Book by Ivan Illich
POPULARITY
Born in Vienna in 1926, Ivan Illich acted as a Roman Catholic priest, a theologian, a philosopher, and a radical social critic. He died in December 2002. His 1971 book Deschooling Society criticises modern society's institutional approach to education, an approach that constrains learning to narrow situations in a fairly short period of the human lifespan. His 1975 book Medical Nemesis argues that industrialised society widely impairs quality of life by overmedicalising life, pathologizing normal conditions, creating false dependency, and limiting other more healthful solutions. Illich called himself "a Wandering Jew and a Christian pilgrim" and we can find the core beliefs that held his intellectual wanderings together discussed in a more general form in his 1973 book Tools for Conviviality. In this episode Owen Kelly reads excerpts from Tools for Conviviality, a book he has returned to again and again, to make sense of the arguments that Illich proposes - while wondering how we can get there from here, a question that Illich himself dismisses.
Back in 1971, Ivan Illich wrote the groundbreaking book "Deschooling Society." Illich didn't hold back in criticizing the traditional and mainstream approaches to education that we've all become familiar with. He also presented a clear and progressive vision for the future, which still holds weight even after five decades. Join us for part 2 of our book review, where we dive into Illich's ideas for a post-school society. His proposals of skill exchanges, peer networks, and resource sharing, align pretty well with the systems we have available today in 2023. And so we're left wondering why our current reality doesn't match Illich's vision. We hope you find this discussion interesting and perhaps it inspires some ideas for how the 3 types of school model in your school's context. If you are interested in establishing what kind of school context you are currently in, please take our 2 minute survey which can be found by clicking here.
In 1971 Ivan Illich wrote Deschooling Society, a text which was far ahead of its time. Illich laid out a thorough critique of what we've called traditional and mainstream approaches to education. He also articulated a concrete progressive vision for moving forward. 50 years later his critique still holds weight. In part 1 of our book review, we highlight the main components of his critique against schooling as it was in 1971 and still is in 2023. In this episode, we highlight what he calls the 4 myths of school and the 3 kinds of teachers.
A love of learning!! Isn't that what every home-educating family is hoping they're able to instill in their children? Absolutely!! Yet, many find that the act of doing school is actually hurting their relationships while having the opposite impact on their children. On this episode, David and Leslie will talk about what often hinders that love of learning and how we can overcome it in a way that will actually strengthen the relationships you care most about. In Leslie's new book, Heart School: How Amazing Parents Become Excellent Home Educators, she talks a little bit about how many are afraid that homeschooling will actually hurt their relationships with their children. In chapter 8 of that book, she encourages families, especially ones that are coming out of a different educational environment, that they may want to employ a deschooling strategy for a time. Deschooling is a term that Ivan Illich coined. He wrote a book in 1971 called Deschooling Society, where he was very critical of the institutional approach to education, which gives children a very narrow understanding of things and doesn't give details of both sides to consider. He noted that for many, "the right or appreciation of learning is curtailed by the obligation to attend school.” Topics Covered In This Episode: What "status quo" education looks like today. How education is defined and approached in today's environment. What a parent's goal for the education of their children should be. How deschooling can help parents achieve their goals while ushering in a way of approaching home education that brings freedom and confidence. How Deschooling can be a great tool for strengthening relationships at any point in your homeschool journey. How our previous discussion about wisdom comes into play in a discussion about Deschooling. (See episode 170 to learn about the Wisdom of Putting things Together.)

What does it mean to create convivial organisations and platforms? Today we explore the relationship between technology and society with L. M. Sacasas – and what we can learn from the philosopher Ivan Illich (1926-2002). L. M. Sacasas is the associate director of the Christian Study Center of Gainesville, Florida and author of The Convivial Society, a newsletter about technology and society. Michael has written for The New Atlantis, The New Inquiry, Real Life Magazine, Mere Orthodoxy, Rhizomes, The American, and Second Nature Journal. Ivan Illich was a philosopher, Roman Catholic priest, and critic of the institutions of modern Western culture, who addressed contemporary practices in education, medicine, work, energy use, transportation, and economic development. In this episode, we explore what we mean by conviviality, having tools to empower – not de-skill – humans, the necessity of limits, re-envisioning the good life, and how Ivan Illich has such a big global following in today's society. A full transcript of the episode can be found on our website: https://boundaryless.io/podcast/l-m-sacasas/ Key highlights we discussed: > The meaning of conviviality and the influence of Ivan Illich on L.

