Abstract or DescriptionIn her chapter, “A Pedagogy of Possibilities: Drama as Reading Practice”, Maggie Pitfield examines the practices of a secondary English teacher with her pupils in a London urban school, with a focus on the ways the teacher’s practices resist policy-directed discourses. Drawing on literary theory, Pitfield analyses the ways drama, as an embodied art form, is integral to the pupils’ and teacher’s shared meanings in their intra-actions with literary texts. Pitfield argues that the dramatic activity in which they are materially and conceptually entangled enables relationalities of criticality and creativity and the active production of culture.
