The Production of Reason and Power: Curriculum History and Intellectual Traditions.
Popkewitz, Thomas S.
Journal of Curriculum Studies, v29 n2 p131-64 Mar-Apr 1997
Delineates two traditional assumptions of educational research: (1) social progress is tied to an evolutionary conception of change and (2) inquiry must identify actors as causal agents who create or suppress change. Argues that both assumptions are grounded in the effects of power and modernity and are complicit in social regulation. (MJP)
