Chapter 9 of the book "Provocations: Sylvia Ashton-Warner and Excitability in Education," is presented. It psychoanalyzes the nature of Warner's provocations and the tendency in education and life to censure excitation and find comfort not in our ability to create excess, but in people's ability to return to composure as stasis. It traces the havoc of Ashton-Warner's provocations and from it, unravels her as herald of the new woman teacher, an anthem to her generation and a plague to biographers. |
