Lindsay, Stuart L. "Reading Chernobyl : psychoanalysis, deconstruction, literature". Thesis, University of Stirling, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/21790.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis explores the psychological trauma of the survivors of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which occurred on April 26, 1986. I argue for the emergence from the disaster of three Chernobyl traumas, each of which will be analysed individually – one per chapter. In reading these three traumas of Chernobyl, the thesis draws upon and situates itself at the interface between two primary theoretical perspectives: Freudian psychoanalysis and the deconstructive approach of Jacques Derrida. The first Chernobyl trauma is engendered by the panicked local response to the consequences of the explosion at Chernobyl Reactor Four by the power plant’s staff, the fire fighters whose job it was to extinguish the initial blaze caused by the blast, the inhabitants of nearby towns and villages, and the soldiers involved in the region’s evacuation and radiation decontamination. Most of these people died from radiation poisoning in the days, weeks, months or years after the disaster’s occurrence. The first chapter explores the usefulness and limits of Freudian psychoanalytic readings of local survivors’ testimonies of the disaster, examining in relation to the Chernobyl event Freud’s practice of locating the authentic primal scene or originary traumatic witnessing experience in his subjects’ pasts, as exemplified by his Wolf Man analysis, detailed in his psychoanalytic study ‘On the History of an Infantile Neurosis’ (1918). The testimonies read through this Freudian psychoanalytic lens are constituted by Igor Kostin’s personal account of the disaster’s aftermath, detailed in his book Chernobyl: Confessions of a Reporter (2006), and by Svetlana Alexievich’s interviews with Chernobyl disaster survivors in her book Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster (2006). The second chapter argues that Freudian psychoanalysis only provides a provisional, ultimately fictional origin of Chernobyl trauma. Situating itself in relation to trauma studies, this thesis, progressing from its first to its second chapter, charts the geographical and temporal shift between these first and second traumas, from trauma-as-sudden-event to trauma-as-gradual-process. In the weeks following the initial Chernobyl explosion, which released into the atmosphere a radioactive cloud that blew in a north-westerly direction across Northern Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Sweden, symptoms of radiation poisoning slowly emerged in the populations of the abovementioned countries. To analyse the psychological impact of confronting this gradual, international unfolding of trauma – the second trauma of Chernobyl – the second chapter of this thesis explores the critique of the global attempt to archivise, elegise and ultimately understand the Chernobyl disaster in Mario Petrucci’s elegies, compiled in his poetry collection Heavy Water: A Poem for Chernobyl (2006), the horror film Chernobyl Diaries (2012, dir. Bradley Parker), and Adam Roberts’ Science Fiction novel, Yellow Blue Tibia (2009). Analysing the deconstructive approach of Jacques Derrida in these texts – his notions of archive fever, impossible mourning and ethical mourning – this chapter argues that the attempt to interiorise, memorialise and mourn the survivors of the Chernobyl disaster is narcissistic, hubristic and violent in the extreme. It then proposes that Derrida’s notion of ethical mourning, outlined most clearly in his lecture ‘Mnemosyne’ (1984), enables us to situate our emotional sympathy for survivors – who, following Derrida’s lecture, are maintained as permanently exterior and inaccessible to us – in our very inability or failure to comprehend or locate the origin of their Chernobyl traumas. The third and final chapter analyses the third trauma of Chernobyl: the psychological and physiological effects of the disaster on second-generation inhabitants living near the Exclusion Zone erected around the evacuated, cordoned-off and still-radioactive Chernobyl region. These second-generation experiences of living near a sealed-away source of intense radiation are reconstructed in literature and videogaming: in Darragh McKeon’s novel All That Is Solid Melts Into Air (2014), Hamid Ismailov’s novel The Dead Lake (2014) and the videogame S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl (2007), developed by the company GSC Game World. The analysis of these texts is informed by Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok’s psychoanalytic theory of the intergenerational phantom: the muteness of a generation’s history which returns to haunt the succeeding generations. This chapter will explore the psychological effects upon second-generation Chernobyl survivors, which result from these survivors’ incorporation or unconscious interiorisation of their parents’ psychologically repressed traumatic Chernobyl experiences, by analysing reconstructions of this process in the abovementioned texts. These parental experiences, echoing the Exclusion Zone as a denied physical space, have been interred in inaccessible psychic crypts. By way of conclusion, the thesis then offers an alternative theory of reading survivors’ Chernobyl trauma. Survivors’ restaging of their Chernobyl witnessing experiences as jokes enables them to cathartically, temporarily abreact their trauma through the laughter that these jokes engender.

