Abstract

This article deals with the nexus between writing and the constitution of the subject. More particularly between the literality of what is written and the subject's experience of itself. This article specifies the existent determinants between the experience of the psychotic being and the significant mark of something fantasized or dreamed and inscribed in the person as destiny. These relationships are theorized as constituting an inscription in the register of reality that builds up an exterior to the subject's interior. What was just mentioned was developed from an analysis of a text by Daniel Paul Schreber: Legacy of a Person S Nervous Illness, and it is related to another two books of literary character: Peter Handke's novel, The Moment of the Real Sensation, and Marjorie Wallace's journalistic repot: The Silent Twins, about twins accused of pyromania and theft who never spoke to anyone, but wrote every detail of what they experienced and thought.
