STUDIA UBB DRAMATICA, 2021

STUDIA UBB DRAMATICA, LXVI, 1, 2021, p. 217 – 232 Abstract: Mother – Son: Psychoanalytic Reflections in Joël Pommerat’s Play, This Child. This article proposes an analysis of the sixth scene of Joël Pommerat’s work, This Child, from the perspective of some theorems of psychoanalysis. The French writer introduces the reader/ viewer/ listener to a world of fast‐paced plot with the help of autonomous characteristic snapshots that make up his works. In the sixth scene, Pommerat negotiates the unhealthy relationship between a young mother and her underage son where compulsion, possessiveness and latent Oedipal references reign supreme. On the verge of a creeping threat, the mother exerts psychological violence on the young student whom she prevents from leaving for school and pressures her to keep close to home creating a suffocating circle, a space‐time that tends to assimilate people and things.

Dans les pas de l’enfant : la voix philosophique de Cavell (Veena Das)

This paper asks how the book, Little Did I Know (2010), which Stanley Cavell describes as a philosophical autobiography, is suffused by the voice of a child, a voice that constitutes the conditions for discovering what Cavell’s stakes are in doing philosophy. Indeed, the question of whether or not someone like him has a right to do philosophy touches on the question of how existence is to be reclaimed. Because his apprenticeship of a « mortal threat » to what such nearness to death might reveal, constitutes a departure in his writing: giving himself the permission to leave is somehow tied to the ability to find words that will somehow be the right words. Through the voice of the child, there is an interesting matter that concerns the learning to absorb inordinate knowledge, which is as well a matter of how the hurts and injustices accumulated in childhood are to be acknowledged in one’s adulthood. What are children’s tragedies ? And can one do philosophy from the female region of the self ? This paper aims at reading Cavell’s text as a text disclosing how is remembering and forgetting to be balanced in an autobiography that is making claims of doing philosophy through autobiography.
