Overflow the continent
Problematizations of psychoanalytic knowledge through Japanese cinema

This book invites reflection on ways to appropriate knowledge that, for over a hundred years, has been constructed heterogeneously, influencing our understanding of subjectivity and giving rise to grand theoretical frameworks with the potential to support and exclude what falls outside conventional discourse. It seeks, therefore, to return to the primary germ of psychoanalysis, the one that challenges normative convention and proposes —from a childish gesture— to re-explore, transform, utilize, and create one's own proposal, a particular reading, that transcends the limits of the theoretical object from which it is born and the territory where it is inserted, making use of a discipline external to psychoanalysis and elaborated with elements from the other side of the world —as is Japanese cinema— to think about certain phenomena that affect us as cultural subjects.
