Description
Summary:Cinema allows words and images to be given to the catastrophic event. It offers the possibility of operating with the real traumatic and consequentlysymbolizing it. Both psychoanalysis and art undertake, through different routes, this arduous task of passing the real to the symbolic, of inscribingthe 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 articleintroduces this thesis through examples from painting, performance and cinema.
