Abstract:

On Troubadorial Pedagogy is a work that explores new methods in poetic and rhetorical education. Striving to bring to light new methods and tools for working toward self-realization, and its essential dissolve into the art of teaching, it is a methodology for locating the self, and then sacrificing the self for its work in the public domain. In summary, the Troubadorial Pedagogy is a bridge over which a man can walk from his left brain to his right brain and back again.

The narrative follows the classical style of dialogue, as two characters sit on the ledge of a building, pondering the problems of humanity as it has just lost its concept of money and dissolved into disorder. Each character professes to the other, expounding on how his ideas function and why they should be implemented. The other retorts, and builds his own model, only for it to be toppled, in turn, and re-worked.

The Troubadorial Pedagogy emerges out of these dueling intellects. Regarding the inevitable systems and politics that come with belonging to a society, it lays out a multitude of options that address how to either abide by or change one's social system, as well as how acting upon them can be either sustaining, or catastrophic to the human race. Considering and critically analyzing the principles of art, the Troubadorial Pedagogy unmasks the mind's mechanics of self-direction and personal motivation.

In the tradition of such thinkers as Michel Serres, Ayn Rand, Joseph Campbell, Frantz Fanon and others, On Troubadorial Pedagogy will surely fuel passionate discussion in a time of global revolution. By juxtaposing destructionism and deconstructionism, the Troubadorial Pedagogy plants itself in between, and speaks from a vantage point poised on the lip of infinity.