Formed in 1999, WHW is an exemplary case in the history of curatorial studies.Ana Devic is also in charge of the international study program for young artists called WHW Akademija based in Zagreb. With Ana, we'll further our exploration into other modes of engaging with artistic practice and hear about other possibilities, within and through art and politics. Her take on collectivity, as a spark rather than a value in and of itself; her emphasis on encounters and accessibility, and formal and informal modes of learning were really thought-provoking.EPISODE NOTES AND LINKSThis episode's conversation is part of the collaborative project ‘Communities of Learning, Bridging the Gap of Isolation', initiated by WHW and supported by the Culture of Solidarity Fund of the European Cultural Foundation.Ana Devic is a curator, writer, and teacher Ana Dević and a member of the curatorial collective What, How and from Whom (WHW). https://www.whw.hr/novosti/index.html#Formed in 1999, the curatorial collective What, How and for Whom (WHW) is an exemplary case in the history of curatorial studies.

Meie tähtsamad institutsioonid on hiiglaslikud kaitserajatised "inimkonna" nimel peetavas sõjas surma kõikvõimalike põhjuste vastu. See on totaalne sõda."Teiste sõnadega — Ivan Illich on äärmiselt ajakohane mõtleja. Ja kuivõrd see on nii, siis me pöördume ta juurde selles sarjas loodetavasti veel tagasi. Möödunud reedel tegime aga otsa lahti. Mu stuudiokülalisteks olid Signe ja Tanel Mällo, kes koos oma viie tubli tütrega aitavad koolil jõudumööda kuhtuda. Suurema osa sellest tööst teeb ära muidugi distantsõpe, aga eks tähtis on igaühe panus.Head uudistamist!H.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Illich[2] https://www.amazon.com/Deschooling-Society-Open-Forum-S-ebook/dp/B007EDLBBI/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1622012268&sr=8-1[3] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GDmShNiWOI&list=PLhpEK-_b7mfEM3LsE740RRFKJuOC9WGog&index=14[4] https://www.apollo.ee/majanduslik-inimene-ja-poliitiline-loom.html[5] https://www.amazon.com/Limits-Medicine-Medical-Nemesis-Expropriation-ebook/dp/B007Y5IX30/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1622012686&sr=8-1 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

David Gagnon is a researcher at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research and the director of the learning research lab Field Day at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Over the course of our conversation, we hammer out a definition of learning, discuss David's work creating educational video games for elementary school students, and talk about how to create environments that foster experimentation, curiosity, and, ultimately, growth. During the episode, we touched on: - Learning—what is it? What isn't it? - Dave's social constructivist approach to learning - Literacy—what does it mean today? And the New London Group's multiliteracy manifesto - Using video games for learning (e.g., Jo Wilder and the Capitol Case created by David's research lab) - The desire—in business, in education—to be right all the time… even when being “wrong” fosters learning - The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses (2011) by Eric Reis - The humility that can come from having an understanding of complex, complicated systems - If it's possible to go overboard with radical transparency when working with outside partners? - Deschooling Society (1971) by the radical Catholic priest Ivan Illich - Attending to participants' feelings when navigating organizational change… and how artists and storytellers can lead the way

Over the past couple of months, believing that Ivan Illich’s thought indeed spoke with renewed urgency to our moment, I’ve revisited two of his earliest and best known books, Tools for Conviviality and Deschooling Society. Three key themes caught my attention this time around and I thought it might be useful to discuss them here, even if only briefly.

Unschooling And…Its Origins Kerry McDonald Many people believe that unschooling began with John Holt. While it is most certainly true that John Holt coined the term “unschooling” in the late-1970s as part of his work in the emerging modern homeschooling movement, the philosophical roots of unschooling and Self-Directed Education go back centuries. This is not some new-age idea. John Locke, Some Thoughts Concerning Education (1693) “For a child will learn three times as much when he is in tune, as he will with double the time and pains when he goes awkwardly or is dragg'd unwillingly to it.” Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, or On Education (1762) "Everything is good as it leaves the hands of the author of things and everything degenerates in the hands of man.” Sidney Hook (1971): “Only those unfamiliar with Dewey’s work can believe that he rejects the active role of the teacher in planning the classroom experience by properly organized subject matters.” - "John Dewey and His Betrayers."

