ABSTRACT
This section delves into what a fantasy is made of by focusing on how a subject builds a perception of an image of body. It goes deeper into Freud’s concept of infantile sexuality and Lacan’s notion of jouissance by showing that the spatiality linked to signifiers and jouissance has no correspondence to or resemblance with usual Euclidean spaces. This section analyses the consequences of this upon narcissism while emphasizing the necessity and importance of constructing an unconscious image of a body. It also explores the effects of the deferred actions of language on the emergence of the speaking body. Sexuation is distinguished as referring to subjective positions of existence separated from conditions of object choice.
