Abstract

The sudden changes to which we are increasingly exposed, deriving from the unpredictability of events, often lead young people towards individualism, thus causing a lack of interest in the relationship with the Other or even in the desire for the Other. The result is a tendency to pursue the satisfaction of one's needs in the illusion of giving an answer to one's desires. Assuming the Lacanian perspective, desire cannot ignore the presence of the Other, indeed, the Ego needs the Other to exist, it exists only through the signifiers of the Other. Stemming from these premises, this article investigates the concept of desire by proposing a possible didactic-pedagogical declination within an inclusive perspective, with the aim of soliciting a reflection on the existence of an authentic desire that constantly emerges in the relationship between teacher and student. A desire that is not the synthesis of other-directed desires, but which, especially in the presence of special educational needs, can promote the realization of the Individual Life Project through the exercise of self-determination.
