Pedagogical Authority
This paper will first discuss the extent to which Adorno’s works have turned pedagogical authority into a pedagogical taboo, looking at certain developments in contemporary educational discourse (1). This leads to an explanation of the basic characteristics of pedagogical authority (2). Finally, the performativity of pedagogical authority is discussed, and new perspectives are introduced, which are based on theories of practice and hegemony (3).
