Este artículo muestra los efectos de la época y la cultura actual sobre la relación con el cuerpo, considerado como una unidad de valor en el mercado. Desde el psicoanálisis, en un recorrido por la noción de cuerpo tanto en Freud como en Lacan, se presenta una noción de cuerpo distinta a la de la medicina, diferenciando cuerpo y organismo, estableciendo que no hay El cuerpo, sino tantos cuerpos como sujetos, siendo el cuerpo concebido como una construcción a partir de la palabra y de la imagen, dando lugar al síntoma (Freud) como metáfora alojada en el cuerpo y como sinthome (Lacan) en tanto acontecimiento del cuerpo que empalma al sujeto con su modalidad de gozar, al hablante ser en su singular modalidad de satisfacción pulsional. This paper shows the effects of the times and the current culture on the relationship with the body, considered as a unit of value in the market. From the psychoanalysis point of view, on a tour of the notion of the body, with Freud, and Lacan both, the notion of body is different from the body presented by the medicine, distinguishing between body and organism. Stating that there is not A body, but many bodies as subjects, being the body, conceived as a construction from the word and the image, resulting in the symptom (Freud) and housed in the body as a metaphor and as a sinthome (Lacan) in all events of the body, that matches the subject with its way jouissance to the parletre in its singular modality of pulsional satisfaction.

Se trata de marcas que, a diferencia del síntoma, se manifiestan como otras formas de respuesta a la angustia, fenómenos que se resisten al decir, acontecimientos de cuerpo que implican un goce autístico, signos sobre el cuerpo opacos al sentido, marcas de lalengua.Palabras claves: cuerpo, acontecimiento, goce, sinthome. AbstractThis paper is a result of the doctoral thesis Vicissitudes Going through the Body and Their Relation to the Epoch. A Psychoanalytic Perspective. It used a qualitative methodology in the context of a descriptive-interpretative study. It explores the different vicissitudes currently going through the body, such as tattoos, scarifications, piercings, self-harms, and psychosomatic phenomena. They are marks that, contrary to the symptom, manifest as other forms of response to anxiety, phenomena resisting the saying, body events entailing an autistic jouissance, signs on the body that are blurred to the sense, marks of lalangue.Keywords: body, event, jouissance, sinthome. RésuméCet article est issu d'une thèse de doctorat intitulée Avatars qui traversent le corps et leur rapport avec l'époque.

C'était l'outil utilisé pour enquêter sur les différents avatars qui traversent le corps aujourd'hui, tels que les tatouages, scarifications, piercings, blessures auto-infligées et phénomènes psychosomatiques. Il s'agit de marques qui, contrairement au sinthome, se manifestent en tant que d'autres formes de réponse à l'angoisse, des phénomènes qui résistent au dire, des événements du corps qui comportent une jouissance autistique, des signes sur le corps opaques pour le sens, des marques de lalangue.Mots-clés : corps, événement, jouissance, sinthome.

Subjective Aspect

Resumen: El presente artículo indaga sobre el aspecto subjetivo implicado en las violencias contra las mujeres en el marco de la cultura patriarcal. Para ello, se ofrecen ideas psicoanalíticas que vinculan la identidad masculina hegemónica con la violencia. Luego, a partir del pensamiento de Judith Butler, se analiza el mandato normativo de la heterosexualidad obligatoria y su impacto en la violencia contra las mujeres. En esta línea, se presenta el modo en que Judith Butler entiende la constitución del sujeto y su relación con el cuerpo. Se destaca el modo en que, a partir de la lógica fálica que entreteje el orden simbólico patriarcal imperante, los cuerpos de las mujeres se codifican convenientemente como dañados o castrados. Finalmente, se reflexiona acerca del modo en que el patriarcado asegura que existan violencias contra las mujeres, pues ofrece cuerpos cuya codificación simbólica legitima las múltiples violencias posteriores. En última instancia, el presente artículo ofrece una posible explicación del modo en que la organización del patriarcado hunde sus raíces en las subjetividades. Tales lineamientos conceptuales no intentan agotar el tema, más bien exponen una perspectiva que se ofrece para una articulación posible con otros abordajes en la búsqueda de una comprensión en su mayor complejidad posible.Palabras clave: masculinidad, violencia, cuerpo, identidad, sexualidad.Heteronormativity and Hegemonic Masculinity.A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Violence against WomenAbstract: This article explores the subjective aspect involved in violence against women in the context of patriarchal culture. In order to accomplish that, we offer some psychoanalytic ideas that link hegemonic masculine identity with violence. Then, based on the thought of Judith Butler, the regulatory mandate of compulsory heterosexuality and its impact on violence against women is analyzed. Butler’s understanding of the constitution of the subject and its relationship with the body is presented. We emphasize how, from the phallic logic that weaves the prevailing patriarchal symbolic order, women’s bodies are conveniently encoded as damaged or neutered. Finally, we reflect on how patriarchy guarantees there will be violence against women, offering bodies whose symbolic encoding legitimates subsequent violence. Ultimately, this article offers a possible explanation of how the patriarchal organization is rooted in patriarchal subjectivities. Such conceptual guidelines are not intended to exhaust the subject, but rather to expose a perspective that provides for possible linkages with other approaches in the search for an understanding in all its complexity.Keywords: masculinity, violence, body, identity, sexuality.

