Over a number of meetings, the theorist, critic, video artist and occasional curator Mieke Bal (born 1946) engaged in a conversation on the art of teaching with the cultural analyst Jeroen Lutters. Looking for a dialogue that would also touch on the role of visual art, Lutters brought in paintings by Banksy, Rembrandt, Marlene Dumas and George Deem as "teaching objects"--one for each conversation. Lutters asked Bal what these paintings might have to say about teaching.
The result is this publication: a personal, meandering and precise account of Bal's pedagogy. She reveals her way of thinking through visual art and literature and her ways of exchanging ideas. How do objects speak, and how can we use them? How do they teach us to find answers to important questions, just by looking, listening and reading within the relationship between student, teacher and teaching object?

From the Back Cover
Tijdens een aantal ontmoetingen gingen Jeroen Lutters en Mieke Bal in gesprek over de kunst van kennisoverdracht. Op zoek naar een dialoog die ook zou raken aan de beeldende kunst, bracht Lutters schilderijen van Banksy, Marlene Dumas, en George Deem mee als teaching objects ― voor elke conversatie één. Hij vroeg Mieke Bal wat deze schilderijen zouden kunnen zeggen over lesgeven en kennisoverdracht in bredere zin. Het resultaat is The Trade of the Teacher: Visual Thinking with Mieke Bal, het eerste boek dat zich specifiek richt op het denken van Mieke Bal over lesgeven en educatie. Daarnaast is het een persoonlijk, meanderend, en zorgvuldig verslag van haar manier van denken via beeldende kunst en literatuur. Het geeft op levendige wijze weer hoe ze kennis en ideeën uitwisselt met studenten en collega's. Dit boek vormt hopelijk een inspiratiebron voor studenten en docenten ― met name in de kunsten en geesteswetenschappen ― die verlangen naar een alternatief geluid binnen het complexe onderwijsveld.
