The Secret Downing Street Memo and the Politics of Truth A Performance Text

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Reading forward from the recently released secret Downing Street Memos, to th 2001 No Child Left Behind Act, in this performance text Ⅰ critique the Bush Administration and its reliance on science, or evidence-based models of inquiry (SBR). SBR raises issues concerning the politics of truth and evidence. These issues intersect with the ways in which a given political regime fixes facts to fit ideology. Three versions of SBR are discussed, as is a model of science as disruptive cultural practice. I conclude by calling for a merger of critical pedagogy with a prophetic, feminist post-pragmatism.
