DEL CIOPPO, Gustavo Federico. The 'cyclical present' of bulimic crisis. Anu. investig. [online]. 2006, vol.13, pp.15-18. ISSN 1851-1686.

The incidence of population and the progressive growth of the "eating conduct disorders" show an increasing and outstanding role of bulimia nervosa and, more specifically, more frequent bulimic symptoms. When analyzing bulimic crisis, and searching the articulation of the subjective and transcendental modality of temporality, it can be found a temporal structure of restrictive characteristics that will be called 'cyclical present'. The purpose of this concept is to give grounds not only to the 'vicious cycle' or 'binge-eating/guilt/purge' cycle, but to that own modality of being that goes around circularity. It is not only the cycle 'I over eat-I'm going to put on weight- I feel guilty - I vomit' of the punctual crisis phenomenon but a 'living present' that is continuously'binge-eaten'.

Keywords : Eating conduct disorders; Bulimia nervosa; Temporality; Crisis; Phenomenology.
