The Psychic Violence of Alfred Hitchcock: Cutting in Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds 30-minute presentation by Dr. Todd McGowan This talk will look at Hitchcock’s three late masterpieces—Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds—in terms of how they implicate the spectator in the violence that they depict. Through an inventive use of editing, Hitchcock places the spectator in the position of the figure of violence and forces spectators to reckon with their own psychic investment in this violence. Roman Polanski's Apartment Trilogy: Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby and The Tenant 30-minute presentation by Mary Wild (@psycstar). In Repulsion (1965), Rosemary's Baby (1968), and The Tenant (1976), Roman Polanski portrays fragmented psyches in claustrophobic spaces. What we encounter is an iconic triptych of psychological horror, with fear objects shifting from sexual intercourse, to pregnancy, and the blurring of gender identities. This talk will focus on psychoanalytically interpreting Polanski's genre-defining 'apartment trilogy', unpacking the uncanny dimension of the home, and showing its influence on Darren Aronofsky's modern classic Black Swan (2010). The Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult series of events, curated by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair (@rawsin_) and @carl.abrahamsson, is dedicated to exploring the intersections and integration of psychoanalytic theory, the creative arts, occult practices, and folk magic traditions. #morbidanatomy #morbidacademy #alfredhitcock #hitchcock #romanpolanksi #polanski #psychoanalysis #film https://www.instagram.com/p/CZB_n5DhBhy/?utm_medium=tumblr
