Lacan lector de Freud y de La Carta Robada de Poe, ha construido un público y un lector que no están dados de manera anticipada. Digo no están, porque la lectura, cada vez, construye uno. La transmisión de una enseñanza sólo puede ocurrir en tiempo presente porque no se trata de transmitir lo ocurrido, sino de que ocurra un decir. En el presente trabajo intentaré ubicar las coordenadas de una política de lectura y de transmisión de una enseñanza que se sostienen en una resistencia al dogma, a la verdad establecida, al poder de las Instituciones. Una transmisión sostenida en un decir que ha dejado caer la referencia al universal, posibilitando la emergencia de un lector que no es dado anticipadamente, y una lectura como acontecimiento en las antípodas del poder de la fascinación y del adormecimiento que producen los saberes sedimentados. Palabras clave Lectura, Enseñanza, Transmisión, Acontecimiento Abstract READING AS EVENT Lacan, as reader of Freud and of Poe’s “The Purloined Letter,” has constructed an audience and a reader that are not given as pre-existing. I say they are not so given, because one is constructed, each time, in the act of reading. The transmission of a lesson can only occur in the present, because it is not a question of transmitting the thing that happened, but rather that a saying could occur. In this work I will attempt to situate the coordinators of a politics of reading,and of transmission of a lesson, which is supported on the basis of a resistance against dogma, against established truth, against the power of institutions. A transmission that is supported on the basis of a saying that has let reference to the universal fall away,allowing for the emergence of a reader who is not an a priori given, and a reading as event occurring at the antipodes of the power of fascination and boredom that are produced by sedimented knowledges.
