School
Ian Grosvenor
School is organized around the themes of time, space and place: how schools have organized time, how they mark it; how school spaces are designed to manage flows of people ? how they choreograph movement, and how they discipline and order; how schools are located in clear situations ? in named communities, by social class, signifiers of uniform, and by landscape and building; how they act as museums of past practices, objects and classification, and as fragmented sites of cultural memory. Finally the authors consider how, in the twenty-first century, the discourse of learning shifts the individual into a new space where the complexities of advanced learning technologies, globalization and the knowledge economy represent a radical new context for education. Is this the end for school?
