| description | The psychoanalytical perspective on cinema most frequently adopts either the logic of applied psychoanalysis or an ‘isomorphic’ stance. This limits the contribution that the encounter between cinema and psychoanalysis might have to offer if both fields were approached from a stance which respects the individual power and respective singularity. This paper presents a synthetic identification of what appears as essential in any research-based approach to this question, with an aim to making film analysis as fruitful as possible. Walter Benjamin was quick to recognise that psychoanalysis and cinema opened up new horizons in both seeing and listening, in ways that could not hitherto be seen or heard. He also realised that these two fields could be powerful in their complementarity. The language of cinema –when its true eloquence is recognised– enables us to depict the effects of the real in ways that no other material can. yet this paper argues that exploring harmonious connections between the gaze of psychoanalysis and that of cinema means that a ‘double focal point’ is created. Two focal points which, when they come together, bind the invisible with the visible - the invisible of unconscious stakes with the visible of the image in motion. |

Desde la mirada psicoanalítica, el arte cinematográfico es tomado –en la mayoría de los casos– ya sea desde una lógica de psicoanálisis aplicado, o bien en términos “isomórficos”. Esto limita el aporte que el encuentro entre el cine y el psicoanálisis puede generar cuando estos dos campos son reconocidos con sus respectivas fuerza y singularidad. Este artículo propone identificar, sintéticamente, lo que se presenta como esencial en una perspectiva de investigación que posibilite que el análisis fílmico pueda ser lo más fructuoso posible. Walter Benjamin vio muy tempranamente que tanto el psicoanálisis como el cine abrieron campos visuales y auditivos de lo que no podía ser visto ni oído hasta entonces. Y que esos campos podían ser fuertemente complementarios. El lenguaje cinematográfico –cuando se lo reconoce con toda su fuerza– permite identificar efectos de lo real como ningún otro material permite hacerlo. Desde el inicio, nuestra hipótesis será considerar que unir armoniosamente la mirada cinematográfica con la mirada psicoanalítica es abrir un “doble foco”. Dos focos que, al encontrarse, tienden a conectar lo invisible con lo visible. Lo invisible de los aspectos inconscientes a lo visible que abre la imagen-movimiento.
