“De(montage) of the Subject

in Cinema and Psychoanalysis”

Welcome to the International Online Conference: (De)montage of the Subject in Cinema and Psychoanalysis, taking place on December 14th, 2024.
This conference explores the intersection of cinema and psychoanalysis, focusing on how the construction and deconstruction of the subject are represented and analyzed through film. Join leading experts, psychoanalysts, and film scholars as we delve into the complex interplay of narrative, identity, and unconscious processes.

Topics:
- film adaptation of fiction: unconscious structured like a language and like an image;
- interpretation in critics and psychoanalysis;
- psychoanalytical mechanisms in cinema: projection, introjection, transference;
- object a and scopic drive in formation of the subject;
- recording of memory and identity.

By December 1 we are waiting for the title and abstract of the report of about 50 words/ The duration of the report is about 20-25 minutes. You will receive a link to the zoom-meeting a few days before the conference.
