From Sophocles to Salvador Dalí and Marguerite Duras, including Leonardo da Vinci, Francesca Woodman and Cindy Sherman, this course investigates the complex relationship between Art and Psychoanalysis, exploring texts and concepts that have marked both fields to this day.
Based on Freud's writings, we will analyze how he did not limit himself to using art as an illustration of his clinical discoveries, but took artists and their works as fundamental interlocutors — a point also highlighted by Jacques Lacan.
Lacan, in turn, proposes that interpretation in psychoanalysis should function like a ready-made by Marcel Duchamp, avoiding reinforcing the symptom through meaning and shifting interpretation to the limits of language and representation — that which, in psychoanalysis, is called the real, the impossible to symbolize.
Neither Freud nor Lacan sought to formulate a psychoanalytic aesthetic. What interests them is the knowledge specific to each artist — a knowledge that he does not necessarily recognize, but which manifests itself in creation.
