Nomadic Education: Variations on a Theme by Deleuze and Guattari

Inna Semetsky’s Nomadic Education is a scholarly collection that integrates the poststructuralist philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari into contemporary educational theory. The text positions learning as a dynamic, "nomadic" process of concept creation rather than a passive transmission of established facts. Across thirteen chapters, various contributors utilize Deleuzian metaphors like the rhizome and the line of flight to challenge rigid institutional structures and traditional curricula. Key themes include the pedagogy of the image, the ethical dimensions of the unconscious, and the impact of the creative economy on schooling. Ultimately, the volume advocates for a "minor" philosophy of education that embraces unpredictability, artistic expression, and the transformative power of becoming.
