- W4200364993 abstract "This article analyses the use of ‘the disc’ – a curious pedagogical post-colonial artifact, intended to discourage native languages – a tool employed in teaching colonial languages in schools in parts of the post-colonial world. The disc assumes many forms depending on where it is employed, but it is usually an object fashioned to be carried, or worn as an article of clothing, or a cap making it reminiscent of the Dunce Cap. The role of the disc and its variants is the same: to leverage surveillance and shaming and channel them towards the purposes of instilling school discipline, promoting moral education and often as a pedagogical tool. However, the use of shame for these purposes has since fallen out of favour in the West (Stearns & Stearns 2017 Stearns, Peter, and Stearns, Clio. 2017. ‘American Schools and the Uses of Shame: An Ambiguous History’. History of Education 46 (1): 58–75. doi: https://doi.org/10.1080/0046760X.2016.1185671[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). Using Michel Foucault’s notion of panopticism to illuminate the workings of this artifact, this article focuses on shedding some light on the indignities suffered by speakers of native languages in such post-colonial school systems. As Foucault (1980 Foucault, Michel. 1980. Power/Knowledge: Selected Interviews and Other Writings, 1972-1977. Translated by Colin Gordon et al. New York: Pantheon. [Google Scholar], 30) wrote, power reaches into the very grain of individuals, touches their bodies and inserts itself into their actions, attitudes, their discourses, learning processes and everyday lives. This article’s main gist is on this one aspect of colonial legacy in education: the language policies that put a premium on mastery of colonial over native languages. Among the issues typical in post-colonial discourse, this vestige represents apt exemplification of deleterious aspects of colonialism that continue to present perverse challenges in post-colonial societies. It however concurs, in spite of the blistering critique of the emphasis on colonial language use, and in light of a rapidly globalising world, with Kevin Forster’s (2003 Forster, Kevin, 2003. ‘Panopticonics: The Control and Surveillance of Black Female Athletes in a Collegiate Athletic Program’. Anthropology & Education Quarterly 34 (3): 300–323. doi: https://doi.org/10.1525/aeq.2003.34.3.300[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) analysis, which concludes that in instances where contemporary values like empowerment and perfection is gained while sacrificing autonomy and freedom from surveillance, subjugation could be seen as worthwhile." @default.
