ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter, I detailed what the concept of body is in psychoanalysis and explained that to become a body, we use psychic mechanisms where forms of abjection are produced. I began by revisiting the psychic mechanisms by which a body forms itself as a cultural and political archive. The body is fractured and constantly open to something other than the narcissistic image it holds of itself. It is never complete, and this is what allows the unconscious to speak through us. The body is constantly faced with images from the unconscious in order to keep on representing them.
