Paperback. Condition: New. In Blood's Will: Speculative Fiction, Existence, and Inquiry of Currere, main character Campbell Cote Phillips-a successful university professor, mother, and wife-faces the question "what would she give up to have everything else?" Her comfortable life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers that not everything is always as it appears to be. The story unfolds between the 1970s and contemporary Baltimore, weaving together the experiences of Finn (an unusual vampire with a strange history) and Campbell-along with a cast of characters across different generations-whose stories are portrayed in base-relief against the promise, or peril, of immortality. Blood's Will is about love and desire, but it is also about family, friends, and the choices we all make. To be human is to sacrifice. To be vampire is to have endless opportunities.As Noel Gough writes, "Understanding curriculum work as a storytelling practice has been a key theme in the reconceptualisation of curriculum studies during the last three decades, encapsulated by Madeleine Grumet's formulation of curriculum as 'the collective story we tell our children about our past, our present, and our future.'" Situated as a story embedded in the four stages of currere, the journey of the book's main characters exemplifies the journey of recursion: the regressive, the progressive, the analytical, and the synthetic. Blood's Will is an example of speculative fiction that "can contribute to an aspect of effective deliberation that Schwab called 'the anticipatory generation of alternatives'" (Gough). This book is a useful reading for courses examining roles of narrative, fiction, and currere as fields of inquiry.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Research is about asking and answering questions. So too is an oraclecard reading. The oracle cards in this book follow the design of atraditional tarot deck which uses a set of 22 cards (like a major arcana)(3). However, my cards are designed using 22 original pieces of collageart as shown in the pages of this book. This is a unique oracle deck: the front of each card in this deck is bespoke and distinct. Each cardis artwork crafted through processes of intuition, soul and inconversation with the materials themselves.While the idea for my artwork, called a Currere Oracle deck, hasits roots in frameworks of arts-based inquiry, currere, and curriculumtheory, the Currere Oracle cards are not just the stuff of scholars orresearchers (see Mcdermott-McNulty, Barros, & Daspit, 2025).Research is simply a high-dollar word for searching; and who. amongstus does not search for meaning, for answers, for clarity, or forpossibility every single day The cards invite anyone, from anybackground to 'play' with questions and possible answers affordedby the oracle process. Its multiple entry points disrupt linearunderstandings of what it means to ask a question and to seek ananswer. Each card corresponds with, and can be interpretedaccording to, the moment of the reading, the relationality orpositionality of one card to another, and the interpretation of thereader. Questions and answers remain open-ended in theirmultiplicity, thus inviting disruptions and displacements of 'normal'positioning of our usual linear way of thinking about cause and effectin our lives.…
