Summary:A comment on Francois Martin-Vallas' article, "Towards a theory of the integration of the Other in representation," points out the paradoxical nature of the connection Martin-Vallas makes between a baby's activity & the Freudian concept of "hallucinatory wish fulfillment," which requires a modification of the concept of perversion. Other issues discussed include the link between representation & energy in relation to the baby's experience of the impersonal "other" & how dissatisfaction creates the conditions for deintegration of an earlier state of homeostasis, resulting in a possible representation of the external world. Adapted from the source document.