I denne episoden har Pål tatt ut pappaperm og Lars har tatt turen til filosofisk institutt på Blindern for å slå av en prat med en annen kognitiv bajas, Ole Martin Moen. Vi snakker om hans artikkel Fremtidsskolen (publisert i Dagbladet, 12.februar i år), og går derfra innom en rekke temaer, som livsmestring, nysgjerrighet og læring, om å endre mening og å faktisk ha lyst til å ta inn over seg gode argumenter, på tross av vår stae tilbøyelighet til det motsatte. Episoden er kanskje lang, men det er vel egentlig et eksperiment for å se hva som skjer når man forsøker å ha en noenlunde fokusert samtale over tid, som kan lede til noen gode og uforutsette tanker. Vi synes samtalen bla ganske så fin, og håper at noe av stemningen smitter over på dere som lytter. Om den gjør det eller ei, gi oss gjerne tilbakemeldinger, på facebooksiden vår, på larsogpaal@gmail.com, eller på Itunes! Samtalene våre blitt ikke bedre enn hva vi sammen gjør dem til, så ta dette som en oppfordring. I episoden nevnes en masse bøker, podkaster og annet. For å gjøre det litt enkelt for deg har vi laget en liste: Podkaster: Dialogisk (podkasten til Gunnar Tjomlid og Dag Sørås, anbefales for flere trivelige samtaler, og særlig episoden hvor Ole Martin snakker om skole) Moralistene (Ole Martins podkast, som han lager sammen med Aksel Braanen Sterri) EconTalk (en av Ole Martins anbefalinger) Common sense (podkasten Dan Carlin lager i tillegg til Hardcore History) Bøker og artikler: Stuart Firestein, Ignorance.

In his book Deschooling Society (1971), Ivan Illich briefly alluded to a class of words "so flexible that they cease to be useful." "Like an amoeba," he said, "they fit into almost any interstice of the language." Two years later, in Tools for Conviviality, Illich wrote that language had come to "reflect the monopoly of the industrial mode of production over perception and motivation." He urged " rediscovery of language" as a personal and poetic medium. But Illich made no detailed analysis of how language had been industrialized. Then, in 1981, he became one of the first group of fellows at the new Wissenschaftkolleg, or Institute for Advanced Studies in Berlin. Among his colleagues was Uwe Pörksen, a professor of German literature from the University of Freiburg. The two became friends, and one of the things they discussed was the empty word husks that Illich had first called amoebas. Pörksen renamed them plastic words and undertook a detailed study of the phenomenon, Seven years later in 1988, he published Plastikwörter: Die Sprache einer Internationalen Diktatur (The Language of an International Dictatorship.)Pörksen argued that plastic words are not merely the clichés, slogans and hackneyed expressions against which commentators like George Orwell ("Politics and the English Language") or James Thurber ("The Psychosemanticist Will See You Now, Mr. Thurber") had railed. They form a distinct class, numbering not many more than thirty or forty. The list includes obviously puffed up words like communication, sexuality, and information, but also less obtrusive terms like problem, factor, and role. Together, Pörksen says, they compose a Lego-like, modular lingo which bulldozes all the merely local and historical features of language and paves the way to the shining city of universal development. I learned of Pörksen's work from Illich, when I went to State College, Pennsylvania to record interviews with Illich in 1988. At the time, it had briefly become the playful custom in his household to ostentatiously clear one's throat whenever one found it necessary to pronounce a plastic word. I was intrigued and eager to present Pörksen's research to my Canadian radio audience, but there were several problems: his book wasn't translated, I didn't speak German, and Pörksen had only limited English. My German-born wife, Jutta Mason, solved the first problem by making a rough translation of the German text, and, in time, as we got to know each other, Uwe agreed to attempt the interview. It was recorded in Barbara Duden's house in Bremen in 1992. Jutta joined us, to boost Uwe's confidence and help with translation as needed, but, in the event, the occasion seemed to inspire a rudimentary but powerful eloquence in Uwe, and no translation was needed.The edited interview, which follows, was broadcast on Ideas early in 1993. Jutta's translation also became the basis for an English edition, pictured above, of Plastic Words. Uwe came and stayed with us for a week in Toronto, and he and Jutta and I together worked over the English text, until it was ready for publication by the Penn State Press in 1995. Good reviews never led to much of a readership for a book that I think deserves to be better known, but it remains available.
We make no claim to know everything. But what we do know is there is change happening in the education system, both good and bad, and the options are limited but simple: You can either fight it or you can figure out a way to positively affect that change. Adam and Patrick sit down to discuss not just some of the changes that are currently happening and why, but also to discuss how and why we here at MakingComics.com plan on being part of that change. To some our goals may seem lofty. To us, it's an opportunity to assist in making a difference and learning in an artistic and creative manner. Click play or download this week's Gutter Talk episode to understand why we feel that is so important and worth the effort.
