Description

In 1968, Stanley Kubrick completed and released his magnum opus motion picture 2001: A Space Odyssey; a time that was also tremendously important in the formation of the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan. Bringing these figures together, Bristow offers a study that goes beyond, as the film did. He extends Lacan�s late topological insights, delves into conceptualisations of desire, in G. W. F. Hegel, Alexandre Koj�ve, and Lacan himself, and deals with the major themes of cuts (filmic and psychoanalytic); space; silence; surreality; and �das Ding�, in relation to the movie�s enigmatic monolith. This book is a tour de force of psychoanalytic theory and space odyssey that will appeal to academics and practitioners of psychoanalysis and film studies, as well as to any fan of Kubrick�s work.Typham this is the title: 2001: A Space Odyssey and Lacanian Psychoanalytic Theory
