Herzog in 'Parables as Subversive Speech: Jesus as Pedagogue of the Oppressed' draws attention to the sociopolitical context of the Gospel parables, which are usually given a spiritualized interpretation. The stories are intended to challenge preconceptions, but they have been domesticated to conform to the status quo. The parables either offer a criticism of the way the world is or a vision of how things could be.

Schoolhouse Gothic: Haunted Hallways and Predatory Pedagogues in Late Twentieth-Century American Literature and Scholarship
Undertaken by insiders and outsiders to the academy alike and embodied both in literature and in academic discourse, the Schoolhouse Gothic draws on Gothic metaphors and themes in representing and interrogating contemporary American schools and educators. In this discourse, curses take the form of persistent power inequities (of race, gender, class, and age) andârather ironicallyâthe Enlightenment itself. In Schoolhouse Gothic literature, including works like Stephen Kingâs Carrie, Rage, Apt Pupil, and âSuffer the Little ChildrenâÂ; Flannery OâConnorâs The Violent Bear It Away; Toni Morrisonâs Beloved; Joyce Carol Oatesâs Beasts, and David Mametâs Oleanna, school buildings, classrooms, and/or offices, function as trapsâanalogues to the claustrophobic family mansions, monasteries, and convents of old. In contrast, Schoolhouse Gothic scholarship offers a metaphorical trap: academic objectivity, viewed as an institutional ideology of concealment that blinds the scholar to his or her own prejudices, rendering even the most well-meaning complicit with inequitable power structures. The combination of curse and trap produces paranoia, violence, and monstrosity. In Schoolhouse Gothic literature, schools turn students into psychopaths and machines. In the scholarship, the product is discourse, seen as âepistemic violenceâ reified. The Schoolhouse Gothic suggestsâat the very leastâthat Americans have become increasingly uneasy about the role of the academy, increasingly mistrustful of its guardians, and increasingly convinced that something sinister lies behind its officially benevolent exterior..
