Violence in the Roots
Violence is almost always associated with danger. When we contextualize violence and danger together, the psychic response to them will be anxiety. Piera Aulagnier defines the violence which the preverbal child’s (infant) psychic world encounters as primary violence. The newborn is faced with two kinds of violence. One comes from outside, the other from inside. Thus there is an exceeding amount of violence in the origins of human life. No matter where this violence comes from, internal or external, anxiety has always been at the root of it or as an outcome, and the only way to keep away from it has been through repression or in other words by putting it away in the unconcious. However unconcious is a part of the psyche and there is always the return of the repressed. S.Freud’s concept unheimlich defines the return of the repressed. The one which is very familiar and known, but repressed because it is unwanted, has returned. The ones which are the most uncanny are the closest and the most familiar, and it is usually them that the violence heads for.
