In a "return" to Edmund Husserl and Sigmund Freud, Intimacy and the
Anxieties of Cinematic Flesh explores how we can engage these
foundational thinkers of phenomenology and psychoanalysis in an
original approach to film. The idea of the intimate spectator
caught up in anxiety is developed to investigate a range of topics
central to these critical approaches and cinema, including: flesh
as a disruptive state formed in the relationships of intimacy and
anxiety; time and the formation of cinema's enduring objects; space
and things; the sensual, the "real" and the unconscious; wildness,
disruption, and resistance; and the nightmare, reading "phantasy"
across the critical fields. Along with Husserl and Freud, other key
thinkers discussed include Edith Stein, Roman Ingarden, Maurice
Merleau-Ponty, Mikel Dufrenne in phenomenology; Melanie Klein,
Ernest Jones, Julia Kristeva, and Rosine Lefort in psychoanalysis.
Framing these issues and critical approaches is the question: how
might Husserlian phenomenology and Freudian/Lacanian
psychoanalysis, so often seen as contradistinctive, be explored
through their potential commonalities rather than differences? In
addressing such a question, this book postulates a new approach to
film through this phenomenological/psychoanalytic
reconceptualization. A wide range of films are examined not simply
as exemplars, but to test the idea that cinema itself can be a
version of critical thinking.
