education as a modernist institution is characterised by the ‘spaces of enclosure’ of the book, the classroom and the curriculum - spaces which work to enclose meaning. The learner’s task is then one of extracting a singular canonical meaning and the teacher’s that of being the ‘authority’ in terms of interpretation and accuracy.
