Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Firstly the author comments on the polysemy of names in Homer’s Odyssey, Ulysses “of a thousand tricks”, Circe “the twister”, to disclose two poles in the construction of sense in the discourse, that of stability as opposed to variation of sense. On this basis, she defines three kinds of knowledge: demonstrative knowledge ( logos), narrative knowledge ( myth) that of actions and trickery ( metis). This echoes the activity of teaching and the role of the sophists in the Greek cities of antiquity. She emphasises the link between this activity and the exercise of democracy and political formation.
