Children, Animals, and Stories: Accessing the Infantile
de la Genardière, Claude
Children, Animals, and Stories: Accessing the Infantile - 2007.
87
From the perspective of the unconscious, examination of children’s relations with animals requires taking transmission into account. The infantile world passes from one generation to the next with its animal fantasies and the traces of the affects experienced during contact with animals. Fantasmatic and mythical material is thus full of animal metaphors that resonate with adults and children alike. In addition, from the wolf to the slug, everyone can find a vast range of preoccupations and founding questions about the limits of humanity and its civilizing capacity to share between generations.
