This book is for everyone who loves music. It is also for people interested in a new way of learning that incorporates music in engaging, creative, and transformative ways to enhance and accelerate learning.

Teachers, parents, students, college professors, researchers, scientists, and musicians will find this book of interest. Included in the book is introductory information for students and researchers who want to learn Kincheloe's advanced and rigorous qualitative research process, the multidimensional critical complex bricolage. It is not your ordinary bricolage and it takes research and writing to a whole new level. The process can be applied within all disciplines.

Of interest to scientists and researchers is the introduction to Kincheloe's critical science of complexity and how he has synthesized enactive, chaos, complexity, and other theories.

And finally, the author interprets two songs embedded in the writings of the late philosopher-educator, Joe Kincheloe, to demonstrate how he uses music in his work pedagogically. Following his lead by incorporating music into more facets of our lives in positive, transformative ways, we can create a better, more enjoyable life for ourselves and a better world for us all. You will never view music in the same light again. The author has researched the late Joe Kincheloe's work and has applied his critical complex theories for more than seven years.

Hermeneutics: The Great Debate and How Kincheloe's Key Codes Catalyze Getting Out of the Endless Ouroboros Cycle

ARTICLE by Vanessa Paradis, September, 11, 2013 22 pages. $9.00

This article uses as a framework a quotation from Joe L. Kincheloe’s book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction to examine hermeneutics as interpretation in context with the rest of his legacy. There has been great contention over the use of hermeneutics and as all these debates tend to go, they are dualistic in nature and, as a consequence, travel in an endless cycle of debate. This article explores how Kincheloe provides a means to catalyze the conversation and get researchers out of the Ouroboros.

In this article you'll be introduced to key codes and how to identify and link similar key codes in various texts to gain a greater understanding of the obscure, hidden meanings by which some authors choose to communicate.

The article also provides an idiosyncratic application, among many possibilities, of Kincheloe's Fourth Dimension (highly intuitive) Research in order to understand the global shift of the ages, and an example of following his recommendation to “construct knowledge and formulate action based on eros with its drive to alleviate human suffering [that] serves as a counterpoise to the empire’s positivistic thanatos" (Kincheloe, 2008, p. 100).

The article includes interesting photographs, links, and references for more information.
