Interaction Rescaled: How Monastic Debate Became a Diasporic Pedagogy

Abstract: Rather than assume the relevance of a priori scalar distinctions (micro-, macro-, meso-), this article examines scale as an emergent dimension of sociospatial practice in educational institutions. Focusing on Buddhist debate at Tibetan monasteries in India, I describe how this educational practice has been placed as a rite of institution within the perimeter of Sera Monastery in India and rescaled into a more expansive diasporic pedagogy by reformers like the Dalai Lama.

“…There has been a bias in educational linguistics (especially salient in approaches adopting conversation analysis) that the proper unit of analysis is the local, physically immediate. However, as Lempert (2012) and Blommaert (2013) have argued, talk is constituted by features that are not immediately visible or predictable. Scales enable us to consider the unit of analysis as layered, interpreting meanings that might be conveyed at different scales of consideration for the subjects involved.…”

“…In this sense, it is a passive backdrop to meaning negotiation and construction. However, object-oriented ontologies have made linguists sensitive to the fact that the material world is agentive (as in the increasing influence of the thinking of those like Latour in educational linguistics -see Kell, 2010Kell, , 2013Lempert, 2012). Similarly, spatial paradigms of those like de Certeau (1984) and Bourdieu (1977) have also made linguists sensitive to the spatiotemporal influences on texts and talk and contingent semiotic repertoires of language users (see Pennycook & Otsuji, 2015).…”
