Abstract
Beyond what is inescapably repeated génération after generation, how the "gesture" that permits to be oneself and create its own existence is passed on? This implicit matter is to be found in different clinical situations in which this matter is in deadlock, witnessing the current crisis. From that questionning, we show how the gesture's transmission is in an internal opposition with the law of the repetition and we clarify some conditions for such a transmission, mainly the taking togheter in a gesture. The logic of this gesture's transmission can be topologically represented by a cut of a M'bius band; it appears also in the founder texts of our culture, such as the staging of the transmission of the gift of prophecy between the prophet and his disciple. Remains such a transmission possible in our society? We maintain that it is essential to make up new forms of this transmission.
