Psychoanalysis and the Unrepresentable opens a space for meaningful
debate about translating psychoanalytic concepts from the work of
clinicians to that of academics and back again. Focusing on the
idea of the unrepresentable, this collection of essays by
psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, counsellors, artists and film and
literary scholars attempts to think through those things that are
impossible to be thought through completely. Offering a unique
insight into areas like trauma studies, where it is difficult - if
not impossible - to express one's feelings, the collection draws
from psychoanalysis in its broadest sense and acts as a gesture
against the fixed and the frozen. Psychoanalysis and the
Unrepresentable is presented in six parts: Approaching Trauma,
Sense and Gesture, Impossible Poetics, Without Words, Wounds and
Suture and Auto/Fiction. The chapters therein address topics
including touch and speech, adoption, the other and grief, and
examine films including Gus Van Sant's Milk and Michael Haneke's
Amour. As a whole, the book brings to the fore those things which
are difficult to speak about, but which must be spoken about. The
discussion in this book will be key reading for psychoanalysts,
including those in training, psychotherapists and
psychotherapeutically-engaged scholars, academics and students of
culture studies, psychosocial studies, applied philosophy and film
studies, filmmakers and artists.
