JEAN-PHILIPPE BLONDEL, G 229. TEACHING WITH ATTACHMENT AND PASSION

Summary/Abstract: Jean-Philippe Blondel is a French writer born in 1964. He also works as an English teacher, since the ‘90s, at the same high school and in the same classroom, G 229, which is the title of his biographical novel, a book dedicated to this profession. It’s an optimistic and convivial perspective on today’s school. This article explains the reason why this teacher loves his job and the way he manifests this pleasure of working with teenagers. It then makes a psycho-pedagogical characterization of Jean-Philippe Blondel. It also analyses, in an anthropological and in a poetical approach, the space of the G 229 as a literary representation, to see its symbolics in the context of our discussion.
