Reviews
"""This book is very important for the whole field of education. It is essential reading for anyone wanting deeper understanding of the extraordinary education project of Reggio Emilia, delving into its underpinning pedagogy, politics, ethics, culture and philosophy as well as the ‘competent system’ that enables it. It contests the impoverished education of the neoliberal hegemony, with its standardised criteria and predetermined outcomes. It leaves the reader with hope that another world is possible as that hegemony passes."" Peter Moss, Emeritus Professor, UCL Institute of Education""A city that cares and collective research – these enchanting concepts are the opening words and ethos of this book that describes the role of the pedagogistas in Reggio Emilia. However, the book does not only describe the role of the pedagogistas, it also demonstrates how this role is constantly put into play, into the not-yet - ‘mettersi in gioco’- through the pedagogistas’ lived experiences together with the children, the teachers, the parents and engaged others. In tune with Reggio Emilia’s tradition of systemic and pragmatic thinking, the role of the pedagogista is placed in an ecology of practices, which opens up towards speculative pragmatic thinking; towards events, affect and minor gestures, and towards life in its widest sense. The book also sends a message of hope and a call for an education commons, which is so important when education systems internationally are experiencing the dissolution of collective action."" Gunilla Dahlberg, Emeritus Professor, Stockholm University"
