ABSTRACT
It has been argued that the Aristotelian discourse enabled a change in mindset in regards to 'becoming a knower'. A combination of Lacan's and Klafki's didactical models provides an analytic tool with which to understand didactical leadership, teaching and learning strategies it is suggested here. Social media, Twitter and YouTube enable 'the public' to send in photographs and films to describe an ongoing event somewhere in the world. Aristotelian discourse has to a degree relied on behaviourist approaches to the reinforcement of behaviours pertaining to learning. The Aristotelian leader was recommended to consider virtue and justice as two of his traits. Ethical dimensions of virtual behaviour should be considered as part of leadership strategies. Networked space provides new sources of learning available anywhere to the modern student. Network theory and assemblage theory are closely related and belong to the new materialist sociologies.
