| description | Freudian “art of living” is applied here to study German children’s literature author Janosch. The purpose is mainly focused studying this writer from an analytic perspective in Civilisation and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud. It is selected a corpus of the Germanauthor, where previously is study the concepts of pleasure and displeasure in Freud work. Thus, it is suggested how Janosch works propose a different choice to overcome the discontents against the traditional libidinal economy. The analysis shows how the charactersbuild their own strategies, which allow to speak regarding the “art of living” as an intransitive desire; that jeopardizes traditional logic, a revaluation of the other from solidarity and aradical option for pleasure over culture. The results display a renewed and complex vision of an author of children’s literature. The creation by Janosch questions the values of thecontemporary society and appeals to the reader to review its hierarchies. |

Situamos la obra del escritor infantil alemán Janosch dentro de la corriente del “arte de vivir”. Este busca la plena realización del sujeto desde un planteamiento personal y crítico. El propósito central de este artículo será determinar la particularidad de Janosch abriendo un diálogo desde laproblematización de Freud en El malestar en la cultura. Para el análisis optamos por una revisión de un corpus escogido de Janosch. Previa síntesis de la problemática del placer y el displacer según Freud, se determinan cuáles son las principales salidas de Janosch al malestar y cómo se diferencia de una economía libidinal tradicional. El análisis muestra cómo los personajes construyen sus propias estrategias, lo que permite hablar de un “arte de vivir”. Estas son: un “deseo intransitivo” que pone en jaque la lógica tradicional, una revaloración del otro desde la solidaridad y una radical opción por el placer por sobre la cultura. Los resultados de la reflexión permiten una visión renovada y compleja de un autor de literatura infantil. El mundo creado por Janosch cuestiona desde una inusitada frescura los valores de nuestra sociedad contemporánea y apela al lector a una revisión de sus jerarquías.
