From The Ambassadors to Eurydice: Aesthetical, Ethical and Political Implications of Two Models of Psychoanalytical Gaze Theory

Summary/Abstract: Taken from the theory of Jacques Lacan, the concept of the gaze was one of the central theoretical and analytical categories within the psychoanalytical approaches to study of visual culture and arts during the last half of century. This paper seeks to present basic aesthetic, ethical and political implications of use of the specific psychoanalytical theoretical framework within art theory and criticism, through mapping out main points of two psychoanalytic gaze theories: (post)structuralist psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan and the post-Lacanian gaze theory of Bracha Ettinger. The mentioned implications will be analyzed through examples of paintings that the theorist themselves use for explaining main assumptions of their theories: The Ambassadors of Hans Holbein the Younger and the Eurydice series by Bracha Ettinger.
