fragmented body ({{Top}}[[Frenchcorps]]:''corps morcelé'') The notion of the [[fragmented body]] is one of the earliest original concepts to appear in [[Lacan]]'s work, and is closely linked to the concept of the [[mirror stage]]. {{Bottom}}

In the ==Jacques Lacan==The [[mirror stagenotion]] of the [[infantfragmented body]] sees its is one of the earliest original [[reflectionconcepts]] to appear in the [[mirrorLacan]] as a 's [[whole]]/[[synthesisWorks of Jacques Lacan|work]], and this [[perception]] causes, by contrast, is closely linked to the [[perceptionconcept]] of its own [[body]] (which [[lack]]s [[motor coordination]] at this the [[mirror stage]]) as [[division|divided]] and [[fragmentation|fragmented]].

The ==Mirror Stage==In the [[mirror stage]] the [[infant]] sees its [[reflection]] in the [[mirror]] as a [[whole]]/[[anxietysynthesis]] provoked by , and this feeling of [[fragmentationperception]] fuels causes, by contrast, the [[identificationperception]] with the of its own [[specular imagebody]] by (which the [[egolack]]s [[motor coordination]] at this [[stage]]) as [[division|divided]] is and [[formationfragmentation|formedfragmented]].

However, ==Ego Formation==The [[anxiety]] provoked by this [[feeling]] of [[fragmentation]] fuels the anticipation of a [[synthesis|syntheticidentification]] with the [[egospecular image]] is henceforth constantly threatened by which the [[memoryego]] of this sense of is [[fragmentationformation|formed]], which manifests itself in "images of castration, emasculation, mutilation, dismemberment, dislocation, evisceration, devouring, bursting open of the body" which haunt the human imagination.<ref>{{E}} p.11</ref>

These ==Fragmentation==However, the [[imageanticipation]]s typically appear in of a synthetic [[ego]] is henceforth constantly threatened by the [[analysandmemory]]'s of this [[dreamsense]]s and associations at a particular phase in the of [[treatmentfragmentation]] - namely, the moment when the which manifests itself in "[[analysandimages]]'s of castration, emasculation, mutilation, dismemberment, dislocation, evisceration, devouring, bursting open of the body" which haunt the [[aggressivityhuman]] emerges in the negative [[transferenceimagination]]. <ref>{{E}} p. 11</ref>

This moment is an important early sign that ==Transference==These [[image]]s typically appear in the [[treatmentanalysand]]'s [[dream]]s and [[free association|association]]s at a [[particular]] [[phase]] is progressing in the right direction[[treatment]] - namely, i.e. towards the disintegration of [[moment]] when the rigid unity of [[analysand]]'s [[aggressivity]] emerges in the [[egonegative]] [[transference]].<ref>Lacan, 1951b: 13</ref>

In a more general senseThis moment is an important early [[sign]] that the [[treatment]] is progressing in the [[right]] direction, i.e. towards the disintegration of the rigid [[fragmented bodyunity]] refers not only to of the [[imageego]]s .<ref>{{L}} "[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Some Reflections on the physical Ego]]", ''Int. J. [[bodyPsycho]] but also to any sense of -[[fragmentationAnal]] and disunity.'', vol. 34, 1953 [1951b]: 13</ref>

<blockquote>"He ==Illusion of Synthesis==In a more general sense, the [[the subjectfragmented body]] refers not only to [[image]] is originally an inchoate collection s of desires - there you have the true [[physical]] [[body]] but also to any sense of the expression fragmented body."<ref>S3, 39</ref></blockquote>[[fragmentation]] and disunity:

Any such sense of disunity threatens <blockquote>"He [the [[illusionsubject]]] is originally an inchoate collection of desires - there you have the [[synthesistrue]] which constitutes sense of the [[ego]]expression fragmented body."<ref>{{S3}} p.39</ref></blockquote>

Any such sense of dis[[Lacanunity]] also uses the idea of threatens the [[fragmented bodyillusion]] to explain certain typical of [[symptomsynthesis]]s of which constitutes the [[hysteriaego]].

When a ==Hysteria==[[hysteria|hystericalLacan]] also uses the term [[fragmented body]] to explain certain typical [[paralysissymptom]] affects a limb, it does not respect the physiological structure s of the nervous system, but instead reflects the way the [[bodyhysteria]] is divided up by an 'imaginary anatomy'.

When a [[hysteria|hysterical]] [[paralysis]] affects a limb, it does not respect the [[physiological]] [[structure]] of the nervous [[system]], but instead reflects the way the [[body]] is [[divided]] up by an "imaginary anatomy".  In this way, the [[fragmented body]] is "revealed at the [[organic ]] level, in the lines of fragilization that define the anatomy of [[phantasy]], as exhibited in the schizoid and spasmodic [[symptoms ]] of hysteria."<ref>{{E, }} p. 5</ref>
