ABSTRACT

In the preceding chapters, we examined two periods in Georgios’ life: his childhood and his adolescence and adulthood. In the first, we saw his starting point, the equation of “child” to a dead girl’s body in the family history, a body that fell under the shadow of Mother’s desire or jouissance. In the second, we examined the invention that raised that body on a narcissistic pedestal, a stepladder related to the signifier “child” that was renamed “Vizyenos”.
