Abstract

Our own body, both as a physical object (Körper) and as a focus experiencing sensations (Leib) is usually the axis of our self-identification. In this the mode of presentation of one's own body, in correlation of its accessibility "from the outside" and "from the inside", in which I receive my own body as one and the same, however, one cannot find an answer to the question about how can the bodily (corporal) identification be constituted, which does not have a uniaxial character as it is, e.g. in case of the painterly perception of trompe-l'oeil or during the film showing. Projection of one's own body, as is suggested by phenomenological studies of Edith Stein and Leopold Blaustein, may consist in suspending the direct relation to Körper when the basis of identification is merely Leib, which we experience in dislocation, in an unclear connection with the border of the field of imagined space. An important feature of this situation is that during projection of the spectator's body into the field of an image to suspension is submitted not only the feeling of the body as a physical datum, but also space which remains as its real surrounding. The problems touched upon here can be considered as prolegomena to the phenomenology of a spectator-in-aspectacle.