Szollosy, Michael. "Surviving our paradoxes : the psychoanalysis and literature of uncertainty". Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2003. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/3440/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis explores the importance of tolerating and facilitating uncertainty as it is recognised by British Independent and Kfeinian psychoanalysis and contemporary British magic realist fiction. In Part I, I offer some theoretical investigations, arguing that postmodem and some psychoanalytic discourses, namely Lacanian psychostructuralism, remarkably fail to address the challenges facing subjects in late- twentieth, early twenty-first century consumer culture. In their inability to tolerate paradoxes and uncertainty, these discourses objectify the subject, through processes of depersonalisation, derealisation and desubjectification. To redress these problems, I offer the work of British psychoanalysts, specifically, that of D. W. Winnicott and Melanie Klein and her followers. These perspectives, I argue, better serve the contemporary subject by recognising the importance of paradox and helping develop facilitating environments for the realisation of creative experience. In Part II, I examine how the play of paradox is fostered in contemporary British magic realist fiction. Specifically, I look at how these narrative strategies attempt to move away from the vicissitudes of internal and external, certainty and uncertainty, reason and unreason, to negotiate a Winnicottian third, potential space. The conceptualisation of such a space, I believe, offers a place from which we can begin to dialogue, to draw ourselves out of the oppositional dialectics that have plagued the bourgeois subject. I believe that in the novels of writers such as Jeanette Winterson, Joanne Harris, John Fowles, John Murray and, most especially, Angela Carter, we can find alternatives to bourgeois conceptions of reason and rationality, alternatives that are not based on the paranoid-schizoid, primitive processes and depersonalisation necessitated by the Enlightenment and capitalism but instead upon, in Kleinian terms, depressive ambivalence and the recognition of whole-objects.

Ray, Nicholas. "Tragedy and otherness : Sophocles, Shakespeare, psychoanalysis". Thesis, University of Warwick, 2002. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/3052/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The thesis is concerned with the relationship between psychoanalysis and tragedy, and the way in which psychoanalysis has structured its theory by reference to models from tragic drama - in particular, those of Sophocles and Shakespeare. It engages with some of the most recent thinking in contemporary French psychoanalysis, most notably the work of Jean Laplanche, so as to interrogate both Freudian metapsychology and the tragic texts in which it claims to identify its prototypes. Laplanche has ventured an ‘other-centred’ re-reading of the Freudian corpus which seeks to go beyond the tendency of Freud himself, and psychoanalysis more generally, to unify and centralise the human subject in a manner which strays from and occults some of the most radical elements of the psychoanalytic enterprise. The (occulted) specificity of the Freudian discovery, Laplanche proposes, lies in the irreducible otherness of the subject to himself and therefore of the messages by which subjects communicate their desires. I argue that Freud’s recourse to literary models is inextricably bound up with the ‘goings-astray’ in his thinking. Laplanche’s work, I suggest, offers an important perspective from which to consider not only the function which psychoanalysis cells upon them to perform, but also that within them for which Freud and psychoanalysis have remained unable to account. Taking three tragic dramas which, more or less explicitly, have borne a formative impact on Freud’s thought, and which have often been understood to articulate the emergence of ‘the subject’, I attempt to set alongside Freud’s own readings of them, the argument that each figures not the unifying or centralising but the radical decentring of its principal protagonists and their communicative acts. By close textual analyses of these three works, and by reference to their historical and cultural contexts, the crucial Freudian motif of parricide (real or symbolic) which structures and connects them is shown ultimately to be an inescapable and inescapably paradoxical gesture: one of liberty and autonomy at the cost of self-division, and of a dependence at the cost of a certain autonomy.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Neil Gunn was one of the principal writers of the Scottish Literary Renaissance movement, the earlytwentieth century flowering of modernist literature in Scotland. Although some commentators have noticed the frequent mentions of psychoanalysis in his work, until now no wider study has been undertaken. In this thesis, I look at Gunn's interest in psychoanalysis in a number of different ways. This is down with the two-fold aim of first, providing a modern assessment of Gunn's work, and second, examining more broadly the history of modernism in Scottish literature. In the introduction, I propose an understanding of modernism based on the literary exploration of new theories of, in this case the mind. I argue that a complex understanding of the interplay of these new theories and literature serves better than a more simple concern with either intellectual developments or changes in literary form alone. In the first section, I look at Sun Circle and The Serpent in the light of psychoanalytic theories of 'primitive' psychology and the history of religion. In the second, I look at Highland River and The Silver Darlings in the light of Freudian and Jungian theories of personal development, regression, and childhood. In the third, I look at the way in which Gunn explores Freud's theories of the warring life- and deathinstincts in both The Shadow and The Lost Chart. I conclude by looking briefly at how Gunn's literary explorations of psychoanalysis link with the work of later writers such as Muriel Spark, Robin Jenkins, Alexander Trocchi, Alasdair Gray, Kenneth White and Alan Spence.

