Abstract:
Desire and learning to read and write. Desire and the learning of the acts of reading and writing, as well as their acquisition are analyzed in this text from the psychoanalytical logic founded by Freud and updated by Lacan. The school and the family demand a change in the posture of the child toward a new existencial perspective as the subject of the learning process. The shift needed for this change is covered in Lacan's Seminars and allows us to analyze the status of the school aged child who is challenged to break with the imaginary and throw him/herself towards a symbolic existence in the world of spoken and written language.
Keywords:
