Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Lacan (But Were Afraid to Ask Hitchcock)

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Lacan (But Were Afraid to Ask Hitchcock)

Stojan Pelko
3.8/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Hitchcock is placed on the analyst’s couch in this extraordinary volume of case studies, as its contributors bring to bear an unrivalled enthusiasm and theoretical sweep on the entire Hitchcock oeuvre, from Rear Window to Psycho, as an exemplar of ‘postmodern’ defamiliarization. Starting from the premise that ‘everything has meaning’, the films’ ostensible narrative content and formal procedures are analysed to reveal a rich proliferation of ideological and psychical mechanisms at work. But Hitchcock is here to lure the reader into ‘serious’ Marxist and Lacanian considerations on the construction of meaning. Timely, provocative and original, this is sure to become a landmark of Hitchcock studies.
