Abstract
In this chapter, we propose to articulate Guattari’s concept of transversality as applied to education as neoliberal pedagogy under twenty-first-century capitalism . To do so, we will delineate an “adversarial relation” between definitions of transversality in the work of Guattari and the appropriation of Guattari ’s concept by neoliberal pedagogical imperatives. In particular, we will investigate a recent report from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that purports to set a framework for the deployment of transversality within the emerging markets of global capitalism . In contrast, we will offer two pedagogical provocations in this chapter that we suggest may open avenues to the further development of antidotes to the neoliberal appropriation of transversality in education .
