Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Alda Regina Dorneles de et al. Jonathan, by Jordan and Ridley Scott: algunos comentarios psicoanalíticos. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2011, vol.45, n.1, pp. 125-136. ISSN 0486-641X.

The UNICEF State of the World Children Report 2006 - Excluded and Invisible showed the world the frailty to which the children of the planet are exposed. With the objective of rendering the document even more visible, the producer Chiara Tilesi, in the movie All the Invisible Children, brought different movie directors together to show their views on the subject. This text is a result of the effect, on each one of the authors, of watching Jonathan, by Ridley and Jordan Scott, one of the short films which compose All the Invisible Children. Following the chain of transformations triggered by the images in Jonathan - specially by the way it portrays the suffering of a photographic reporter when confronted with the reality of war - the authors, along with theoretical and clinical considerations, reflect on what it means to witness the pain of another and on some possible mechanisms to help working-through this terrible task. They end by reflecting on the vicissitudes of suffering in the work of the analyst with his/her patients.

Keywords : psychoanalysis and cinema; caesura; negative capability; reverie; resignification.
