title: [Ambivalence and diachrony].
abstract: The temporal analysis of ambivalence is based on an account given by two schizophrenic patients and the study of Samuel Becket's "The Nameless One". The narrative process corresponds to a creative expression in which discordance is part of the differences between verbalisation and sensitive phenomenous. Splitting of personality is linked with temporal ambivalence: the immediate past encroaches on the near future, giving an impression of synchronization in the simultaneous interplay of similarity and dissimilarity. The passing of time, disturbed in its accumulative cursus in the schizophrenic patient, results in a conflict between contradictory phenomenous in the same moment. This synchronization of dissimilar perceptions brings together disjunctive and conjunctive categories dominated by such coordinate conjunctions as "and... and", in the living diachronic discordance.
