Critical Pedagogy According to Marx: On Western Marxism, the New Marx Reading and Its Connections to Pedagogy

ABSTRACT. The article brings together variants of German pedagogical Marx reception and three central historical readings of Marx’s theory. After an overview of the interpretations of Traditional Marxism, Western Marxism, and the New Marx Reading, it is shown that the pedagogical reception is predominantly connected with Western Marxism. It is argued that perspectives of a critical pedagogy that takes up insights from the currently popular reading of the New Marx Reading, particularly that in germanophone scholarship, are yet to be developed. pp. 11–25
