Basil Bernstein
Basil Bernstein: The Thinker and the Field provides a comprehensive introduction to the work of Basil Bernstein, demonstrating his distinctive contribution to social theory by locating it within the historical context of the development of the sociology of education and Sociology in Britain. Although Bernstein had a particular interest in education, he did not see himself as a sociologist of education alone. By exploring Bernstein’s intellectually collaborative character and the evolving system of ideas, drawing upon anthropology and linguistics, the originality of Bernstein’s contribution to the social sciences can be truly identified. Rob Moore’s text offers a provocative and challen...

New Learning, Second Edition is an inspiring and comprehensive resource for pre-service and in-service teachers alike.
Basil Bernstein, Code Theory, and Education
Over a career spanning forty years, Basil Bernstein produced theoretical models about the workings of educational systems, and how these systems produce social relations of inequality. He was considered by many to be a radical scholar whose work generated enormous controversies. One such controversy was around code theory, specifically restricted and elaborated codes which came to signify--for some scholars--the deficit views of those living in poverty. Bernstein weathered the intensity of the debates around these ideas, spending much of his career vehemently challenging deficit portrayals of code theory, reworking and extending his theoretical corpus with the development of ideas around ped...
Knowledge, Power and Educational Reform
Selected writings from an international team of scholars, highlighting the contribution made to the field of educational policy and educational policy research by Basil Bernstein's work on the sociology of pedagogy.
Towards a Theory of Educational Transmissions
Illustrating the effect of class relationships upon the institutionalizing of elaborate codes in the school, the papers in this volume each develop from the previous one and demonstrate the evolution of the concepts discussed.
The Structuring of Pedagogic Discourse
This book represents part of an ongoing effort to understand the rules, practices, agencies and agents which shape and change the social construction of pedagogic discourse. It draws together and re-examines the findings of the author's earlier work.
Basil Bernstein: Class, Codes and Control
Basil Bernstein rarely had a good press in the forty-odd years in which he presented his developing theories to the public. Early admiration for his sociolinguistic 'discoveries' - of codes which regulate, at a deep-structural level, family beliefs and behaviours and relationships, as well as surface utterances - turned quite quickly into a suspicion that his description of social class difference amounted to a declaration of working class deficit. Although Bernstein's writings, particularly in the 1990s, became opaque to the point of seeming to be purposefully obscurantist, they have always been enlivened by clear, pithy and punchy statements which left no room for ambiguity about the case he was making. The struggle to achieve an education system which would offer genuinely equal opportunities to children from all class and cultural backgrounds continued to underpin the writing and teaching of his later years.
Discourse and Reproduction
Basil Bernstein was one of the most important figures in British sociology, his ideas having inspired a great deal of empirical research and theoretical speculation throughout the world. The purpose of this collection, however, is not to collect memoirs and celebrations of Bernstein. It contains a collection of work by authors who are concerned with contemporary issues and analyses. Each author represented has to some extent been influenced by Bernstein, and thus uses Bernstein's ideas as a point of departure as well as to develop original analyses and perspectives. All of the chapters in this volume are original and each chapter is intended to make a contribution to the sociology of education and educational thought.
Pedagogy, Symbolic Control, and Identity
This volume, the fifth in the series developing Bernstein's code theory, presents a clear account of the developments of this code theory and shows the close relation between its development and the empirical research to which the theory has given rise.
