Szenische Verfasstheit der Subjektivität, Medienökologie der Psyche

When it comes to the mediality of the psyche, two psychoanalytic insights are of crucial relevance. The first addresses the scenic constitution of subjectivity. The self / ego emerges out of scenic constellations. It is characteristic for the scenic that there is no stable perspective and differentiations like subject, object, and act are not yet fixed. The scenic proceeds through all phases of life: it is the fundamental dimension of the subject's involvement in its own becoming. It is from here that the second insight arises: The psyche has to be understood essentially as something ecological and poietic that acts as assemblage. It is extended temporally and always includes inner as well as outer elements, infrastructures as well as objects. Subjectivity is only one of its phenomena.
