Author's dedication.
The destructive logic that governs human seeing has never been studied by psychoanalysis, though it is the first to be concerned. On the other hand, legends and pathology proclaim it unequivocally: with, on the one hand, the belief in the evil eye, the myth of the Asilic "who kills by looking"; and on the other hand, phobias, anxiety about looking, innumerable vision disorders, etc. This misunderstanding stems from the fact that Freud found himself inhibited in his elaboration on this subject: G. Bonnet analyses the reasons and the misdeeds of this blockage by taking up his analyses of narcissism, hysteria and perversions. He then demonstrates the effects of this implacable seeing in the treatment, in the literary work: that of Bataille, and in an astonishing affection: the provoked anaemia or "syndrome of Lasthénie de ferjol", of which he brings here the first exhaustive psychoanalytical study. This book is topical, for our era is dominated by an unprecedented urge to see: the problem is not so much that too much violence is shown, but that seeing without limits is fundamentally violence and constantly resurfaces destruction to revel in it and to justify itself.
