Abstract

PUCCINELLI, Maysa  and  CHATELARD, Daniela. About crossing anguish in the Trilogy of Silence. J. psicanal. [online]. 2016, vol.49, n.91, pp.241-256. ISSN 0103-5835.

Starting from S. Freud's and J. Lacan's contributions, the author proposes an investigation into the theory of anguish, despite its resonances in Ingmar Bergman's Silence Trilogy, which is composed by the movies, Through a Mirror Glass (1961-1962), Winter Light (1961-1962), and The Silence (1962). Although these works establish a movie compendium which is unified under the signifier "Silence", they still echo paradigmatic features of a discursive system that does not hesitate to approach the Lacanian reality, which is characterized by what does not lie: the anguish. The author emphasizes that Freud categorized "silence" among the three elements that form infantile anguish (silence, solitude, and darkness). Therefore, the author's purpose is to problematize anguish as well as its impact on subjective structures, under the support of these aesthetic operators - content and form -, which were made present in Ingmar Bergman's filmic speech.

Keywords : movies; anguish; strange; reality; real; Bergman.
