However, to what degree has this model of breaking away from others and the world contributed to the current crisis in education, society, and ecology even before the tragic COVID-19 pandemic and responses to it? How can our re-imagining of creativity contribute to the mutual flourishing of humanity and of relations between humans and the planet? Daoist creativity, based upon relationality and interdependence, has much to offer to today's curriculum as a complicated conversation to sustain life and renew the world. Integrative, emergent, embodied, co-creative, and ecological, Daoist creativity has a built-in opening to difference through the organic relationality of \u003cem\u003eYin\/Yang\u003c\/em\u003e dynamics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on one essential thread in Daoism-integrative creativity through organic relationality-and weaves its interplay with Western thought through multiple and intertwined dimensions of curriculum. Exploring \u003cem\u003eDao\u003c\/em\u003e as dynamic and setting creative curriculum in motion, this book juxtaposes the notion of \u003cem\u003eWuwei\u003c\/em\u003e and self-organization to conceptualize emergent classroom dynamics, and re-envisions the inner landscape of education through negotiating dialogues between the Jungian psyche and Daoist dynamics. Further, it explores gendered implications of Daoism to interact with feminism and formulates the pursuit of inner and outer peace through creative harmony to inform nonviolence curriculum. Synthesizing cross-cultural insights and wisdom, it provides an in-depth and intuitive understanding of the interactions between Daoist and Western creativity and elaborates a curriculum of integrative creativity for students, teachers, and their educational community. Let us all attend to the urgent call for individual and collective awakenings and for creativity that connects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hongyu Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1648025846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781648025846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Information Age Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.53d","brand":"Hongyu Wang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981669073151,"sku":"9781648025846","price":55.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f70a51d-ca12-441e-886f-57b9cf83b1dd.jpg?v=1683256874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-daoism-organic-relationality-and-hongyu-wang-9781648025846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
