This document discusses the critique of educational institutions in the 1970s and its relationship to theories of "liquid pedagogy" and "deschooling" in the 21st century. It argues that the critique of schools in the 1970s both reflected and contributed to the emergence of a new "liquid" social imaginary that was skeptical of large institutions. Further, it claims that liquid pedagogy has its roots in the deschooling theories of the 1970s, though the relationship is one of "homothetic transformation" rather than a straight line. The document examines how historians can analyze this continuity between the deschooling critique and later theories through new perspectives.
