Abstract

Intersecting the works of Jacques Lacan, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, this essay analyzes the film Hiroshima mon amour (1959). Written by Marguerite Duras and directed by Alain Resnais, the influential film is the encounter between a French woman and a Japanese man in post-World War II Hiroshima. The narrative of a woman and a man meeting after the atomic bombs configures an opportunity to elaborate an original approach to French discussions concerning the relations between the unconscious and semiotics while conceptualizing important questions that cause both the convergence and the divergence of the disciplines of psychoanalysis and schizoanalysis. Several notions are studied in the essay, such as: the categories of the real, the imaginary, and the symbolic, as well as memory, desire, dream, agency, affects, and the war machine.
Keywords: Unconscious; Psychoanalysis; Schizoanalysis; Hiroshima mon amour; Desire.
