Cinema as a passer of the real

L’envahisseur | Nicolas Provost | Bélgica 2011

Buenos Aires’ University

Abstract

Cinema allows words and images to be given to the catastrophic event. It offers the possibility of operating with the real traumatic and consequently symbolizing it. Both psychoanalysis and art undertake, through different routes, this arduous task of passing the real to the symbolic, of inscribing the impossible. It is about giving images, words and representations to what is initially absent, silenced, rejected. So that this real ceases to be a mortification made open wound, installed as a vain repetition. In this sense, cinema is a passer from the real to the symbolic through images. This article introduces this thesis through examples from painting, performance and cinema.

Keywords: Cinema | Creative process | Psychoanalysis

This article is, for the time being, only available in Spanish: El cine como pasador de lo real