The Many

Abstract Comprehensive accounts of resource-rational attempts to maximise utility shouldn't ignore the demands of constructing utility representations. This can be onerous when, as in humans, there are many rewarding modalities. Another thing best not ignored is the processing demands of making functional activity out of the many degrees of freedom of a body. The target article is almost silent on both.

The simplicity of the developing nervous system of oligochaetes makes of it an excellent model for the study of the relationships between glia and neurons. In the present communication we describe the relationships between glia and neurons in the early periods of post-embryonic development in some species of oligochaetes.Tubifex tubifex (Mull. ) and Octolasium complanatum (Dugès) specimens starting from 0. 3 mm of body length were collected from laboratory cultures divided into three groups each group fixed separately by one of the following methods: (a) 4% glutaraldehyde and 1% acrolein fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, (b) TAPO technique, (c) ruthenium red method.Our observations concern the early period of the postembryonic development of the nervous system in oligochaetes. During this period neurons occupy fixed positions in the body the only observable change being the increase in volume of their perikaryons. Perikaryons of glial cells were located at some distance from neurons. Long cytoplasmic processes of glial cells tended to approach the neurons. The superimposed contours of glial cell processes designed from electron micrographs, taken at the same magnification, typical for five successive growth stages of the nervous system of Octolasium complanatum are shown in Fig. 1. Neuron is designed symbolically to facilitate the understanding of the kinetics of the growth process.

Flagellar Axoneme

Movement in epimastigote and trypomastigote stages of trypanosomes is accomplished by planar sinusoidal beating of the anteriorly directed flagellum and associated undulating membrane. The flagellum emerges from a bottle-shaped depression, the flagellar pocket, opening on the lateral surface of the cell. The limiting cell membrane envelopes not only the body of the trypanosome but is continuous with and insheathes the flagellar axoneme forming the undulating membrane. In some species a paraxial rod parallels the axoneme from its point of emergence at the flagellar pocket and is an integral component of the undulating membrane. A portion of the flagellum may extend beyond the anterior apex of the cell as a free flagellum; the length is variable in different species of trypanosomes.

Otoconia are microscopic geometric structures that cover the sensory epithelia of the utricle and saccule (gravitational receptors) of mammals, and the lagena macula of birds. The importance of otoconia for maintanance of the body balance is evidenced by the abnormal behavior of species with genetic defects of otolith. Although a few reports have dealt with otoconia formation, some basic questions remain unanswered. The chick embryo is desirable for studying otoconial formation because its inner ear structures are easily accessible, and its gestational period is short (21 days of incubation).The results described here are part of an intensive study intended to examine the morphogenesis of the otoconia in the chick embryo (Gallus- domesticus) inner ear. We used chick embryos from the 4th day of incubation until hatching, and examined the specimens with light (LM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The embryos were decapitated, and fixed by immersion with 3% cold glutaraldehyde. The ears and their parts were dissected out under the microscope; no decalcification was used. For LM, the ears were embedded in JB-4 plastic, cut serially at 5 micra and stained with 0.2% toluidine blue and 0.1% basic fuchsin in 25% alcohol.

Face Centered

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.
