...and teacher. He writes: “I found it easy to capture interests and pursue needs with elementary school students as a teacher early in my career in education, because of my fortunate legacy of imaginative play. I guess I simply considered it natural to teach about prehistoric times by being a prehistoric man, or to survey world religions by conversing as advocates of different sets of beliefs.” Here, Schubert points to the ubiquitous nature of play both in childhood and throughout life; the Puritans may have attempted to institute a play–work divide, but...

...paradigms make possible and impossible certain subject positions, often rendering women invisible and inarticulable, whom here Hendry seeks to claim rightfully also as theorists in the history of curriculum—but also by beginning with creation stories and female images from prehistoric times. Countering and unsettling a colonizing knowledge regime revealed to be in fact martial, murderous ( Serres, 1989 ), and epistemically violent with curriculum as decolonization, imagination, embodiment, and experience.

Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin ( 2015 ) , for example, discuss suggestions for the beginning of the Anthropocene, including the impact of fire, preindustrial farming, sociometabolism, the meeting of Old and New World human populations,...

Dominant sources often portray the Lumad as a people frozen in time without contemporary struggles, successes, aspirations, or rights.

Plato, Niccoló Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Immanuel Kant are representatives of this multifaceted position, according to which the individual is the real entity while society is secondary and the result of a prehistoric covenant between preexisting subjects. Typically, the person, according to this perspective, renounces her natural right to do whatever pleases her, transferring this right to the sovereign power. She abstains from some of her liberties in exchange for peace, protection, and...
