TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Mishima or the "fabrication" of a body JO - l'Information Psychiatrique A1 - Brémaud, N. SP - 323 EP - 327 VL - 84 IS - 4 N2 - The way of life and literary oeuvre of the great Japanese writer Yukio Mishima ( 1925-1970) throw particular light on the question of the "fabrication" of the body. From the initial flesh to the body he built by means of physical exercise, from writing as a way of using words to the body as a means of fighting against their "corrosive power", and finally to the scored, decapitated body of his suicide by seppuku, Mishima never ceased to be tormented by life, by the question of existence, death and the body. His magnificent essay entitled Sun and Steel gives us a dazzling view of how a psychotic subject can attempt, by means of genius but also by dint of considerable effort, to find some answers to this question of the fabricating of the body.
