Abstract Details

2010, Master of Arts, Miami University, French.
This paper examines two works by the author Marguerite Duras in an effort to determine the relationship between genre and for and the protagonists’ experience of traumatic and melancholic memory. The psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan as well as Jacques Derrida’s discussion of writing and context are used to explore how the form of a work, especially the use of images and sound in film, affect the relationship of a character (and thus, a person) to the language they use to recount a traumatic event and through that language to the event itself and their ability to work through it.
