ABSTRACT
The beginning of History cannot reveal itself in primordial bones or in the unearthing of primitive artefacts. Rather, this beginning is revealed in the interpretation of a mythology in which man imposes himself as the master of nature, after having been its slave. His gesture of dominion and the instruments which serve this domination: tools, language, intellect, the passions themselves, create, little by little, another world which dominates him and which exiles him from himself, even if he may feel closer to it because it is made by him. The feminine is not called to carry out the task of constructing a world which is similar to man's: a violent, uncanny world, which exists through the domination of nature, of animals, of other humans. Man could have envisioned it as his task to contemplate the intimate harmony of the world's motion, admitting that its origin remains unknown to him.
