A estranheza íntima do não pertencer: um olhar para filmografia de Chantal Akerman atravessado pelo conceito de angústia na psicanálise

Abstract

In this present work, the objective was to investigate the experience of anguish in its different manifestations, seeking through psychoanalysis theory explanations based on a certain metapsychology in order to clarify the arising of that affection. An attempt was made to run through a land of void as a movement of desire. The discussion about anguish was understood in a first chapter through a conceptual review based on the theoretical-clinical contributions of Sigmund Freud and Donald Winnicott. In a second moment, for a better practical elucidation of this phenomenon, were used artistic elements that mobilize a field where the representation of the non-symbolic, of the emptiness of anguish, is possible. Cinema allows the spectator to insert himself into a kind of artificial neurosis by situating the image of the self based on the image of the other. Therefore, it was through the filmography of director Chantal Akerman, in her experimental style, that we came across the representation of nothingness through characters that belonged nowhere, that were expatriates, displaced, from any and every place. For that, four of the filmmaker's movies were analyzed, which the presence of an intimate strangeness crossed by a non-existence was observed, thinking about Winnicott's approach, crossed by unthinkable agonies.
