Incorporation and Differentiation – and Empowerment: On a Complicated Threesome

Publications: Contribution to conferenceOther contribution to conferencePeer Reviewed

Abstract

The dynamics of, on the one side, an education that is to reach all and, on the other, schooling as a means to divide (by ability, social class, gender, ethnicity, etc.) has been aptly described as processes of ‘incorporation and differentiation’ (cf. Stoler & Cooper, 1997). Drawing on findings both from the presenter’s own fieldwork in China and from other studies, the keynote lecture revisits these seemingly contradictory processes and scrutinizes them with regard to possibilities of individual and collective agency within processes of differentiation through education.
