摘要:Abstract This essay uses Shakespeare’s The Tempest as a way of conceptualising modern institutional education. The over-systematisation of formal education which characterises professional teaching and learning in the twenty-first century is designated “SysEd.” The flaws in SysEd are discussed and a less structured space of educational experience, named “ardenspace,” is described in theoretical and practical terms. The idea of an institutional counterpublic is deployed to take account of the student audience being evoked by teaching that resists SysEd. The characters and plot of The Tempest are used to embody this argument.
