Abstract
In this paper, I explore the vulnerabilities of being a teacher through Dostoevsky’s ‘Notes from Underground’. I argue that the Underground Man can serve as a ‘touchstone’ for thinking through complex tensions within the classroom, particularly in relation to the unpredictability in how one is ‘seen’ by others. By paying attention to the ‘polyphonic’ nature of Dostoevsky’s artistic style in the text, I suggest a way in which to account for this vulnerability, not as a means to suppress it but rather as a way to appreciate it as an inescapable component of any and all human endeavours.
