From there I was able to track down this: Derrida-style close reading of the unexamined assumptions in a single paragraph of a paper http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/pagre/formalization.html …

I'm still digging :)
@Meaningness do you know anything about the Lave and Walkerdine books? They look promising, though probably require background I don't have. http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/pagre/er-lave.html …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I think I learned the gist of both at the time, although I didn't actually read either. There's a subtext in both about elementary school math teaching for disadvantaged populations that is more political than I'm comfortable with.

Ah, ok, thanks! It's otherwise close enough to my interests that I may give them a go some time.

My recollection is that the math involved doesn't go much beyond arithmetic, if that's a consideration. To some degree I think Phil was steelmanning Lave and Walkerdine by attributing his own insights to them. I may misremember.

I'm still interested if the maths is basic. I'm more bothered about getting lost in a maze of Foucault and Lacan and having no idea what's going on.

Lave writes clearly, so that's not an issue. About Walkerdine, I can't remember.

OK that's good to know. Yeah, Lacan and Foucault were mentioned wrt the Walkerdine book.

Ah yes, I recognised the words 'legitimate peripheral participation' from this while googling Lave earlier. Didn't realise you'd cited her specifically there!
