Queridos colegas,
Estoy un poco perdida con el uso de estos dos términos en este contexto...
debajo encontrarán el párrafo en que aparece. Se trata de un texto sobre reforma educativa.
Se agradece desde ya toda idea que puedan darle a mis neuronas.
Gracias miles!
Eileen

The focus on the limits of the practices of schooling is not to argue against salvation themes that strive for a more humane and just world [...]. It is just the opposite. The strategy is of an optimism that to unthink what seems natural is to open other possibilities of schooling, teaching, and teacher education. To make the naturalness of the present as strange and contingent is a political strategy of change; to make visible the INTERNMENTS and ENCLOSURES OF THE COMMONSENSE OF SCHOOLING is to make them contestable

Explanation:
Es difícil ya que es muy metafórico pero pensé en esta solución con el sentido de "aclarar, revelar, despejar los puntos oscuros".
Espero que esto te ayude .

encierros y cerramientos


Explanation:
there are several possibilities, but I chose this one for the strong connection it draws between the action (encierro) and the instrument (cerramiento)
