Özet:
In the last few decades, the experience of many rural communities has been deindustrialization and disruption. This dissertation seeks to understand how Burke and Cleveland Counties, North Carolina, are responding to these socio-economic issues and what response an exploration of the fields of education, Christian education, theology, and philosophy offer for these communities.
The first chapter is a review of literature related to the rural communities in focus. The research utilizes discourse analysis to explore the responses of the rural communities. It is further analyzed using Jacques Derrida's notion of hauntedness. The analysis reveals a tension between value systems, a favoring of the past, and the desire for homogeneity. The hauntedness present includes a self-conjured ghost of lost futures. The horror of a lost future often paralyzes the community and disheartens those who desire change.
The second chapter explores the fields of radical, rural, and Christian religious education, to explore possible responses. Radical education encourages a process of naming the world to create many new futures. Rural education points toward a rethinking of rural life as a means of educating for thriving in place. Christian education provides the framework for creating new futures while using both Christian and rural heritage in ways which can disrupt toxic hauntedness.
Chapter Three engages the work of several philosophers and theologians. These scholars provide the ideas for new sources of value. These sources offer potential for imagining and creating new futures beyond simple existence through a relaunching of heritage.
The work of theologians John and Charles Wesley is the basis of Chapter Four. Their work allows for both a new source of value in the love of God and a spiritual pulling toward new possible futures. Further, their practices of ministry allow persons to develop new relationships and means of building their future.
The final chapter offers the beginnings of a pedagogy of rural re-membering beyond economics and tradition. This pedagogy calls for confession, sabbath imagination, communal creation, and intentional reflection as the communities seek to live into their potential futures while still honoring and utilizing their heritage and values.
