The
Talking Cure
(sound installation )
Kristina Hagström-Ståhl
University of Gothenburg
The Talking Cure draws on the compositional form of the fugue, in which themes and figures are developed in a contrapuntal process of transposition and return, to reflect, critically and poetically, on the repetitive nature of loss as it is conceived in psychoanalytic terms.
Quotes and references from texts and works by Sigmund Freud, Maurice Blanchot, Sophie Calle, Cathy Caruth, Hélène Cixous, Khashayar Naderehvandi, and personal interviews.
