Education is not only for knowing, but it also plays a pivotal role in constituting what a person is, what he will be, and how she positions herself in personal, social, or societal life contexts. All those life contexts are interpreted, experienced, and constructed by people themselves. The resulting narratives are sometimes explicit and verbalized, sometimes implicit and unelected. One of the most inspiring thoughts in Bill Doll’s theorizing of curriculum has been the ground-breaking analyses of ghosts. The ghost is a powerful metaphor, character in a narrative, related to understanding the life world.
