 100). One of the key concerns of the organisation is the issue ‘of equality in education and health’ (Badiou, 2002, p. 100) and particularly the plight of ‘illegal’ or unrecognised foreign workers.
