This paper analyzes the concept of “difference” in Giroux's critical pedagogy and, via the author's preliminary hypothesis, inquires into the relationship of “difference” and social emancipation.During the 1990s Giroux has emphasized “difference”, especially what the author refers to as the complexity of “difference.” However, in light of Giroux's theory for comprehensive social emancipation, the concept of “difference” simultaneously produces some problematic relationships. The theory of emancipation which is based on only one “difference”, cannot be applied to another “difference” because “difference” exists in plural categories. Moreover, categorizing many kinds of “difference” leads to specific and isolated theories.The solution which Giroux finds for this question in his critical pedagogy refers to the public sphere. Giroux's idea of the public sphere is radically democratic and in that sphere one is able not only to guarantee diverse discourses based on “difference”, but also lead to social emancipation. Also in that sphere one needs transformative intellectuals who articulate the idea of “difference” with reference to emancipation.
