Anno: 2025 - Fascicolo: 2 - Pagina iniziale: 703 - Pagina finale: 709

René Spitz explores the origins of communication and subjectivity in infancy, emphasizing the «no» gesture as a foundational act in the development of the self. Arising from early motor patterns such as the rooting reflex, negation gradually evolves into a symbolic function that enables separation, relational thinking, and identity formation. The second part deepens this understanding through psychoanalytic, clinical, and philosophical perspectives, including references to mystical concepts where absence and withdrawal serve as preconditions for creation and differentiation. Spitz’s work anticipates later theories on mentalization and the «work of the negative», framing early refusal not as opposition but as a crucial generative milestone.
