The socialisation significance of personal objects generates ambivalence within the transference context of human-object relations, as well as within the scope of intra-personal transformation and development processes. Things unfold their own specific effects in such transitional spaces, which can rarely be determined in advance or as a thing in itself. The thesis of this article is that precisely this blurring of betwixt and beyond makes objects so susceptible to ambivalence. From the perspective of the current discourses on ambivalence and its heuristics, these reflections are related to the possible impact of the first things and last things in the transitions that occur during the course of human life. This involves analysing (1) the importance of dolls as early childhood transitional objects, (2) how individuals deal with personal items when moving into a nursing home and (3) how objects are handled as they are inherited. All three transitional contexts create a remarkable potential for ambivalence dynamics, which have a performative effect while initiating the further development of identity.
