Abstract
`!-- 3406:'resume' --bSummary — A comparison of the processes of sublimation and desexualisation enables us to consider sublimation in so far as it is involved in the genesis of illusion. Sublimation is characterised by direct contact of the drive movements of the id with ego ideal values, and by a constraint to objectify these values in concrete material, which is thus rendered sublime. The dissociation of superego functions explains the fact that it can play a role in both mourning and idealisation. Its relation to engendering means that it is in itself a sublimation of the desire for immortality and for the conservation of the species.
