Signification of "I" and the "other"/"you"
Mar 8 2007, 11:01 PM EST
Does the realization of a child’s “I” in the mirror also correspond to a realization of an external environment that is not part of the “I” (i.e. the "you")? Since Benveniste’s “I” and “you” come into existence together (and there is no “I” without a “you”), I am wondering if a similar phenomenon occurs in the mirror stage itself. If so, does the “Ideal I” in the mirror act as a visual signifier of the self since the child does not have access to language at this point? And what would be the signifier of the other, or "you" then?
Do you find this valuable?
