Diagnosis and education: gestures of reading in Special Education

Abstract

The present work proposes to take the diagnosis as a gesture of reading which includes its production conditions. To do so, it retakes the concept of language operated by psychoanalysis whose model started with Freud’s work – The Interpretation of Dreams (1900). Putting reading into the scene aims to open space so that in the attribution of meaning that all diagnosis addresses it is inscribed the possibility that an unforeseen diagnosis may arise in the school development of those said to be the subjects of special education.
