The Heretical Archive: Digital Memory at the End of Film
Connecting psychoanalysis, phenomenology, and feminist theory in innovative ways, Torlasco analyzes cutting-edge digital works that engage with the past of European cinema and visual culture, including video installations by Monica Bonvicini (Destroy She Said) and Pierre Huyghe (The Ellipsis), Agnès Varda's film The Gleaners and I, Marco Poloni's multimedia installation The Desert Room, and Chris Marker's CD-ROM Immemory. Torlasco's central claim is that if the archives of psychoanalysis and cinema have long privileged the lineage that runs from Oedipus to Freud, the archives of the digital age--what she calls the "heretical archive"--can help us imagine an unruly, porous, multifaceted legacy, one in which marginal figures return to speak of lost life as much as of life that demands to be lived. |
