ABSTRACT
The article tries to draw a general, primary model of figuration. It tries to synthesize the understanding of the figure as a lingual entity (discussed by Erich Auerbach), with basic qualities of the plastic figure, as they were presented by various other authors. The article stresses the special relationship of figuration with the reality of the past and with memory. The article then proceeds to explore the plastic figural situation and the special kind of plastic distinction it performs, having to do with things, bodies and their materiality.
