Cinematic interpretation of psychoanalysis: to the difference between black-and-white and colour cinema

Abstract

Proposed by V.V. Bibikhin comparative analysis of the poetics of On the Nature by Parmenides with early cinematography combines cinematography symbolism and avant-garde understanding, representing a kind of a laconic number of theoretical views on the causes of developing the expanded plot out of the story line or hidden plot. Cinema poetics here phenomenologically reflects the birth of literary fiction. These conceptions turn out to be combined by the Freudian concept of affect overcoming, that is incidental in traditional Freudianism, but fundamental for understanding the expressive gestures of early cinematography and principles of the plot creation. Parallels with other cinema avant-garde concepts allow to clarify how symbolization of the gesture, colour composition and cinematography minimum technical support could be conceived in perception raised on literature. Bibikhin сinema analytics specifies understanding of screen sensibility and colour in the literature and psychoanalysis symbolism tradition.
