摘要
This paper addresses the question what is school?', and argues that the answer to this question has an essential political dimension. I focus on two very different attempts to characterize school - Ivan Illich's Deschooling Society and Jan Masschelein and Maarten Simons's In Defence of the School - and demonstrate that both texts miss the political potential which is inherent in school. The two texts are analyzed along two relational axes: relations between school and society, and relations between children and political subjects. Illich rejects children's de-politicization while accepting the assumption that school operates according to a similar logic as society in general. Masschelein and Simons, on the other hand, advocate a separation between school and society, but also accept the separation of children from politics. I aim to integrate Illich's analytical categories into Masschelein and Simons' discussion, in order to mark important directions for political struggles both over and within school.
