The World of Human Beings

  • Luce Irigaray

摘要

What theoretician really wonders about our relational potential? So I would like to ask Coghill and Gesell (cf. in La Nature; in Nature) of what consist, according to them, the relational embryonic tissues. Is not the behavioural development that they observe and interpret due to a relational motivation? What physiological tissue permits and accompanies its evolution? What tissues and forms are generated by sexual chromosomes? In what are they factors of and driving force behind our development? What corresponds with desire at the physiological level? And have the theoreticians noted what comes from the bodily ‘I can’ when it combines with the ‘I can’ of another body? What results, in that case, for the potential of my organism? And how, in a sexuate desire, are extension and expansion connected with particularity? Is it not the desire for an other as different which, then, produces both unfolding and individuation? Is it not such a desire which compels me to transcend myself while revealing to me the immanence of my potential, of my ‘me’? Is it not my sexuate belonging which unifies me while opening me up to the outside? Is it not this belonging which awakens me from a sort of lethargy in a quasi-organic symmetry or from a paralysis due to a mirror image by forcing me to evolve because the asymmetry of a face-to-face with an other which differs from me by nature—an other which differs not only by sex, but also by subjectivity and the world? These strangeness and asymmetry with respect to my global being could make me sink into the deepest distress without the mediation of touch.
