This book explores how traumatic experiences of impingement and
neglect - in childhood and adulthood, and at both the family and
the state level - may create a desire in us to be parented by
certain kinds of screen media that we unconsciously believe are
"watching over" us when nothing else seems to be. Andrew Asibong
explores how viewers make psychical use of eerily moving images,
observed in film and television and later taken into an already
traumatised mind, in order to facilitate some form of reparation
for a stolen experience of caregiving. It explores the possibility
of a media-based "working through" of both the general traumas of
early environmental failure and the particular traumas of viewers
racialised as Black, eventually asking how politicised film groups
in the age of Black Lives Matter might heal from a troubled past
and prepare for an uncertain future through the spontaneous
discussion - in the here and now - of enlivening images of
potentially deadly vulnerability. Post-traumatic Attachments to the
Eerily Moving Image: Something to Watch Over Me will be of great
interest to academics and students of film, media and television
studies, trauma studies and psychoanalysis, culture, race and
ethnicity.
