A gap between the other and me: of the uncanny and alterity in education

Discusses the concept of the uncanny in the arts, anthropology and psychoanalysys in order to analyze the poetical and political injunctions of the uncanny in education. It considers the problem of the relationship between self and the other in contemporary society, more specifically, in the manifestation of the uncanny - wich may refer both to a feeling and to a form of representation - in educational spaces - supposedly familiar or for familiarization. The theme, therefore, is alterity, taken as a form of visibility and relationship with the other. The study proposes to consider teaching as an expression of the uncanny.
