This book compiles the papers presented at the International Congress "New Critical Perspectives in Education", held in Barcelona in June 1994. It is not a simple sum of points of view, but a set of approaches with a clear conceptual unity. The texts explore from the socio-political changes driven by feminism and ecologism to the impact of new technologies on postmodern society, questioning the current dynamics of teaching and seeking personal liberation and the creation of new paths for civil society as fundamental educational objectives. The volume creates a space for dialogue and collective reflection, consolidating new critical theoretical lines and alternative educational practices that recover the illusion for education and its capacity for social transformation.
Manuel Castells Oliván is a Spanish sociologist. He is well known for his authorship of a trilogy of works, entitled The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture. He is a scholar of the information society, communication and globalization.
