ABSTRACT
This chapter imagines a somatic state that, in the past, was associated with a rather unpleasant situation. The activation of this somatic state induces an unpleasant internal perception that makes the person try to produce strategies to get free of it, or, to remain with the original module, to reestablish a homeostasis. The unpleasure induced by the somatic state leads to a discharge. In the case of the infant, this discharge comes about through the specific action of the other. In the case of the adult, it can come from the person himself. Fantasy is precisely a setup that binds the person to the misrecognized object of the drive and can place any other object in series with this enigmatic object through a specific unconscious scenario. The object of the fantasy is peculiar to the person's history. Violence remains above and beyond the reasons invoked to justify it. It somehow traps us in a fantasy that is outside external reality.
