Fifty years after the publication of crap seed. Advice for educators who want to cultivate it, which became a kind of red book that gave it renowned in the educational field, Deligny takes up, with a pinch of irony, the literature of advice, with the transformations of its point of view that They gave their retirement in the rural area of ​​the cevenas and their twenty years of work together with autistic children.
The "social worker" to which these letters are directed is the one who, without working with autistic, lidy day-to-day with the border between the humanity product of culture and human of nature that arises and resurises. They are not intellectuals, are the gardeners, psychologists, teachers, assistants, guardians, educators, sociologists, psychiatrists, and thousands thousands who are on the first line, witnesses first-hand than that can be that "human" that persists, Although expelled and sunk under the order of the symbolic and the education memory.
As Pierre Macherey points out in Postface, Deligny never part from conceptual disputes, but always from everyday facts that have marked his life, to those who converts into "legends", like that of flying booties in the psychiatric, The girl-queen who descends the waste hill of the municipal dottery, that of the improvised band that, to the escape, ends up camping on the Vercors, or that of the six energals who plan to steal an old man.
The bet of Deligny is that exceptional experience with autistic children can provide tools for any social worker, whatever the function attributed by institutions, escapes the conviction of being a recovery of social waste, to convert their work into an investigation on "that lost link between the Hief and the Animality" that traces lines and plot nets even in the worst conditions, which is tissue by primordial infinitives such as acting, warning, tracing, and the main infinitive group trainer, which crosses everything The book: Asyard.
