<Articles PART I : BEYOND THE SELF>How Do We Make Language in Educational Discourse Anew : Children's Experience of 'Beyond the Self' and 'The Rustle of Language' in G. Bataille

Abstract

In this paper, first, the usage of the concept of 'authenticity (authentic language)' in P. Standish's book Beyond the Self, with comparing the idea of it in R. Barthes reading G. Bataille. Secondly, I discuss the structure of discourse of play theory in G. Bataille. As Standish distinguishes the following two ideas about language: limitations and limits. According to him, the idea of limits of language contains rich possibilities discussing education authentic. Further, he relies on the concept of 'authenticity' in relation to modern education based on Heidegger, Wittgenstein, and Barthes: and Barthes seems to play the main role. However, Barthes' perspective on authentic language comes from an analysis in Bataille that is extremely radical. This tendency becomes clear when it comes to children's 'experience'. Finally Bataille's idea and re-interpretation on 'authenticity' in the educational context will be focused.
