Abstract

The article deals with an approach to knowing and knowledge from the psychoanalytical theory, which states that intellectual curiosity stems from sexual curiosity. The knowledge thus obtained revolves around a lack embodied in the structure of language, a 'knowing in failure'. Considering intellectual inhibition as one of the consequences of the child's self-explorations, it is theorized that writing is a construct that operates an 'act of separation' from the Other, like the effect of a loss.
