The Foundation Matrix - A Useful Fiction

Regine Scholz

regine.scholz{at}t-online.de

In this article, the author focuses on Foulkes’s concept of the foundation matrix, re-examining its heuristic value in a theory of unconscious processes, trying to outline what could be the ‘contents’ of the foundation matrix as well as to formulate the related media of communication. Emphasis is laid on the significance of bodily communication, including gestures and rituals as conceptualized by the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu as ‘habitus’.

Key Words: foundation matrix • individual • social • levels of communication • habitus
