The tearing apart and internalization of the parent – initially the mother, eventually both parents – in Klein apparently translates the paternal feast as Freud describes it in Totem and Taboo. If what is at stake in all of these texts is a history of depths, it is also the case that they all rely upon an originary fiction of the image of a theater (in Klein) or the anthropological‐anthropophagic fiction of Totem and Taboo.
