| description | Is psychoanalysis filmable? Before the proliferation of films and series that seek to recreate on the screen the figure of analysts and patients, the question becomes inescapable. To address this delicate issue, both clinical and aesthetic, the most anticipated book has just appeared: The wonderful eye: (des) encounters between psychoanalysis and cinema. The result of a rigorous investigation of decades, Eduardo Laso's work comes to crown his solid training in psychoanalysis, epistemology and ethics, along with his passion for cinema. Professor for many years of the chair of Irene Friedenthal (Psychoanalysis: Freud) and founding member of the Buenos Aires Society of Psychoanalysis, he is currently a researcher of the UBA Science and Technology Program and professor of Ethics and Human Rights and Psychology at the CBC . To give a semblance of only one of the points developed in the book, let's say that Sigmund Freud, the inventor of psychoanalysis, was recreated on the screen in more than twenty films. Incarnated by actors such as Montgomery Clift, Curt Jurgens, Max von Sydow or Viggo Mortensen, his figure became an icon of culture. The cinema represented Freud analyzing his classic patients, such as Anna O., Elizabeth von R, or Dora, but also Gustav Mahler, Marie Bonaparte or Lou Andreas-Salomé. And by the way to apocryphal characters, such as young Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes, Hitler, Mr. Spock, or the Transylvanian vampire himself. This long series, ranging from sublime representations to ridiculous banalizations, informs us about the revulsive nature of psychoanalysis. His viewing and careful reading by Eduardo Laso allows us to think about the tension between ethics and aesthetics, while introducing epistemological issues from a renewed experience as spectators in a movie theater. |

Ante la proliferación de películas y series que buscan recrear en la pantalla la figura de analistas y pacientes, la pregunta se torna ineludible. Para abordar esta delicada cuestión, a la vez clínica y estética, acaba de aparecer el libro más esperado: El ojo maravilloso: (des)encuentros entre psicoanálisis y cine. Fruto de una investigación rigurosa de décadas, la obra de Eduardo Laso viene a coronar su sólida formación en psicoanálisis, epistemología y ética, junto a su pasión por el cine. Docente durante muchos años de la cátedra de Irene Friedenthal (Psicoanálisis: Freud) y miembro fundador de la Sociedad Porteña de Psicoanálisis, es actualmente investigador del Programa de Ciencia y Técnica de la UBA y docente de Ética y Derechos Humanos y de Psicología en el CBC.Para dar una semblanza de sólo uno de los puntos desarrollados en el libro, digamos que Sigmund Freud, el inventor del psicoanálisis, fue recreado en la pantalla en más de veinte películas. Encarnado por actores como Montgomery Clift, Curt Jurgens, Max von Sydow o Viggo Mortensen, su figura se transformó en un ícono de la cultura. El cine representó a Freud analizando a sus pacientes clásicas, como Anna O., Elizabeth von R, o Dora, pero también a Gustav Mahler, Marie Bonaparte o Lou Andreas-Salomé. Y por cierto a personajes apócrifos, como al joven Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes, Hitler, el Sr. Spock, o el mismísimo vampiro de Transilvania. Esta larga serie, que va desde representaciones sublimes hasta banalizaciones ridículas, nos informa sobre el carácter revulsivo del psicoanálisis. Su visionado y lectura atentapor parte de Eduardo Laso permite pensar la tensión entre ética y estética, a la vez que introducir cuestiones epistemológicas desde una renovada experiencia como espectadores en una sala de cine.
