In their study of religion and film, religious film analysts have
tended to privilege religion. Uniquely, this study treats the two
disciplines as genuine equals, by regarding both liturgy and film
as representational media. Steve Nolan argues that, in each case,
subjects identify with a represented 'other' which joins them into
a narrative where they become participants in an ideological
'reality'. Finding many current approaches to religious film
analysis lacking, Film, Lacan and the Subject of Religion explores
the film theory other writers ignore, particularly that mix of
psychoanalysis, Marxism and semiotics - often termed Screen theory
- that attempts to understand how cinematic representation shapes
spectator identity. Using translations and commentary on Lacan not
originally available to Screen theorists, Nolan returns to Lacan's
contribution to psychoanalytic film theory and offers a sustained
application to religious practice, examining several 'priest films'
and real-life case study to expose the way liturgical
representation shapes religious identity. Film, Lacan and the
Subject of Religion proposes an interpretive strategy by which
religious film analysts can develop the kind of analysis that
engages with and critiques both cultural and religious practice.
