Performing the Sign: mathematics, democracy and the arts     

Special Editor: Dr. Dalene M. Swanson 

This is a call for articles for a special edition of Educational Insights,
www.educationalinsights.ca <http://www.educationalinsights.ca/>  an online,
international, peer-reviewed, education journal based at The University of
British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.

The title, Performing the Sign: mathematics, democracy and the arts, is
intended to incite a range of responses to themes created by the
constitutive relationship between mathematics, democracy and the arts. The
multiple significations and interpretations created through the performance
of the words in the title in relationship to each other and to discourses in
the social domain open up and signal possibilities of engagement with
critical theoretical ideas and innovative textual productions.

Our intention is to publish articles that readers may find evocative and
provocative. It is hoped that these articles will elicit novel perspectives,
thereby contributing to understandings within mathematics education,
curriculum studies, cultural studies, and/or arts-based or infused inquiry,
teaching and learning. The articles may employ ideas and tenets from
semiotic theory, performance theory, critical theory, contemporary
socio-cultural and political theories, to name a few, and may be
interdisciplinary or integrated in approach.
