New Time –Film Series: Blue Velvet presented by Webb Haymaker, LCSW-BACS

Presents 2019-2020 Film Series: The Other in Film 10am – 1pm

In the language of psychoanalysis, the Other is a name for the unconscious, that domain of human subjectivity ruled by phantasms that haunt us. It has been the project of psychoanalysis to articulate how these phantasms get displaced into the dynamics of interpersonal relationships as a defensive strategy for resisting the truth about who authors them. The films in this series explore the psychological costs of denying the Other inside each of us, while considering the subjective and social possibilities that are opened by embracing Otherness, as seen in the ways the language of film pushes against the limits of established discourse—social, political, and psychoanalytical.

Learning Objectives:
• Demonstrate an understanding of certain psychoanalytic conceptualizations of subjectivity;
• Apply their listening and interpretation skills to analyze unconscious content; and
• Discuss how the language of film reflects subjective experience
