Abstract

To what extent does the thesis of love for the teaching profession or praise of the teacher push us into a trap of pedagogical idealism? Wouldn't it be worth asking about other crafts, other (more archaic) plots that adhere to the teacher's job, such as hatred? This article revisits the famous essay by philosopher Theodor Adorno entitled Taboos about teaching (1965) with the aim of analyzing hatred as a historical, social and psychic force that permeates the profession of teaching. In a way, Adorno created a brief social genesis of the teaching profession, a genesis, by the way, that does not dispense with the long work of psychoanalytic elaboration.
