Abstract
This poem replaces the conventional Preface in my edited volume on theories in education. As such it makes a political and methodological statement concerning what counts as 'research' in the social sciences and liberal arts. It connects to my introductory chapter where I reflect on the various modalities that contributors operationalised in order to connect with the a wider readership and find appropriate means of expression for their work, such as a two act play, readers' theatre and practice-as-research. The poem is a highly abstracted reflection on fragmentation, care for the self (Foucault) and the paradox of the private/public in education. It draws on various unspecified artworks and the opera Bluebeard's Castle, by Bella Bartok.
