Body. Imaginary. Lalangue. Enjoyment (jouissance).Abstract
The imaginary body is not an appanage of the human body because as res extensia it can be measured and weighed as any object of the phenomenal world: body, chair, table, pencil. Similarly, one can describe its characteristics and attributes as the ones in any other object. Therefore, the human body is another object of the phenomenal world. The symbolic body is not necessarily the living body because the corpse also has these characteristics. The body is stuck to the chain of language and is mortified by the signifier as it is taken to the symbolic register. The signifier maps the body and it writes in it both the history and the hysterical anatomy of each one. We might as well call it a hystoerical body. However, this body can be dead or alive, quiet in the silence of the death drive or vibrating with Eros. In order to be alive it also needs to be a body that enjoys itself. Thus, the body belongs to the three registers: the imaginary space, the symbolic language and the enjoyment a real body can have.
