Interesting. One of the pragmatic uses of deconstuction and post-modernism
at least in early education is to break itself from the chains of child
development. Child development being the master lens in which all early
childhood experience is seen. A history that when talking about latter
elementary, middle and beyond there is room for critical moments, yet with
early childhood education child development has a certain dominance. It must
have something to do with those "creatures" being pre-cultural or
pre-historical and a natural and biological frame makes more sense.

Seems reasonable to me, Alfred. I call what I think you are
gesturing toward is what I refer to as "interdisciplines."
Some believe that the study of human development qualifies
as such on this campus, but do not believe the same of
education (to pick two potential interdisciplines whose
reductionist tendencies pull in opposite directions).
