The Jacket. El deseo como retorno

Resumen

El filme The Jacket de John Maybury aborda problemáticas formales, éticas, ideológicas, etcétera, que, combinadas con su estructura narrativa, permiten pensar la complejidad del concepto de deseo planteado por Lacan. El deseo se presenta como algo que no obedece al bienestar o a la lógica, algo sumamente contradictorio que, sin embargo, insiste.

The Jacket. Desire as a return

Abstract

John Maybury’s film “The jacket” deals with formal, ethical and ideological topics, which combined with it’s narrative structure, allow us to think about the complexity of Lacan’s idea of desire. Desire appears to be something that does not obey well-being or logic, something highly contradictory that, however insist.
