RIOLFI, Claudia Rosa. Psychoanalysis and the teacher who has chickened out. []. , 17, 2, pp.344-358. ISSN 1415-7128.

Given the education's commodification, we are in train to experience an epidemic which symptom is the teacher's loss of courage. It begins withthe difficulty to bare the anguish generated by the distance between the empiric student and the one from the mythic past, who was spontaneously interested by articulated knowledge. Its result is the impossibility, by the new generations, to create a relationship with knowledge that goes far beyond its pragmatic use. As it gives privilege to real, Lacan's second clinic allows the foundation of non-moralistic solutions to this impasse. Also, it allows us to understand that, besides the solutions that are ready in our culture, singular and creative solutions are necessary.