Ao ingressar no trabalho em um hospital universitário, através de um concurso público, experimentei o quão necessária, mas também o quão problemática, é toda nomeação. Porque acredito na necessidade de participação e nas possibilidades de invenção na gestão pública e na clínica psicanalítica, reconstituíram-se perguntas sobre quais aproximações são possíveis entre estes campos. Como a escuta clínica instrumentaliza para o trabalho na instituição? O encontro com a psicanálise, a literatura e os estudos utópicos, enquanto ferramentas ópticas, possibilitou a problematização das inquietações sentidas, produzindo uma experiência compartilhável. A leitura de Thomas Bernhard foi importante re-curso de pesquisa, operando um giro no discurso: da vivência do hospital como um não lugar (u-topos) à um lugar que condensa muitos lugares da cultura (heterotopia). Neste percurso pode-se perceber como a psicanálise e a literatura podem contribuir no campo das instituições. Ao se inscreverem como uma possibilidade de leitura dos discursos correntes, como uma ética (pautada na escuta de singularidades), permitem a análise das relações, das histórias construídas, dos silêncios e repetições, bem como da implicação de cada um na sustentação destas.When I started to work at a university hospital, through a public tender, I have experienced how necessary, and how problematic, it is any nomination. Since I believe in the need for participating and in the possibilities of invention in the public administration and in the psychoanalytic clinic, questions were reconstructed on which approaches are possible between these fields. How the clinical listening does provide the tools to work in the institution? The encounter with psychoanalysis, literature and utopian studies, while optical tools, allowed the questioning of felt concerns, producing a shareable experience. Reading Thomas Bernhard was an important re-search, operating a twist in the speech: from experiencing the hospital as a non-place (u-topos) to a place that condenses many places of culture (heterotopia). In this course, one can see how psychoanalysis and literature can contribute in the field of institutions. When registering as a possibility for reading the current discourse, as an ethic (based on listening of singularities), allow the analysis of the relationship, the stories built, the silences and repetitions, as well as the implication of each one in order to support it.

Using a modified, systematic literature review I will examine issues of subjectivity, gender, and differnce in relation to psychoanalytic feminist theory. Psychoanalytic feminism evolved out of a reaction to classical psychoanalytic theory. In particular, the works of Chodorow (1978), Kristeva, (1977, 1989) and Benjamin (1988) were used. The literature revew will discuss the development of these theoretical perspectives and the understanding of subjectivity, gender and difference in psychoanalytic feminism and the implication this has for clinical practice.

