JOSGRILBER, Rui de Souza. Notes for a phenomenology of infans: el feto y el primer año de vidab. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.3, pp. 294-296. ISSN 1809-6867.

The text aims to delineate some questions and principles for a phenomenology of the infans as a pre-speaker child, a phase that includes the intrauterine life of the fetus and the newborn in the first year of life before speech acquisition. The body is seen as the source of living materiality of meaning on several levels and where the relation of meaning to the world is unfolded. The appropriation of meaning begins remotely in the first integrative synthesis that characterizes the passage from the embryo to the fetal life through the formation of the central nervous system and the bodily senses. The origin and the formation of the world horizon of meanings has it locus before birth; works of biosciences and phenomenology are put together in dialogue.

Keywords : infans; fetus; first year of life; relations of sense and appropriation; constitution of the world.
