Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay draws upon Laplanche’s intersubjective theory of the origins of the unconscious and extends his concept of the traumatic impact of enigmatic messages upon the infant to the social surround. The author considers the Polish horror film Demon as dramatizing the transmission of societal enigmas and the destructive impact of a country’s failure to remember or integrate past injustices and crimes. The possibility of societal mourning and recovery of memory is conceived of in terms of Laplanche’s formulations of inspiration and the translation of après coup evocations.

群体性创伤与文化失忆：一个社会不可译过度的个案研究

摘要本文借鉴了拉普兰切关于无意识起源的主体间性理论，并将他关于神秘信息对婴儿的创伤影响的概念扩展到了社会环境中。作者认为波兰恐怖电影《恶魔》将社会谜团的传播以及一个国家未能记住或整合过去的不公正和犯罪所带来的破坏性影响戏剧化。社会哀悼和恢复记忆的可能性是根据拉普兰切的灵感公式和对政变回忆的翻译来考虑的。

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."