Este trabalho é composto por três ensaios que buscam investigar, por meio de textos literários, elementos sobre a transmissão de um saber-fazer-com o impossível, na interface entre educação e psicanálise. Os ensaios decantam das experiências com o Armazém de Histórias Ambulantes e o Setor de Cuidados Paliativos do Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição em Porto Alegre (RS). O primeiro ensaio aborda os livros que compõem o projeto O Bairro, de Gonçalo M. Tavares, e traz a noção de errância para estabelecer uma proposição metodológica. O segundo ensaio retoma a obra de Herman Melville, Bartleby, o escrevente: uma história de Wall Street, articulando a ideia de paragem como um espaço que suspende um tempo e uma urgência no fazer, interrompendo a consequência antecipada e deixando surgir o que é contingente. Já o terceiro ensaio atualiza elementos da obra A desumanização, do escritor português Valter Hugo Mãe, e tem a alteridade como chave de leitura, alteridade que imanta um campo onde emerge a possibilidade de inventar um saber-fazer-com. Esses ensaios operam como um laboratório de experiências em que a ficção, o ato e a criação seguem na direção de pensar a literatura como um modo de transmissão de um saber- -fazer-com diante do impossível.This work consists of three essays that seek to investigate, through literary texts, elements that can transmit a know-how-with the impossible, at the interface between education and psychoanalysis. The essays enhance from experiences with the Itinerant Stories Warehouse and the palliative care sector of Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição in Porto Alegre – RS. The first essay explores the books that compose the project The Neighborhood, by Gonçalo M Tavares, and explores the notion of wandering to establish a methodological proposition. The second incorporates the work of Herman Melville, Bartleby, the scribe: a story of Wall Street, to articulate the idea of stopping time as a space-time that suspends the time and the urgency in doing, interrupting the early consequence and letting arise what is contingent. The third explores elements in Valter Hugo´s The dehumanization, and suggests the otherness as a key reading; otherness that connects to the field where emerges the possibility of inventing a know-how-with. These essays operate as a laboratory of experiments in which the fiction, the act and creation, follow in the direction of thinking about the literature as a way of transmitting a know-how-with towards the impossible.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Whereas recent studies of psychoanalysis and modernism have tended to 'translate' literature through contemporary French psychoanalytic thought, this dissertation opens up a historical dialogue between English psychoanalysis, modernist writing, art criticism and literary criticism. I argue that a shared anxiety about the redemptive role of art in a period which both writers and analysts characterise as marked by 'unsublimated' drives towards destruction, is coupled with an increasing concern with the precariousness of the frontier between self and culture, and between art and the social and political ideologies upon which culture rests. This double movement is reflected in the structure of the dissertation which begins with a comparison of attempts to make a moral and~aesthetic out of 'the destructive element' by I.A. Richards and Melanie Klein, and ends with Marion Milner's and Stevie Smith's speculations on the complicity between the violence of the self and the violence of the outside world in the thirties. Other writers discussed include W.H. Auden, T.S. Eliot, Roger Fry and Virginia Woolf, as well as Ella Freeman Sharpe, Paula Heimann, Hanna Segal and Adrian Stokes.

Adair, Vance. "The Shakespearean object : psychoanalysis, subjectivity and the gaze". Thesis, University of Stirling, 2000. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/1857.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Through a close analysis of four plays by Shakespeare, this thesis argues that the question of subjectivity ultimately comes to be negotiated around a structural impasse or certain points of opacity in each of the text's signifying practices. Challenging assumptions about the utatively "theatrical" contexts of Richard III, Richard II, Hamlet and Antony and Cleopatra, I argue that, to varying degrees, the specular economy of each play is in fact traversed by a radical alterity that constitutively gives rise to a notion of subjectivity commonly referred to as "Shakespearean". Elaborating upon the work of both Jacques Lacan and Jacques Derrida, I argue that "subjectivity" in the plays is, rather, the articulated confrontation with a non-dialectizable remainder that haunts each text from within. Crucially in this respect I relate each of the texts to Lacan's account of the "gaze" as a species of what he calls the object a: an alien kernel of jouissance exceeding all subjective mediation yet, paradoxically, also that which confers internal consistency both to subjectivity and to the very process of symbolization as such. I am, moreover, also concerned to read the work of Jacques Derrida as providing an illuminating context for how this incursion of alterity that he terms differance (what Lacan calls the Real) may be read as the unacknowledged support of subjectivity. The thesis concludes with a consideration of how this analysis of the Shakespearean object, rather than succumbing to the heady pleasures of an unfettered textuality, opens, ineluctably, onto a rethinking of the very category of the "political" itself.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The present thesis offers a comparative analysis of the theme of feminine doubling, which has not yet been taken into academic consideration. It examines the strategies of construction of relationships bonding mother-figures, daughter-figures, and father-figures in the various texts selected for inclusion in this dissertation from British and Polish literature. The key argument is that the tie between feminine doubles can be positive. A mother-figure (or the first wife) is capable of sharing her experiences with her daughter-figure (or the second wife). The second pivot of this exploration is the figure of a sexual mother. The dissertation comprises three parts. The aim of the first section of the thesis is to provide an introduction to the broad cultural context of the mid-nineteenth- to early twentieth-century Polish literature. The second, pivotal part is an exploration of the themes of feminine doubling and feminine sexuality as manifested in the Polish texts, including Narcyza Żmichowska’s The Heathen, Maria Konopnicka’s “Miss Florentine”, Maria Komornicka’s “On Father and his Daughter” and Zofia Nałkowska’s “Green Shore”. It also consists of an interrogation of the shifts occurring in the plot of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca: these shifts concern the protagonists and the nature of their relationships with the sexual mother-figures. The present analysis stems from the conviction that a comparative reinterpretation of the two novels has been largely overlooked so far. The aim of the thesis is to apply various theoretical approaches that enable the reader to bring together the Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis and écriture féminine. The broad psychoanalytical context, including the works of the forgotten Freudian scholar Sabina Spielrein, provides a basis for the comparison. It also enables a profound, intertextual, and inspiring analysis. The thesis is meant to provide a much-needed new reading of Polish women's literature in a comparative structure, so that these texts may be afforded their appropriate position within the British and Polish critique. The innovative features of the research include its comparative character, and the implementation of various psychoanalytical approaches to the Polish works. Additionally, the thesis focuses on literary analysis. It incorporates the findings of various scholars interested in issues associated with “femininity”: it emphasises the importance of gender and feminist issues to the literary (re)interpretation of women’s texts. The present investigation is not conclusive and should be viewed as a stepping stone for further comparative exploration of Polish novels penned by women.

