Example text
2 The state of encounter and the concept of violence Psyche and world meet and are born with one another and by one another; and they are the result of a state of encounter that is coextensive with the state of living being. The inevitable violence that theoretical discourse imposes on the psyche as object of its scrutiny stems from the need to dissociate the effects of this encounter, which it can analyse only successively and at best in a backwards-and-forwards 8 The activity of representation movement between the spaces from which they emerge.
To live is to experience in a continuous way what results from the situation of encounter: by this I mean that the psyche is plunged from the outset into a space that is heterogeneous to it, whose effects it undergoes in just as continuous and immediate a way. It may even be argued that it is by the representation of these effects that the psyche is able to forge an initial representation of itself and that this is the primal fact that sets psychical activity in motion. The analysis of what I mean by state of encounter will enable me to explain the meaning given to the two concepts present in my title: violence and interpretation.
I now have to show what may be expected from the approach chosen and what contribution may be made by the theoretical approach and its application in the clinical field. I shall devote this first chapter to general considerations concerning psychical activity in order to show the factors that, in every system, despite the specificity of their mode of operation, obey laws that are common to psychical functioning as a whole. By the activity of representation, I mean the psychical equivalent of the work of metabolisation proper to organic activity.
