Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art examines a strain of artists
spanning more than a century, beginning at the dawn of photography and
culminating in the discussion of contemporary artists, to illustrate
various psychoanalytic concepts by examining artists working in a
multitude of media. Drawing on the theories of Sigmund Freud, who
applied psychoanalytic methods to art and literature to decipher the
meaning and intention of the creator, as well as Jacques Lacan’s
dissemination of scansion as a powerful disruption of narrative, the
book explores examples of the long and rich relationship between
psychoanalysis and the fine arts. Whilst guiding readers through the
different artists and their artforms – from painting and music to
poetry, collage, photography, film, performance art, technology and
body modification – Sinclair interrogates scansion as a generative
process often inherent of the act of creation itself. This is an
intriguing book for psychoanalysts, psychologists and creative arts
therapists who wish to explore the generative potential of scansion
and the relationship between psychoanalysis and the arts, as well as
for artists and art historians interested in a psychoanalytic view of
these processes.
