The Originary Scene is the series of moments whereby the originary event was instantiated, which is coeval with all significance: Constituent elements of this scene include language, desire, the esthetic, the sacred, etc., which all then correspond with the geometry between various social actors. The pragmatic paradox between participants within this scene, effected the birth of representation from the mimetic triangle, following the emission of the aborted gesture of appropriation. The gesture was capable of carrying over one’s intention to defer appropriation of the central object, to other participants within the scene.
