Social Sciences - Psychology / Mother/Daughter Relationships (Psychoanalytic Point Of View)
French term or phrase: aura-t-elle sa peau a son propre compte
Book (written by a psychoanalyst) On The "Ravage" In Mother/Daughter Relationships

Context: Nous faisons l'hypothese que la chute marquee du caractere persecutif de l'image, quand il a lieu, inscrit le corps comme lieu ou aviendra une jouissance , non plus errante, mais 'sienne,' apres l'epreuve du ravage. Cette consistance du corps serait-elle la subsistance que la femme comme femme attend de sa mere ? Lorsque le ravage sera eprouve et effectue, les identifications secondaires, entre autres a la mere et au pere, pourront elles alors avoir lieu et chacune des deux femmes **aura-t-elle sa peau a son propre compte?**

Sorry about the missing diacritical marks.

  -> thanks, Cristina.
neutral  writeaway: where do you see it could be 'body' in this context?
2 hrs
  -> the textsays:"... inscrit le corps comme lieu ou adviendra une jouissance", for one. I believe that the image is used on purpose, maybe an oblique reference to the expression "se sentir bien dans sa peau". Thanks for your comment, though, it's an interest
