Suspend(ed) to hooks: The envelope of suffering as a substitute envelope among body suspension practitioners
Type de matériel :
85
Body suspension is an extreme practice which consists in hanging the body by hooks pierced through the flesh. For Alice and Claire, the extreme pain and the staging of a holding are invested as substitute envelopes that make up for the failure of the psychic envelopes. Body suspension can be seen as an attempt to represent trauma experiences awaiting recognition and translation and a way to repair a failed holding.