O presente trabalho realiza um estudo do tema da busca e seus desdobramentos nos contos de João Antônio. A dissertação focaliza, em especial, as narrativas que integram os livros Malagueta Perus e Bacanaço (1963) e Abraçado ao meu Rancor (1986). O eixo teórico se constitui a partir das conceituações de tema desenvolvidas por B. Tomachevski, acrescidas de formulações de T. Todorov, Maurice Blanchot e Jean-Pierre Richard. Com o auxílio deste referencial teórico, identifica-se os elementos relacionados à busca, investigando sua ocorrência em ambos os livros e evidenciando seu papel estruturador nas narrativas. Na elaboração das análises textuais, sempre que pertinente, lança-se mão de conceitos da psicanálise freudiana que contribuem para a compreensão dos núcleos afetivos em torno dos quais se organiza a temática em foco.This work analyses the subject matter of the search and its unfolding within João Antônios short stories. The dissertation is mainly focused on the narratives that form Malagueta Perus e Bacanaço (1963) and Abraçado ao Meu Rancor (1986) books. Theoretical axis is based on the thematic concepts developed by B. Tomachevski, added by formulations from T. Todorov, Maurice Blanchot and Jean-Pierre Richard. Supported by this theory references, the elements connected to the search have been identified, investigating occurrence in both books and evidencing its structuring role in the narratives. For textual analysis preparation, whenever applicable, concepts of Freudian psychoanalysis were used in order to cooperate for the understanding of the affection cores which center the organization of the referred subject matter.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This essay is a psychoanalytical reading of the Scottish author Muriel Spark’s novel The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. The protagonist is a charismatic teacher, who is popular among her pupils, but who appears to use her power and position merely in order to manipulate her pupils. It appears that Miss Brodie’s main interest is not her pupils’ academic achievements, but she has a different agenda on her mind. This essay examines the unconscious motives behind the protagonist’s peculiar treatment of her pupils by learning more about what takes place in the human mind, when the individual starts to listen to the sound of defensive mechanisms instead of to the sound of logic.

