Childhood Block

Memory yells "Father! Mother!" but the childhood block is elsewhere, in the highest intensities that the child constructs with his sisters, his pal, his projects and his toys, and all the nonparental figures through which he deterritorializes his parents every chance he gets. Ah, childhood sexuality - it's certainly not Freud who gives us the best sense of what that is. The child doesn't cease reterritorializing everything back onto his parents (the photo); he has need of lowered intensities. But in his activity, as in his passions, he is simultaneously the most deterritorialized and the most deterritorializing figure - the Orphan. He also forms a block of deterritorialization that shifts with time, the straight line of time, coming to reanimate the adult as one animates the puppet and giving the adult living connections.
