Cinema, Suffering and Psychoanalysis: The Mechanism of Self - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Laura Stephenson is Senior Lecturer in Film, in the School of Film & Television, University of Westminster, UK. In her role on the BA (Honours) Film degree she brings together the oft-divided worlds of screen theory and practice. Her research interests are driven by the notion that suffering is an integral aspect of the lived-experience, with much of her philosophical work exploring identity, trauma and the human condition through cinema and television texts. She aims to continue researching and publishing in the growing academic field of medical humanities.
