Abstract
This paper discusses the imaginary formations related to discursive manifestations of teachers, recorded in classes in a private higher education institution. Some questions guided the investigation: how the teacher imagines his class and where this imaginary comes from; what he teaches beyond systematized knowledge; and how the teacher / student relationship via speech occurs in the classroom. The corpus consists of five class cut-outs recorded in the Administration course, of five teachers from different areas. The theoretical reference is the French Discourse Analysis. The text found, as a result, that at the moment the teacher verbalizes, the incompleteness occurs, the failure, because the knowledge he possesses is imbricated with the symbolic. It also verified that the class is more than a practice of transmission of scientific knowledge, because the teacher, determined by the socially constituted imaginary, reproduces socially crystallized values, roles and ways of thinking.
