According to Dana Arnold and Margaret Iversen in the book Art and Thought (2003)‏, "the extimate is not the opposite of intimate. It is the Lacanian terms [in psychology] generated to explain those psychic phenomena that defy the inside/outside, self/other boundary and are thus both exterior and intimate at the same time. Extimite is connected with Lacan's theory of object a which is a trace in the psych of that from which the subject has been cut away, like a negative shadow. It is thus the otherside of the subject, foreign and removed yet encapsulated within the psyche's most fundamental recesses" (151). Basma El-Shimy Misr International University
