Recenzii
'First published in 2014, Psychoanalysis and Ethics in Documentary Film continues to be a key text for documentary studies and more widely for film studies, as well as media and cultural studies, through its sustained and wide-ranging study of the ethical in film practice. Drawing on the work of Butler, Lévinas, Badiou, Žižek, and Freud, but in particular the work of psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, Piotrowska explores her central concern of the ethical in documentary film practice, focussing on the interview as an emotional and ethical encounter between filmmaker and interviewee/participant. She develops philosophical and psychoanalytical analyses that are made vivid through her discussion of her own professional filmmaking experience and her examination of a wide range of other films, and now in this second edition, examining a number of new films. The revised book with new insights provides a highly compelling argument for film makers, and for all of those involved in representational practice, to attend to ethics in their work. Its analyses and arguments provide an engaging study that remains centrally relevant in exploring and redefining key debates, taking forward our understanding of film, subjectivity and research. The highly thoughtful and illuminating analyses will be of interest to film scholars, psychoanalysts and those working in the broader field of cultural studies.'
Elizabeth Cowie, Professor of Film Studies, University of Kent, UK
'It is the considerable contribution of Piotrowska to have understood just how much can be at stake for any filmmaker/subject encounter in the documentary field. After all, lives are being narrated, bodies represented, trust gained and confidences shared. In this fascinating volume, Piotrowska dares to suggest that this scenario and the depths of the soul and psyche it touches are not so far afield from that which obtains in the analytic setting: the unconscious desires define the encounter. Here she evokes the Lacanian construct – le sujet supposé savoir – the subject supposed to know… It is Piotrowska’s bold claim that such a love may also ensue between the filmmaker and her subject. In the most dramatic section of this book, Piotrowska in fact takes us through one such encounter via her film about a conman. A filmmaker’s production diary is transformed into a case study exploring the shared intimacies, emotional revelations and false promises of a love affair – or analysis – gone awry. Particularly given the role that disparities of age, gender and power play in this relationship (Piotrowska is the younger female who wields the camera), it is as though Dora and Freud are writing as collaborators who occasionally shift places on the couch. It is a dizzying display, juicy of course but also deeply insightful for what it has to tell us about the psychic dynamics potential to any documentary production… I leave you with Agnieszka Piotrowska’s radical and compelling account believing that it has introduced something new, important and no doubt controversial to the documentary studies arena.'
Michael Renov, Professor of Crtical Film Studies and the Vice Dean Academic Affairs at the University of Southern California, USA
Transference-love and documentary film - how can they be thought of together? The conjunction of the two stands at the core of ethical pursuit, theoretical reflection and engaged practice that Agnieszka Piotrowska draws for us in this outstanding, lucid and inspiring book.’
Mladen Dolar, Professor of Philosophy, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
‘This passionate book offers a radical new understanding of the relationship between documentary filmmakers and their ‘subjects’ – the people who participate in their films. Drawing on her own background as a filmmaker alongside a deep immersion in the literature on psychoanalysis and film, Agnieszka Piotrowska shows how complicated and intense the involvement of filmmakers with their subjects can be. The book announces a remarkable and distinctive interdisciplinary perspective that uses psychoanalysis, philosophy, social theory and film studies to explore the intense underside of the documentary experience.’n
Stephen Frosh, Professor of Psychology, Birkbeck College, University of London
‘Sign your rights away forever and appear in my documentary film for free! In this meticulously researched and wide-ranging exploration of the intimate relationship between subject and filmmaker, encompassing psychoanalysis, ideology and ethics, Agnieszka Piotrowska controversially suggests that the subject may fall into reciprocated love with the filmmaker through transference. Piotrowska's work is a fascinating, important and thought-provoking addition to documentary film theory.’