Este trabalho tem como base os aportes da teoria psicanalítica, em especial daquilo que Lacan desenvolveu acerca do feminino e da escrita. Ao usar esse referencial, buscou-se fazer um rastreamento teórico dos dois conceitos, com o objetivo de articulá-los. Em Psicanálise, desde Freud, a escrita foi pensada como uma metáfora das inscrições psíquicas, portanto, do substrato do inconsciente. O feminino recebeu também um tratamento diferenciado do senso comum, pois, embora anatomia e gênero sejam aspectos que não se podem negligenciar, os últimos aportes a respeito do feminino, para a Psicanálise de orientação lacaniana, fazem referência a uma posição em que o sujeito está não-todo regulado pelo padrão fálico. Além disso, essa posição comporta um gozo que foge da possibilidade de apreensão pelo aparato simbólico humano. Ora, se o feminino aponta para um excedente, essa mesma perspectiva é encontrada na concepção de escrita e, em especial, de letra, quando Lacan começou a articulála com o gozo. A partir desse enquadre, foi proposto o argumento de que o feminino habita o lugar de gozo da escrita/letra. Como é possível observar, fez-se uma torção no uso dos dois significantes, de maneira que, ao invés de uma escrita feminina, sugeriu-se pensar no feminino na escrita. Deixando de ser adjetivo, o feminino passou a ser tratado não como a qualidade de alguns escritos, mas como substância da escrita, que seria, eventualmente, reconhecida em certos escritos literários construídos nesse território-litoral, no qual gozo e significante se margeiam. Assim, saindo da perspectiva da escrita psíquica, foram trabalhados alguns textos literários, nos quais, foi possível observar ressonâncias da posição feminina. Por fim, discutiu-se como tal posição poderia comparecer na educação de maneira geral e na escrita trabalhada na escola, de maneira específica. Observa-se que o professor tem maiores e melhores condições de criar alternativas para lidar com o \"gozo excessivo\" que permeia o campo educativo quando a posição feminina, na sua vertente de não-todo e de pluralidade, pode ser sustentada.This work is based on the contribution of the psychoanalytic theory, especially the one developed by Lacan on the feminine and writing. By using this reference, an attempt was made to theoretically track those two concepts, intending to articulate them. In Psychoanalysis, since Freud, the writing was thought as a metaphor of the psychic registrations, so, from the unconscious substrate. The feminine received as well a differentiated treatment of the common sense, because, despite anatomy and gender are aspects that can\'t be neglected, the latest contributions on the feminine, for the Lacanian oriented Psychoanalysis, make reference to a position where the person is not-all regulated by the phallic patterns. Besides, this position comprises an enjoyment that escapes from the possibility of seizure by the human symbolic apparatus. Nevertheless, if the feminine indicates a surplus, this same perspective is found in the conception of writing and, in special, of the letter, when Lacan started to articulate it with the enjoyment. From this point of view moment, it is proposed that the feminine inhabits the place of enjoyment of the writing/letter. As it\'s possible to observe, a twist was made in the use of both significants, so that, instead of a feminine writing, it was suggested to think about the feminine in the writing. No longer used as an adjective, the feminine started to be treated not as a quality in some writings, but as a substance of writing, which would be, eventually, recognized in some literary writings made in this territory-coast, where enjoyment and significant are side by side. So, leaving the perspective of the psychic writing, some literary texts were studied where it was possible to observe resonance of the feminine position. At last, it was discussed how such position could attend in education in a general way and in writing as worked at school, in a specific way. It is noticed that the teacher has more and better conditions to create alternatives to deal with the \"excess of enjoyment\" that permeates the educative field when the feminine position, in it\'s not fullness and plurality can be sustained.

Stringer, Sarah C. "Autism in France and the United States: Integrating Perspectives from Psychoanalysis to Cognitive Science". Scholarship @ Claremont, 2012. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/65.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Autism is a condition that receives considerable attention around the world. In France and the United States there are significant ruptures between the various groups treating individuals with the disorder. The current study first explored some of the reasons for these conflicts and then attempted to bridge French psychodynamic theories and English biological models of autism using cognitive measures. Specifically, this experiment examined multisensory integration and motor defense mechanisms in people with varying levels of autistic traits from a nonclinical population. Participants viewed a rubber hand that was stroked either synchronously or asynchronously with their own hand and rated the extent to which they felt that their hand resembled the rubber hand. It was hypothesized that the more autistic tendencies participants expressed, the less multisensory integration and embodiment they would exhibit through their reported feelings of the illusion. It was also expected that people with higher autistic traits would demonstrate rigid musculature through their performance on the Purdue Pegboard. Results partially supported the first hypothesis but did not support the second. The data revealed that individuals with higher autism scores experienced the asynchronous condition significantly more than those with lower autism scores. There was no difference in performance on the Purdue Pegboard task in relation to one’s reported levels of autism. Results are discussed in the context of efforts to integrate research and develop a more cohesive view of autism among the many parties involved in treating the disorder.