Abstract

This essay uses Jessica Benjamin's concept of intersubjectivity to consider a third space in the classroom, outside the teacher-centered or student-centered polarity. The intersubjective third space is characterized by the interplay of inner fantasy and recognition of otherness, and it is distinguished, above all, by the tension of paradox.
