PEQUIGNOT, Catherine Desprats. Material body and fruition: the dream of a new body. Rev. Mal-Estar Subj. [online]. 2008, vol.8, n.4, pp. 869-882. ISSN 1518-6148.

The succes and the world wide spreading of a modern body fantasm: idea of reinventing body and its "nature", of creating a new body that would be pulled out of its human condition, and every attemps to perform that idea, that dream, can only bring questions. From the "cyborg" version to the "avatar" version of that dream of a new body, we will be conducted to ask if this new body, sometimes told to be the future, isn't also, in the first place, regret and desire of a lost "childhood body", of a body that, so says Freud, "leave indelible traces on the child's psychic life": the "early times" mother's imaginary body, the childish body of the "phallic mother".

Palavras-chave : body; new technics; contemporary art; cyborg; avatar.
