"In The Ignorant Schoolmaster, Rancière uses the historical figure of Joseph Jacotot as a way of discussing human nature, education, pedagogy, ignorance, intelligence, and emancipation. These ideas have profound implications on the nature of schooling and research, and the role that teachers and scholars play. "

this type of bureaucratic sentence can be found in the truck driving license manual in New Zealand. Incredibly, when my immigrant friend,came to me to help clarify the meanings of these obtuse and meaningless sentences, I volunteered to go with him to the testing station myself to talk to the official behind the counter. Sure enough, when I asked the man for clarification, the man personally came out from behind his box, pointed to the words in the manual and read it out loud word for word!
