The difficulties of enthusiasm at school: Freud, Derrida, Fachinelli

Abstract

What happens to the enthusiasm and exaltation you encounter at school? This is the guiding question of the essay which seeks to investigate the deformation of scholastic knowledge: as happened to Sigmund Freud, who, on a trip to Athens, remembered scholastic knowledge as insignificant or to Jacques Derrida, who remembers school as hell. With their words and the psychoanalytic analyzes of Elvio Fachinelli, the essay aims to understand what prevents the generation of pleasure inside and outside the school walls.
