N2  - French education is undergoing a period of profound change. Many questions concerning the child and their relationship with school or with adults are being raised. These kinds of questions are becoming a barrier for teachers whose goal is only teaching. However, this crisis, like many others, could be a good opportunity for those who aim to face this question bravely in order to understand its characteristics and structure. In this way, if we consider that the pupil is also a human being endowed with feelings (affects), carrying his own but also a collective story, we can seek to understand, thanks to psychoanalysis, how the fear of learning and the difficulty of thinking reveal a real transformation and a highly complex situation that can no longer be ignored. The child can no longer leave his or her affects on the doorstep of the school, because neither our society nor our culture can take care of these feelings any longer. The child and the school must deal with these feelings. Moreover, the child’s anxiety relates to existential questions: Where do I come from? What is death? What is love? Now, it appears that children’s literature, written in this infinite cultural flood, taking its source from the oral and ancestral tradition of mythology and fairy tales, may represent an exceptional cultural mediation to allow the child to restore his or her imagination function, which is very closely linked to his or her reflexive capacity, the basis of all learning. In this way, children’s literature, which contains collective representations and stages a potential personal experience in the realm of imagination, would allow the child to create the link between his or her daily way of living and the concept; between his or her personal story and place in the world (universality) within a real perspective of the anthropology of school learning
