ABSTRACT
When Sartre describes the corporeal relation between subjects, he situates it in a conception of consciousness which negates the first carnal and sexuate relationship with the other. In fact, intention exists both on the part of the mother towards the girl or boy, and on the part of the child towards the mother. Thus, the affectionate gaze of the mother towards the body of her son and of her daughter, as well as their attention towards the mother, is forgotten in Sartre's thought. As Sartre imagines it, the relation with the body of the other entails a double annulment of subjectivity, such as that of the feminine: both as daughter of a mother, and as a woman destined to the other gender, with a respect for the differences between them. Belonging to a gender must intervene in the in-itself-for-itself, in our body-consciousness.
