“THE PROFESSOR’S MANIAS”: TRANSFERENTIAL TIES BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENT IN TIMES OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

The aim of this article is to reflect on the transference ties between teachers and students in the pedagogical relationship in the time of quarantine caused by the pandemic COVID-19. This is a theoretical-bibliographic research in the field of psychoanalysis and education in which authors such as Freud, Lajonquière, Kupfer, Tardif, Nóvoa, Santos, among others, were consulted. We use some Freudian constructs such as, unconscious, transference and the desire to know. We defend the idea that the educational process is based on the bond that involves teacher and student. At the end of this work, we were able to signify that these links occur fundamentally in the field of language and are the basis that supports the educational act even if it does not happen in the classroom. In this sense, we believe that the theme proposed here carries with it great importance for studies in education.
