The starting point of this article are the situations described by Walt Whiteman in the following words: “There was a child went forth every day,/And the first object he look’d upon, that object he became,/And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day,/Or for many years or stretching cycles of years/ (…)./His own parents, he that had father’d him and she that had conceiv’d him in her womb and birth’d him,/They gave this child more of themselves than that,/ They gave him afterward every day, they became part of him (…)./These became part of that child who went forth every day, and who now goes, and will always go forth every day”. The article provides examples of the presence of parents in an adult child who sometimes commemorate in it as a wound that does not heal, which sometimes becomes stigma, and with time healed, leaves behind scars of insensitivity, to protect from injury. These examples are, on the one hand, a testimony to the trauma of birth, which is not immune to the passage of time; on the other hand, they provide arguments that trauma – once again experienced in the presence of someone who does not reduce its traces to mental disorders and behavior, may become a return to the place from which life begins: “warm and nutritious”.

This essay compares Freud’s and Heidegger’s concept of Angst. Heidegger’s and Freud’s interpretations are guided by different aims: A) in “Inhibition, Symptom and Anxiety” Freud tries to define the concept of anxiety as a main element in neurosis; B) Heidegger’s notion plays a major role in gaining the existential meaning of Dasein. Despite the differences, this essay claims that it is possible to discover a common anthropo-existential interpretation. Anxiety marks the anthropological and existential passage from the non-distinction of the pre-subjective life to the distinction that emerges from the progressive differentiation of the subject from the world. From such a distinction originates the conflict between the tendency to regain non-distinction (as a pre-birth condition) and the necessity of multiplicity. In Freud, anxiety is the price for the renunciation of indistinction; in Heidegger, anxiety is encountered when this price is recognized as unavoidable. This is the core problem that this study takes into account in order to show the existential and anthropological role of anxiety. I will proceed with an analysis of Freud’s interpretation of anxiety, and then with the Heideggerian notion. The third part points out the affinity between them. Furthermore, the paper focuses on the dis-chronic temporality that characterizes the trauma of birth. In order to show the latter, we compare the temporalities of trauma and aesthetic experience. To perform this temporal analysis, the text adopts a phenomenological viewpoint (especially from Husserl).
