ABSTRACT
Partiendo de la distinción entre Primma y Summa, este trabajo conjuga los dos sentidos de lo arcaico: el de lo primero y el de lo primordial. Desde esta perspectiva, el autor propone deducir lo arcaico a posteriori, como la única manera de referirnos a él. Desde la base de que lo arcaico ilustra el estado de confusión que reina entre pulsión, objeto y yo, se postula que lo arcaico nunca es enteramente uniforme y que, en el estado normal, es legítimo buscar lo arcaico del lado del superyó: encarnado al cuerpo por el ello e injertado en lo más carnal que se contiene en la relación del hijo con las imagos parentales. En función de estas consideraciones, este trabajo muestra la fundación de la relación arcaica propia de las relaciones superyó-ideal en la ¿vialidad primaria que se expresa en la alternancia obediencia-orgullo entre el yo y el objeto, y en la confusión entre poder y potencia propia de los casos fronterizos. El autor concluye sosteniendo que ligar lo arcaico en el superyó y el ideal del yo es el mejor medio para no quedar preso entre el martillo de la obediencia y el yunque del orgullo (AU)
Drawing upon the distinction between Prima and Summa, this work conjugates the two meanings of the archaic: "the first"and "the most important". With this in mind, the author proposes that we may only apprehend the archaic a posteriori, retrospectively. Starting from the premise that the archaic illustrates the state of confusion that reigns between drive (instinct), object and ego, the author postulates that the archaic is never entirely uniform and that, in normal state, it is legitimate to look for the archaic on the side of the superego: taking on bodily form through the id and grafted onto that which is most carnal contained within the relationship of the child with the parental images. On the basis of these considerations, this work reveals the formation of the archaic relations-hip found in the relations between superego and ego ideal in "primary anality", expressed in the alternation of obedience/ pride between the ego and the object, and in the confusion between power and potency typical of borderline cases. The author concludes by arguing that binding the archaic within the superego and the ego ideal is the best way not to get Caught between the hammer of obedience and the anvil of pride (AU)

An autoerotic fatality due to mechanical compression of the neck by a sophisticated construction used for breath control games is reported. The presence of signs of methemoglobinemia as well as an empty "poppers" flask found beside the passed indicated the use of volatile nitrites to enhance sexual pleasure. It was assumed that vasodilatation had caused a sudden unconsciousness with consecutive hanging.
