Summary/Abstract: The article aims to address the dynamically changing western gaze on the orientalscenery of Casablanca analysed from the perspective of psychoanalytical theory.Crucial to the analysis is the psychoanalytical interpretation of visual culture whosetime-space transformations coincide on the border of cultures. The interpretationis particularly focused on the interpersonal relationship between the characters andspace-time flashbacks by the symptomatic reading of elements of narrative derivedfrom textual analysis of storytelling. The psychoanalytical framework puts anemphasis on the interpretation of the places where the film’s events occurred interms of a phantasmatic scene.
