Event Measuring of Childhood

Abstract

As the subject matter the paper considers a psychoanalytic concept of the subject as that which life is not some natural self-reality but formation and self-creation, incompleteness appears. An opportunity of articulation, speech as own, full speech is becoming a criterion of the construction of subjectivity. To be the author of own life, a person must find, build own story. This opportunity, in turn, is connected with the fact of "the event" as actualization of sensual-corporal and reflexive, meaning, injuring thing. An idea of the defining impact of childhood on the whole subsequent life of the subject makes it the subject of special interest, clarification of a character of this influence. The actual validity of childhood which everyone has and nobody can pass owing to age milestones change makes childhood something clear and obvious. Psychoanalytic conceptualization of the subject has found the key complexity and heterochrony of remembrances and the vital fact. An individual is always connected by his childhood not because this dictate is predetermined by its chronological precedence (from the point of view of classical determinism) to the other stages, and in view of habitation of other spaces of the outside world and expansion of the inner world which movements are described by the special logic of deepening, rediscovering and determining the senses of childhood episodes in a new way or anew. Childhood as the event of personal story is understood as the value, sense made by the whole set of sincere experience, but not as autonomous, substantive, invariable, once stated state or event.
