In this essay, Thomas More’s enduringly enigmatic Utopia (1516) is read alongside D.A.F. de Sade’s “Frenchmen, Some More Effort if You Wish to Become Republicans” (1795), based on four distinct convergences between the two texts. In retracing and unpacking these synergies, it is demonstrated that reading More with Sade may generate a fresh perspective on what, in utopian studies, is designated as the “education of desire,” as it impacts upon the vexed relationship between happiness and hedonism. It is argued, through a combined reading of More and Sade, that the texts celebrate satire as the most advanced technique for destabilizing doctrinal knowledge but also, and more importantly, that they may function as lasting reminders of the fictional status of autonomous selfhood and the intrinsic impossibility of full satisfaction—happiness being no more than an unpredictable momentary occurrence that is predicated upon the ineluctable dissatisfaction of desire and the empty promises of a limitless hedonism. The hope of these texts, which should also be the hope of all educational discourses in the twenty-first century, is that they do not contribute in any way to the promotion of a new disciplinary practice, through which desire would be modeled, shaped, and tamed, but rather to an emancipatory form of instruction, in which the “education of desire” is geared toward the creation of an endless “desire for education,” supported by the faculty of critical analysis, whose distinguished flag features a really good nose, insofar as the latter epitomized the quintessential seat of satire during the Renaissance period.

如何长鼻子：莫尔的乌托邦和萨德的自由共和国中的欲望教育

在这篇文章中，托马斯·莫尔 (Thomas More) 经久不衰的神秘乌托邦 (Utopia)（1516 年）与 DAF de Sade 的“法国人，如果你想成为共和党人，请多做些努力”（1795 年）一起阅读，基于两个文本之间的四个不同的融合。在追溯和解开这些协同作用时，证明阅读更多与萨德可能会对乌托邦研究中被称为“欲望教育”的事物产生新的看法，因为它影响了幸福与享乐主义之间令人烦恼的关系。有人认为，通过对莫尔和萨德的综合阅读，这些文本将讽刺作为破坏教义知识的最先进技术，但更重要的是，它们可以作为对自主自我的虚构状态和完全满足的内在不可能的持久提醒——幸福只不过是一种不可预测的瞬间发生，它以不可避免的欲望不满和无限享乐主义的空洞承诺为基础。这些文本的希望，也应该是 21 世纪所有教育话语的希望，是它们不会以任何方式促进一种新的学科实践，通过这种实践，欲望将被建模、塑造、和驯服，而是一种解放的教学形式，其中“欲望教育”旨在创造无尽的“教育欲望”，并得到批判性分析学院的支持，其杰出的旗帜具有非常好的鼻子,
