Lacan
is tedious reading, indeed:
Surely, there is a fairy tale equivalent available?
"What I
have called the mirror stage is interesting in that it manifests the
affective dynamism by which the subject originally identifies himself with the
visual Gestalt of his own body: in relation to the still very profound
lack of co-ordination of his own motility, it represents an ideal unity, a salutary
imagos; it is invested with all the original distress resulting from
the child's intra-organic and relational discordance during the first six months,
when he bears the signs, neurological and humoral, of a physiological natal
prematuration." (pg. 19)
