Get PDFPhotography and imagination
Get PDFThis article is written from the standpoint of a photographer. It does not offer a systematic approach to the relationship between photography and imagination, nor does it advance a specific thesis. The ontological identity of photography – its singular way of affirming a presence – serves as the point of departure: it is this fundamental trait that appears to determine imagination. Drawing on concrete cases, the text explores how this specificity can give rise to different imaginative acts: whether in the form of a sensory experience (tactile, olfactory, auditory); or in the reverie of wishing to cross into and inhabit the interior of a photograph; or in the attempt to fictionalize it; or, finally, in the mode of material imagination – the Bachelardian imagination. In a final, contrary movement, the photograph is considered inaccessible, blocking imagination – the image in which photography’s specificity seems no longer to have a place
DO YOU HAVE FAITH IN PSYCHOANALYSIS? Imagination as the key ingredient for the effectiveness of psychotherapy
Get PDFAccording to Isabelle Stengers, modern medicine has expelled hypnosis and suggestion in order to achieve scientificity. However, imagination is always present in treatments – especially those related to mental health – so it might be worthwhile to explain this phenomenon instead of reducing it or ruling it out. In this article, we shall explore how classic psychoanalysis has remained within this rationale and some alternatives to be found in contemporary authors. This requires a profound revision of the notions of factuality and fictionality that have determined the development of psychoanalysis, a discipline oscillating between scientific aspirations and literary sensitivities. Guided by the emphasis in ontology given by philosophers such as Michel Serres, Bruno Latour and Donna Haraway, we will provide a constructivist and prospective account of psychotherapy as a process in which imagination is not bounded to the human mind and as a refined practice that enables the patient to embrace her becoming. Thus, imagination can be reintroduced as the chief cornerstone for the parallel healing of the patient’s illness and psychoanalysis’ epistemological paradoxes
