Beschreibung:Formation, even when it can be retrospectively identified as an effect of activity, cannot be reduced to that activity itself. Its most originary condition of possibility is rooted in the passivity that both precedes and sustains it. Formation is neither a finished product nor a completed state. What can be discerned of it are traces, vestiges, sedimentations, and configurations that bear witness to an ongoing process of constitution, always unfinished, always unfolding, always becoming an I can. Within this framework, the present article adopts a propaedeutic approach and aims to engage with Husserl’s analyses of passivity (I) and of the phenomenological unconscious (II), in order to examine the relevance of these notions for a theory of formation that acknowledges operations lying outside the egoic sphere (III). In other words, it investigates how the concepts invoked in the title, approached from a phenomenological standpoint, allow for a deeper understanding of formation by emphasizing that it does not depend exclusively on the individual’s conscious will.
