Jan Jagodzinski
Jan Jagodzinski (born 1948) is a Canadian scholar and Professor Emeritus of Visual Arts and Media Education at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. He spells his name in lowercase.
In 1977, Jagodzinski became a Master of Education (M.Ed.) at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. He continued his studies there and received his doctorate in 1980.
From 1980 to 1982, Jagodzinski held a joint appointment as Assistant Professor of Art and Curriculum at Mount St. Vincent University and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, Canada. In 1982, he joined the University of Alberta as an art instructor, became an assistant professor in 1983 and served as a professor of visual art and media education until 2022. Jagodzinski has also held visiting- and guest professorships at the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Klagenfurt Austria.
In his books, the numerous book chapters and journal articles, Jagodzinski approaches art, art education, and curriculum issues through the lens of psychoanalytic and philosophical theory.
His first book, The Anamorphic I/i : Finding My Own Step Through The (My)Nfield of Pheminism and Art (1996), written over the course of ten years, “is a labyrinth of passages … created by a personal search which began by asking what relationships might be possible for a straight male to various forms of feminism, queer theories, and gay and lesbian issues of representation as they are played out in … visual&art education, film, and cultural studies.”
In Postmodern Dilemmas: Outrageous Essays in Art&Art Education (1997) and Pun(k) Deconstruction: Experifigural Writings in Art&Art Education (1997), Jagodzinski addresses issues of postmodernity and poststructuralism in his attempt to deconstruct the current paradigm of art education.
In the trilogy on everyday media practices and youth culture, Youth Fantasies: The Perverse Landscape of Media (2004), Musical Fantasies: A Lacanian Approach (2005), and Youth and Television Culture: Televised Paranoia (2008), Jagodzinski uses a psychoanalytic framework to explore the meaning of “youth” and what “youth” wants in postmodern industrialized countries.
Questions about current challenges to education, art, and art education, and where their future may be headed, are addressed in Art and Education in an Era of Designer Capitalism: Deconstructing the Oral Eye (2010), and in the edited volumes Arts Based Research. A Critique and a Proposal (2013, co-edited with Jason Wallin), The Precarious Future of Education (2017), and What is Art Education? After Deleuze and Guattari (2017).
