La primauté de la constitution de l’objet transitionnel chez Marc Richir

Abstract

The Primacy of Constitution of the Transitional Object in Marc Richir Among the psychoanalysts, it was primarily Donald Winnicott who helped Marc Richir to clarify and develop genetic phenomenology, which had already been outlined by Edmund Husserl. The paper attempts to demonstrate the use Richir makes of Winnicott’s works for his own research devoted to the elaboration of Husserl’s project. According to Richir’s reading, Winnicott insisted on the “primacy of constitution of the transitional object” for the access to the real. By referring to Winnicott’s own words, we seek to show in what sense he privileges the constitutional role of the transitional object, and how Richir adopts and reinterprets his teachings. We explicate that the transitional object reveals its complexity through the function that at once enables and disturbs the process of “hominization.”
