PREGENITALITY AND PRIMAL SCENE - THE FANTASMATIC FATE OF THE DIGESTIVE-TRACT

Having frequently observed in the current language of psychoanalysis a tendancy to reify the concepts of the theory of the phases of libidinal development, the author criticizes this position and proposes a personal model for the constitution of the unconscious representation, in the child, of the early investment of the whole of the digestive tract and smooth muscle structure. She points out the main implications of this model, on the one hand with regard to the constitution of a somato-psychic spatio-temporality where the thought processes will take root, and on the other, regarding the defensive use of the digestive representations of the original fantasy of the primal scene against the inacceptability of parental genitality that answers for the double difference of the sexes and the generations.
