Summary

INTRODUCCIÓN1

La presente lectura cultural de Psicosis encuentra su origen en un estudio anterior sobre una narrativa femenina, «El drama pasional de la mujer investigadora. El significante cultural mediante el cual se dramatiza, y significa, el asunto de la identidad en los universos de ficción (Antón 2013) adquiere un relieve especial en la doble personalidad de Norman, y conforma la perspectiva Crane, constituida por la acción de las dos hermanas de Phoenix, Marion y Lila, que detentan el protagonismo en tramos relevantes de la temporalidad del relato, en las secuencias clímax de su primera y segunda parte, un desdoblamiento femenino que se evidencia, aún más, en la novela (Bloch 1959). La hipótesis principal que se maneja para responder a la cuestión que abre esta doble perspectiva Crane es que, en este discurso emblemático de una narrativa en crisis, la estrategia simbólica del desdoblamiento dramatiza de forma excesiva, a la manera moderna, una crisis de la idea de la feminidad, que se escenifica como un tortuoso trayecto. La actitud investigadora de Lila le permitirá retomar la perspectiva de su hermana para internarse en la casa gótica donde logrará ver, conocer, sin perder la vida, el gran misterio en torno al que se construye la estrategia de suspense del film: el rostro, la identidad, de la señora Bates
