Figures of Space

By Paola Mieli

- Default Title
Description
Literary Nonfiction. FIGURES OF SPACE explores the implications of Freud's assertion that the "psyche is extended," and gives a novel approach to the understanding of the subject's relation to the world. In Mieli's words, the subjective landscape is, given its origins, intrinsically libidinized. Topics range from humor, defined as the "making of space where there is none," to angst, phobia and the uncanny, from sexual difference to hatred. Diverse examples are drawn from art, literature and cinema, including the works of Poe, Melville, Pontormo, Marina Abramovich, Otto Wagner, Charlie Chaplin and Philippe Petit. Translated from the French by Jacques Houis.
