| Summary: | "Traumatic Encounters in Italian Film brings together film and psychoanalysis in a vibrantly original way. By fusing Lacanian theory with Italian cinema, the book excavates the repressed knowledge that lurks in the unconscious gaps between the film narrative and its interpretations. Fantasy, desire and trauma are among the key notions here applied to the study of film." "Lacanian theory is carefully defined and explained, making the arguments included in the study entirely accessible. The book is interdisciplinary in its approach and targets an array of subjects including Italian studies, film studies, psychoanalysis, philosophy, critical theory and cultural studies."--BOOK JACKET. |
