Freud/Lynch: Behind the Curtain

Product Information

The paper will trace how humour plays an important role in the recollection of trauma and what it means to be stuck in a joke-fantasy while trying to claim one’s place in the world.

With contributions from scholars, psychoanalysts, cinephiles and filmmakers, this collection of essays explores potential affinities and disjunctions between Lynch and Freud. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Why does he invite us into his own dreamscapes and then leave us to figure our own way out, with just a liberal scattering of clues to help?

Each paper is so rich in their handling of the Freud/Lynch dichotomy that we’re delighted Phoenix published a legacy of this project.

This conference invites psychoanalysts, scholars and cinephiles to reflect on these Lynchian enigmas.
