ABSTRACT

Taking pleasure in a catastrophe stems from two different impulses which are rather suspect and therefore will avoid showing their naked and true face. “The happy feeling of actual survival is a matter of intensive lust. Once it has been admitted and legitimated, it will long for being repeated and will rapidly become an insatiable passion”. Revolutionary impatience has taken the place of the patience of the small steps and the forbearance which learning so often requires. But the basic interest is with the result of the process and with the predetermined objective, and not with the process itself and its meandering paths. Involvement is no longer something which happens, but something which has to be created according to the rules of educational art in order to reach a political or any other objective. Pedagogical production has differentiated its task field.
