FOREWORD: Monograph The Sinister in Audiovisual Text

Main Article Content

Abstract

This monograph has its origin in the course taught by Jesús González Requena ‘Psychoanalytic Conceptualisation’ which, due to the exceptional health situation, was taught online last 2020, which is why I was able to enjoy and participate in it. The reference theme of the course was ‘The sinister’ and from it, the theme of the present monograph, ‘The sinister’.
monographic, ‘The sinister in the audiovisual text’. 
At the beginning of the 19th century, E.T.A. Hoffmann wrote what would become his most famous story, The Sandman, collected in his Night Tales (1817). A century later, Freud will take Hoffmann's tale as a case study for his theoretical elaboration of the sinister, which will be defined as a ‘terrifying feeling that goes back to the long familiar’ (1992: 220). His newborn theory of neurosis will play a fundamental role here in making the sinister a terrifying feeling produced by the return of the repressed; however, Freud leaves the door open in his analysis to the possibility of the sinister appearing beyond neurosis.
