Abstract

VANASSI, Fernanda Brockmann  and  PEIXOTO JUNIOR, Carlos Augusto. The space in between: the intersubjective genesis of ego and corporeity in Anzieu's and Merleau-Ponty's works. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2018, vol.52, n.3, pp. 133-148. ISSN 0486-641X.

The purpose of this article is to understand the role our bodily experience plays in the constitution of subjectivity from the perspective of the concepts of skin-ego and body-subject. We intend to evoke the essential aspects of Anzieu's and Merleau-Ponty's theories about the body while we emphasize their similarities. Our study on body-subject and skin-ego has shown that corporeity, which is fundamental to our psychological, emotional, cognitive, and social development, presupposes another underlying factor: the experience of the other. We suggest as a conclusion that both Anzieu and Merleau-Ponty may explain psychogenesis from the perspective of intersubjectivity. As such, it is marked by our sensitive experience and it is shared in an interbody and interpersonal space, i.e., a common world from which subjectivities can emerge.

Keywords : body-subject; skin-ego; subjectivity; intersubjectivity; corporeity.
