What about the Little Ones, Lord? innocence and guilt in Educational Pastoral's

Abstract

Grounding on Jesus' words in St. Mark's Gospel and Comenius' foreword in Didactica Magna, I carry out an interdiscursive analysis, in Foucault's manner,
to answer the question "What of the small children, my Lord1" I inscribe those positivities into one single time series, as I find the narrative constancy of the infant as spinning
round two axles: the one of her innocence and the one of her effective guilt. I claim that the game of power-truth-subjectivity of our Educational Pastoral is established this
way. A Pastoral that proceeds with a messianic eschatology on the background, molded
as a Holy Alliance, to reach the Promised Land of the Real-Subject -linguistic function-
place that, under the framework of the modem finality, empowered itself to replace
God.