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Since its publication in 1845, Prosper Mérimée’s Carmen has been adapted many times for stage and screen. This essay focuses on the novella, Bizet’s 1875 opera, Saura’s 1983 film and Paul Van Haver’s (known by his stage name Stromae) music video. Already the novella describes Carmen’s exotic aura as a strong, enigmatic presence in her laughter, singing, dancing, magic spells, and strange Gypsy dialect–qualities of otherness that Bizet effected musically in his opera. I propose a Jungian approach to Carmen (José’s anima tainted by his anxious desires) and in particular to her voice in order to explain archetypical aspects of her character in two musical numbers that would henceforth become her signature tunes: the Habanera and the Seguidilla. Both numbers are characterized by juxtapositions of transgressive chromaticism and plain diatonic, triadic tonality. Carmen’s voice, both as an object of desire and as a source of perilous power, is essential to her character and persists in Saura’s choreographic “backstage” Carmen (1983). Here, a peculiar ensemble of onscreen tape recording, diegetic humming, and metadiegetic daydreaming recalls Carmen’s vocal presence as surrogate voices of an avowedly inexperienced singer. While in Stromae’s music video, Habanera’s rebellious love-bird is transformed to Twitter’s blue bird, sitting on the shoulder of the user, casting its shadow on their life. The habanera is performed by the male-singer tuned with a rhythmic rap beat and its emblematic lyrics takes the aria into another level. In conclusion, I argue that different versions of Carmen retain and problematize her voice in spite, or rather because, of stark differences of their aural and visual settings as the ontologically ambiguous centerpiece of her character.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The essay analyzes how and why Moll Flanders’s childhood created mental and emotional patterns that would come to shape her personality and affect her behavior. The analysis will use psychoanalytical theories by Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan to discern what defense mechanisms and desires Moll developed in childhood and how these presented themselves throughout her life. The essay concludes that she has a fear of abandonment and intimacy and that she uses denial and sublimation to repress anxiety and guilt. Moll’s core desire is to find stability, which is why she continuously strives for financial security due to equating money to comfort and safety. She sublimates her unconscious desire to replace her childhood caretakers and her repressed fears of annihilation by finding new men to take care of her. However, Moll’s unconscious keeps causing her to repeat negative behavioral patterns which trap her in cycles of fortune and misfortune.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo principal analisar o período literário conhecido como barroco em Portugal, relacionando as poesias deste período aos conceitos de gozo e amor na psicanálise. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisou-se o conceito de barroco e suas principais características. Para se obter um conhecimento do conceito de gozo na teoria psicanalítica, primeiramente, a pesquisa consta da leitura de dois textos fundamentais de Freud que dissertam sobre a pulsão: A pulsão e suas vicissitudes e Além do princípio do prazer. O teórico analisado a seguir é Lacan, que retoma e amplia este conceito freudiano até chegar a sua teoria sobre o gozo. Por fim, analisa-se a poesia seiscentista portuguesa a partir do conceito de gozo e amorThis thesis has as its main goal to analyze the literary period known as Baroque in Portugal, relating poetry of this period to the concepts of jouissance and love in Psychoanalysis. Through a thorough bibliographical research, the concept of Baroque and its major features have been established. To acquire the knowledge of the concept of jouissance in the psychoanalytic theory, first the research contains the reading of two fundamental texts by Freud that talk about the drive: Drive and its Vicissitudes and Beyond the Pleasure Principle. The following theoretical analyzed is Lacan, that resumes and expands this Freudian concept until it reaches his final Lacanian theory about jouissance. At last, the Portuguese poetry of the XVI century is carefully observed through the concepts of love and jouissance

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Philosophiae Doctor - PhDAs a literary intervention, The Post-Genocidal Condition: Ghosts of Genocide, Genocidal Violence, and Representation is situated at the intersection of genocide studies, psychoanalysis, and literature so as to enable a critical engagement with the question of genocide and an attempt to think beyond its formulation as phenomenon. As the dominant framework for thinking genocide within international jurisprudence, and operating as the guiding terrain for interventions by scholars such as Mamood Mamdani, Linda Melvern, and William Schabas, the presumption that genocide may be reduced to a marked beginning and end, etched out by the limits of its bloodiness, is, I argue, incomplete and thus a misdiagnosis of the problem, to various effects. Moreover, I contend that it is this misdiagnosis that has led to what I name as the post-genocidal condition: a deferred return to the latent violences of genocide; enabled often through various mechanisms of transitional justice. This intervention is not a denial that under the rubric of the crime of genocide, as an attempt to destroy in whole or in part what Raphael Lemkin referred to as an “enemy group”, millions of people have died. Rather what I posit is that the physical violence of genocide is a