ABSTRACT
Chapter 2 examines the vicissitudes of the primary destructive impulse after birth, depending on a double return to the primitive father/void. The first return takes the form of a pouring out of blood representing a human sacrifice of the mother when she, physically, takes over the dissemination of the father/void rejecting generation after birth and tries to satisfy his recursive function so as to reconstitute him; the second concerns the subject who, protected from this cruelty, experiences the ties of identity that links him to the father of individual prehistory. This identification is a realization that proceeds from a creation of which the subject is both the agent and the object. Cruelty signifies that murder and incest without traces are at the basis of the prohibition of murder and of incest.
