Tenth International Conference on The Image

Abstract

Among the categories of thought, which according to Kant are concepts that develop a posteriori and not a priori, first the concept of time, then that of randomness and finally that of time. According to Spielrein, in human ontogenetic development the human being has not completed a complete knowledge of time. At first it is only a question of present time and immediate future, ignoring the past tense. This is because in the beginning it is that things are transitory and changing, which have a beginning and an end. During the development the past time is acquired, in fact, precisely through the knowledge and the discovery of temporality, of the transitory, of the end of all things. The formation of the concept of time takes place in a differentiated way: first the present-future and then the past. As for the past story formation also takes place through space. When we are the children to be hidden under a bed, behind a door or under a staircase, it is precedent to the idea of when all this happened, because time is advanced after the knowledge of space. This work came from the study of spatial images produced in childhood or in dreams. In ontogenetic development based on two detectable psychic states, it is found in our infancy and the other in unconscious dream activity. The relationship between time and space is the time in childhood and in the dream through a subliminal metaphorical language that involves all the possible spatiality.
