всеобщий "аутизм"

What Ogden is suggesting, however, is that all infants have a sort of ‘autistic experience’ of the world around them. That is, like the autistic, the infant has an exclusively sensorial experience of its surroundings – one structured not by the workings of love and hate, or envy and gratitude, but by those of shape and rhythm, pattern and periodicity, texture and temperature.

In other words, in the absence of a securely introjected containing object the infant develops substitute methods of holding itself together. According to Bick, these substitute methods can be understood as ‘second skin’ formations – formations ‘through which dependence on the [containing] object is replaced by a pseudo-independence, by the inappropriate use of certain mental functions, or perhaps innate talents, for the purpose of creating a substitute for this skin container function’ (1987: 115). In early infancy, second skin formations can include persistent skin scratching or rubbing; compulsive babbling; precocious talking; continual tapping, twitching and shaking; highly rigid and muscular body postures; and excessive attachments to particular tactile objects as well as to specific sights, smells and sounds. The second skin, then, can be seen as a sort of muscular or intellectual carapace – one that offers containment while it denies the need for an external object, and one that protects while it ‘conceals a fragile inner core and the faulty development of the internalized “primal skin” of the mother, with all its physical and psychical properties’ (Jackson and Nowers, 2002: 209–10).

skins today

...at the dawn of the post-millennium, the significance of the skin is anything but skin deep.

чувство близости ощупи

Живое тело, которое может жить и умирать, напротив, выходит из употребления. Оно принадлежит конкретному месту и времени, чувству близости ощупи (Nahsinne des Tastens) и внимающему чувствованию (hörenden Spürens).

Схема, которая ведет к образам человека, есть и остается трупом, омерт-велым телом, так как и с живым телом обращаются так, словно оно уже умерло.
