Ai lu Spinal Catastrophism de Thomas Moynihan. Lecture de recherche devenue objet de semi fascination, grange, ou plutôt hôpital à idées-concept. La colonne vertébrale cette grand inconnue, l'axe du cerveau vers le bassin, de la projection vers le ciel à l'enfouissement, l'inconscient et la catastrophe géologique, animale, darwinienne... ah lis le. ou pas. Hé je te laisse le résumé sur le site, parce que dans ce genre de cas, ou tu le lis comme tu lirais du Balard, ou tu as un diplôme. If human morphology, upright posture, and the possibility of language are the ramified accidents of natural history, then psychic ailments are ultimately afflictions of the spine, which itself is a scale model of biogenetic trauma, a portable map of the catastrophic events that shaped that atrocity exhibition of evolutionary traumata, the sick orthograde talking mammal. Tracing its provenance through the biological notions of phylogeny and ‘organic memory’ that fuelled early psychoanalysis, back into idealism, naturephilosophy, and romanticism, and across multiform encounters between philosophy, psychology, biology, and geology, Thomas Moynihan reveals the historical continuity of Spinal Catastrophism, and analyzes its principal sources: the geological discovery of depth as memory, and the notion of recapitulation born of the collision of absolute idealism with natural history.
