Scarred Bodies, Marked Adolescence
Dargent, Fanny
Scarred Bodies, Marked Adolescence - 2010.
68
Based on clinical work in a hospital, the author tries to show the polymorphous character of the practice of scarification. It cannot be reduced to a pure discharge, and is situated at the crossroads of different models which have attempted to pinpoint the articulation of the psyche-soma at stake in the morbid cathexis of the body-proper. If force and meaning are engaged, it is the effort to maintain the pre-existing defensive system which seems to constitute the response.
