resistance,hybridity,subjectivity,difference,and affect. Always
connectinghertheoreticalstepsto the rhythmsof youth’s lives and
performances,shemakesa compellingcasefor both the pedagogical
powerof the populararts,and the popularpowerofan affective
pedagogy.In the contemporaryworld,whereboth educationand
youth areunderattack,Hickey-Moodyhas written a book that

Youth, Arts, and Education
How are the arts important in young people’s lives? Youth, Arts,
and Education offers a groundbreaking theory of arts education.
Anna Hickey-Moody explores how the arts are ways of belonging,
resisting,beinggoverned,and being heard.
Through examples from the United Kingdom and Australia, this
book shows the cultural significance of the kinds of learning that
occur in and through arts. Drawing on the thought of Gilles
Deleuze, Anna Hickey-Moody develops the theory of affective ped-
agogy, which explains the process of learning that happens through
aesthetics.
Bridging divides between critical pedagogical theory, youth studies,
and artseducationscholarship,this book:
• Explainstheculturalsignificanceofthekindsoflearningthatoccur
in and througharts.
• Advancesa theoryofaesthetic citizenshipcreatedby youth arts.
• Demonstrates ways that arts practices are forms of popular and
public pedagogy.
• Critiques popular ideas that art can be used to fix problems in the
lives ofyouth at risk.
Youth, Arts, and Education is the first post-critical theory of arts
education. It will be of interest to students and scholars across the
socialsciencesandhumanities,inparticularinthesociologyofeduca-
tion,artseducation,youthstudies,sociologyofthearts,andcultural
studies.
