Summary:

This book provides a new understanding of art education, connecting art, necessity, and pedagogy. Plenty has been written about art education, but its potential contribution to inner autonomy and existential emancipation due to the re-articulation of time and space in art has not been adequately explored in a pedagogic context. This book explores art as an affective continuum--not a plaything of culture, but rather a mode of alignment of the existential Eros with our ontological truth. Kaustuv Roy is Professor and Head of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, India. Roy earned his Ph.D from Michigan State University, and was faculty at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, USA. He has published seven books with Palgrave Macmillan, including Technohumanism, Global Crises, and Education: Toward a Posthuman Pedagogy, 2022.