false limit – that the bloodiness of genocide has been mistaken for the thing-in-itself. Thus this intervention is an attempt to offer another way of thinking the question of genocide by reading it as concept, enabling a consideration of its more latent violences, its ghosts. As such, I argue that genocide is first an attack on the minds of the persons who form the targeted people or group, through the destruction of cultural apparatuses, such as books, works of art, and the language of a people, to name but a few; and is lastly an attempt to physically exterminate a people. Thus this intervention invites a return to Lemkin’s formulation of the term in Axis Rule in Occupied Europe: Laws of Occupation, Analysis of Government, Proposals for Redress (1944); that the word genocide is meant to “signify”, and as such offers a reading of the question of genocide as signifier, understood, I suggest, in the Lacanian sense. Thus, I posit that genocide, as signifier, operates on both the levels of metaphor and metonym, and as such both condenses and displaces its violence(s). The metaphor for genocide as signifier is, furthermore, rather than the signifying chain as Lacan would have it, the network. As such genocide is marked as text, rather than work; its perpetrators not authors, as Lemkin and various pieces of legislation have described them, but writers; and those who engage with the question of genocide, to whatever degree, as readers rather than critics. Consequently, this intervention stages the question of the reach of impunity and complicity, beyond the limit of judicial guilt and innocence. Metonymically, the relational displacement at work within the network of genocide allows for a reading of the various constitutive examples of the violence(s) that, in combinations and as collective, produce a new signification, other than that of the definitional referent.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
ABSTRACT
The premise of my thesis is to approach poetics anew, using psychoanalysis and other related theoretical disciplines to help answer the often overlooked but fundamental question: 'What is poetry?' This thesis is based on the notion that Freud's insight into the unconscious is itself the key to unlocking the essential function of poetry as it has come to be understood in the 20th century, throughout the modernist period; and that Lacan, as a rewriting of Freud, specifically developed a theory of language that provides the beginnings of a psychoanalytic poetics. Another component of this thesis involves the claim that, of all the modernists, Wallace Stevens particularly embodies a poetic style that most closely embodies the theoretical position of psychoanalysis.
In the first chapter of this study my aim is to draw out thoroughly the relationship to Freudian psychoanalysis and poetry'and to make the specific argument that Freud's technique for dream interpretation is essentially the one that we use to interpret or to read modern poetry.
The second chapter deals with repetition, a favorite of psychoanalysis and poetry, in order to make the claim that the ultimate form of metaphor is repetition, which, more than just a rhetorical technique, has much to do with the human psyche and the formation of subjectivity proper.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis examines three novels by Latin American writers: Roberto Bolaño’s 2666, Horacio Castellanos Moya’s Senselessness, and Evelio Rosero’s The Armies. These novels look at actual instances of violence in Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia, contributing to a social critique of historical and ongoing inequality and injustice in Latin America and the global South. Using Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic theories of subjectivity, this thesis argues that the novels express the human potential in desire for and to create excess. This has the effect of universalising guilt against the tendency to contextualise or localise events of violence in Mexico, Central, and South America.

Este trabalho insere-se no âmbito da Psicologia Social da Arte e, ao analisar obras cinematográficas e literárias, vale-se de referenciais da estética e da psicanálise. São analisados os filmes Lavoura arcaica, Abril despedaçado, O cheiro do ralo, Linha de passe e Jogo de cena, e os romances Lavoura arcaica e Budapeste. Nessa medida, os capítulos desta tese aproximam-se da forma ensaio, uma vez que priorizam as possibilidades especulativas de apreensão da realidade. A partir das leituras das obras, emergiram os seguintes temas: liberdade e opressão; ressignificação da lei e perversão; realidade e ficção; reflexão sobre os mecanismos de construção da verdade. Assim, o capítulo final se propõe a refletir em que medida essa tomada de contato com as obras pode fundamentar uma perspectiva de leitura. Por meio de uma discussão sobre realidade, ideologia e ficção, a leitura dirigida às obras volta-se a si mesma, em uma perspectiva aqui denominada poética-críticaThis work falls within the scope of Social Psychology of Art and, on analyzing film and literary works, it resorts to referential aesthetics and psychoanalysis. The films Lavoura arcaica, Abril despedaçado, O cheiro do ralo, Linha de Passe and Jogo de cena, and the novels, Lavoura arcaica and Budapeste are hereby analyzed. To this extent, the chapters of this thesis approach essay form, once they prioritize speculative possibilities of apprehending reality. The following themes emerged from the readings of these works: freedom and oppression; redefinition of law and perversion; reality and fiction; reflection upon the mechanisms of the construction of truth. Thus, the final chapter aims to reflect to what extent that making contact with these works can support a reading perspective. Through a discussion of reality, ideology and fiction, reading directed to these works turns back to itself, in a so-called poetical-critical perspective
