English commentary: "The intention of this article is to rethink the nature and function of pedagogic desire. Drawing on a range of sources it considers current conceptions of both teacher and student desire and theorisations of desire and the body in education. Finally, it proposes an alternate model drawing upon Bourdieu’s notion of habitus and the philosophical insights of Spinoza’s monist logic." (abstract)
