ABSTRACT
This chapter explores how the subject's exterior is psychically constructed. It conversely shows how the processes of social inscription of the body's surface construct a psychical interior, that is, looking at the outside of the body from the point of view of the inside, and looking at the inside of the body from the point of view of the outside. The chapter examines the distinction between biology and culture and also explores the way in which culture constructs the biological order in its own image. The chapter looks at two pervasive models of the interrelation of bodies and cities and outlines their problems. In the first model, the body and the city have a de facto or external relation. Second, also popular, view suggests a parallelism or isomorphism between the body and the city, or the body and the state. Unity of place without the unity of time makes the city disappear into the heterogeneity of advanced technology's temporal regime.
