Abstract

Spirits will increasingly become a part of the future, as the future increasingly arms itself with telecommunication, Jacques Derrida says in the film GHOST DANCE (1983) by Ken McMullen. Translated to the contemporary situation, this entails that we ask which displacements, repressions, and/or omissions we might be able to observe if psychoanalytic theory disappears from its once central position in film and media studies. Are the concepts of psychoanalysis still in effect or are they finished? What does the critique of anthropocentrism mean for the position of the “unconscious subject?” How have understandings and concepts of sexuality and desire transformed if they are no longer conceived from the perspective of a normative dispositif of sexuality? Marie-Luise Angerer posed such questions to a number of authors either doing a form of media and film studies orientated around psychoanalysis or for whom reflections in media theory are important in psychoanalytic practice.
