  • The Impossible Object of Love: Shakespeare, Billy Wilder and Freud
    PROBLEMIThe INTERNATIONAL, Impossible Object ofvol. Love: 1 no. Shakespeare, 1, 2017 © Society Billy for Wilder Theoretical and Freud Psychoanalysis The Impossible Object of Love: Shakespeare, Billy Wilder and Freud Gregor Moder After killing the old, inept Polonius, the young prince hides the dead body somewhere inside the Elsinore palace. This is a great nuisance to King Claudius, who dispatches his two henchmen, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, to retrieve the body of the late Lord Chamberlain. Upon being asked where the body was, prince Hamlet delivers a rather cryptic line: “The body is with the King, but the King is not with the body” (Hamlet, 4.2.26–27). It is a very well known line, but it is hard to say what exactly to make of it. It seems to be a reference to King Claudius himself more than it is a reference to Polonius. It seems to hint at the doctrine of King’s two bodies, the political theological notion of the separation of the King’s mortal natural body and the King’s immortal political body. Hamlet clearly doesn’t think much of Claudius as he continues: “The King is a thing […] of nothing” (Hamlet, 4.2.27–29). While there are many interpretations of these words readily available, we shall turn to one in particular, to Jacques Lacan’s, because it will lead us to a series of comic examples whose func- tioning is at the core of this essay. In Seminar VI on Desire and its Interpretation, Lacan quotes Hamlet’s words and presents a perhaps surprisingly simple explanation: “I would ask you simply to replace the word king by the word phallus in order to see that it precisely is what is in question, namely that the body is engaged in this affair of the phallus, and how, but that on the contrary, the phallus, itself, is not engaged in anything, and that it always slips between your fingers” (Lacan 2002, p.

  • CITIZEN KANE by Herman J. Mankiewicz & Orson Welles PROLOGUE FADE IN
    CITIZEN KANE by Herman J. Mankiewicz & Orson Welles PROLOGUE FADE IN: EXT. XANADU - FAINT DAWN - 1940 (MINIATURE) Window, very small in the distance, illuminated. All around this is an almost totally black screen. Now, as the camera moves slowly towards the window which is almost a postage stamp in the frame, other forms appear; barbed wire, cyclone fencing, and now, looming up against an early morning sky, enormous iron grille work. Camera travels up what is now shown to be a gateway of gigantic proportions and holds on the top of it - a huge initial "K" showing darker and darker against the dawn sky. Through this and beyond we see the fairy-tale mountaintop of Xanadu, the great castle a sillhouette as its summit, the little window a distant accent in the darkness. DISSOLVE: (A SERIES OF SET-UPS, EACH CLOSER TO THE GREAT WINDOW, ALL TELLING SOMETHING OF:) The literally incredible domain of CHARLES FOSTER KANE. Its right flank resting for nearly forty miles on the Gulf Coast, it truly extends in all directions farther than the eye can see. Designed by nature to be almost completely bare and flat - it was, as will develop, practically all marshland when Kane acquired and changed its face - it is now pleasantly uneven, with its fair share of rolling hills and one very good-sized mountain, all man-made. Almost all the land is improved, either through cultivation for farming purposes of through careful landscaping, in the shape of parks and lakes. The castle dominates itself, an enormous pile, compounded of several genuine castles, of European origin, of varying architecture - dominates the scene, from the very peak of the mountain.

  • Desire, Narcissism and Crisis in Citizen Kane Saiyeed
    Desire, Narcissism and Crisis in Citizen Kane Saiyeed Shahjada Al Kareem [Abstract: This is a critical review of the cinema Citizen Kane (1941) directed by Orson Welles. The review seeks to understand the inner psychic drivers which lead human throughout the life, through the case of Charles Foster Kane and argues that the most primitive desire developed Kane's character in a narcissistic way which led him to fall in different types of crises. The review employs psychoanalysis as an approach to establish the argument.] Key Words: desire, narcissism, crisis, ego, psyche, citizen kane “Love, that's why he did everything.” _ Leyland “But he never believed in anything except Charlie Kane.” _ Leyland “He was a man who got everything he wanted and then lost it.” _ Thompson A desire, a strong feeling to have something, which can lead one throughout the life, albeit he or she may not be satisfied meeting with the desired object because may be one himself or herself does not really know consciously what the ultimate desired object is. In some cases, this strong feeling may convert into narcissism which is somewhat self-centeredness, a lack of empathy, a need for admiration and this can lead one to different types of crises. Citizen Kane (1941) of Orson Welles is still a matter of debate to the film scholars with its confusing messages about the life and views of the great newspaper lord portrayed in the cinema. From Previous Literatures: There are two leading interpretations of the film Citizen Kane (1941) where one is enigma interpretation and another is Rosebud interpretation which Carroll1 thinks incongruous.

DESCRIPTORS Classroom Techniques; *Critical Viewing; *English Instruction; *Film Study; *Films; High Schools; Instructional Effectiveness; Language Arts; *Reading Strategies; Units of Study IDENTIFIERS *Film Viewing; *Textual Analysis ABSTRACT To believe that students are not using reading and analytical skills when they watch or "read" a movie is to miss the power and complexities of film--and of students' viewing processes. This book encourages teachers to harness students' interest in film to help them engage critically with a range of media, including visual and printed texts. Toward this end, the book provides a practical guide to enabling teachers to ,feel comfortable and confident about using film in new and different ways. It addresses film as a compelling medium in itself by using examples from more than 30 films to explain key terminology and cinematic effects. And it then makes direct links between film and literary study by addressing "reading strategies" (e.g., predicting, responding, questioning, and storyboarding) and key aspects of "textual analysis" (e.g., characterization, point of view, irony, and connections between directorial and authorial choices) .The book concludes with classroom-tested suggestions for putting it all together in teaching units on 11 films ranging from "Elizabeth" to "Crooklyn" to "Smoke Signals." Some other films examined are "E.T.," "Life Is Beautiful," "Rocky," "The Lion King," and "Frankenstein." (Contains 35 figures.
