Abstract

ABSTRACT This speculative essay focuses on the defensive disavowal of childhood sexual abuse that is effected through the recursive intrapsychic and interpersonal operations of identification with and introjection of the aggressor that act in tandem to prohibit traumatic knowing. In the film The Tale, these operate cinematically at diegetic and metadiegetic levels, and are present in both symbolized and enacted forms. The deconstruction and reconstruction of traumatic reality is examined through the film’s oneiric interpolations of past and present time, reality and fantasy, and use of semiologic elements. The traumatic injury is remembered, repeated, and worked through, undergirded by the operations of nachträglichkeit and repetition compulsion.

《故事》中创伤性的知晓/不知晓与被否认者的回归

摘要：这篇推测性的文章聚焦于对儿童性虐待的防御性否认，这种否认是通过对施暴者的认同和内向的递归心理和人际操作来实现的，这些操作协同作用以禁止创伤知情。在电影《故事》中，这些故事在电影层面和元层面上运作，并以象征和实施的形式出现。通过电影对过去和现在时间、现实和幻想的经验主义插入，以及符号元素的使用，来审视创伤现实的解构和重建。在nachträglichkeit手术和重复强迫的支持下，创伤被记忆、重复和克服。

期刊介绍： Beginning in the final two decades of the 20th century, the study of gender and sexuality has been revived from a variety of directions: the traditions of feminist scholarship, postclassical and postmodern psychoanalytic theory, developmental research, and cultural studies have all contributed to renewed fascination with those powerfully formative aspects of subjectivity that fall within the rubric of "gender" and "sexuality." Clinicians, for their part, have returned to gender and sexuality with heightened sensitivity to the role of these constructs in the treatment situation, including the richly variegated ways in which assumptions about gender and sexuality enter into our understandings of "normality" and "pathology."
