- SISYPHUS’ ROCK AND FREUD’S ONE: FROM REJECTION OF CONFLICTS TO POLITICS AS A WAY OUT

Abstract

It starts from the classical concept of politics as an art that forms the backbone of the three Freudian impossibilities: educate, govern and psychoanalyze, and reviews the background of these trades or practices that allow some treatment of that limit theorized by Freud: the word. The Freudian impossibles are also articulated with the Lacanian enunciation, the unconscious is politics. Bernfeld and Camus reading's about Sisyphus' myth leads to consider the impasse as an interval and not as a dead end. The impasse as an interval founds an edge, a void that inaugurates desiring displacements. This conception allows the interruption of daily life that comes with conflicts in educational institutions with the technical authority that social responsibility demands of those who practice the impossible of educating.
