RALON DE WALTON, Graciela. El cuerpo, las cosas y el otro como sistemas de equivalencias: una lectura desde la interpretación del inconsciente. Eidos [online]. 2014, n.21, pp.181-199. ISSN 1692-8857.

The notion of a system of equivalences comes to have in Merleau-Ponty's phe-nomenology a central place because lying under there is a general function of tacit transposition. It is a principle for understanding without analogical explanation, i.e., a synthesis without analysis, as can be seen, for example, in the plasticity, transferability, and likeliness that characterizes habits. On this basis, the article will follow a regres-sive way in order to show that the meaning of the equivalences and transpositions is latent in "the symbolic matrixes" that offer a clue to understand that the phenomena of expression, which occur in the world by means of the body, language, history, and art, should be seen as nodes or emblems of meaning in which a temporal dimension shows itself. Symbolic matrixes are "organizing centers", and thus "centers of signi-ficance" that are taken up over and over again.

Keywords : System of equivalences; expression; dimension; symbolic matrix; institution.
