Brunelleschi Lacan Le Corbusier: the architecture of the self

描述：《布鲁内莱斯基·勒·柯布西耶·拉坎：自我的架构》将是一本书长的专著，与Routledge签订了2008年出版的合同。它认为透视是空间意识的典范形式。这就解释了为什么透视仍然是一种令人满意的表现形式--我们倾向于称之为真实的空间形式--以及为什么它仍然是建筑空间的主要视觉形式，尽管最近的表现实验声称挑战了这一经典。争论始于这样一种观察，即精神分析学家雅克·拉康在他所称的视野中发表的精神分析主体的结构图(巴黎，1964)与布鲁内莱斯基的透视演示图(佛罗伦萨，1420)相似。20世纪结构主义关于知觉主题的话语与我们所知的关于空间发明的古典历史叙述之间的这种联系，到目前为止还没有在这两种话语的文学中详细阐述过，更不用说注意到了。在演示中，布鲁内莱斯基观看了一个神圣的物体，佛罗伦萨浸礼会；这种观看行为涉及到一种特殊的镜框和他的镜子设备的筛选。本文解释了心灵的内部世界和空间的外部世界之间的相似性，提出了对布鲁内莱斯基的论证的精神分析解释，而不是标准的、有严重缺陷的历史学重建(怀特、贡布里奇、克劳西默、埃杰顿、帕诺夫斯基)；反过来，它使用空间的建筑话语来阐述拉卡恩和弗洛伊德对感知主题的关键描述。它还提出了一种新的方法来处理现代主义的一个令人头疼的问题：现代主义与其过去的关系。背景：使用精神分析理论作为对建筑和感知问题的解释方法是跨学科研究的一个活跃和发展中的领域。我的工作参考并扩展了托尼·维德勒、比阿特丽斯·科伦纳、休伯特·达米施、史蒂文·皮尔等人的先前研究。目的和目标：这一跨学科研究项目的目标是完成一部10万字的专著，目的是修正我们对建筑空间和心灵的空间性的理解。它的目的是在精神分析理论中与空间有关的关键方面(梦、动力、身份和欲望)与空间建筑话语的关键方面之间建立强有力的概念联系，特别是透视的发明。这一论点已经被制定出来，并正在以书面形式充分发展的过程中，是基于对建筑学和精神分析理论关键文本的仔细分析阅读。应用和好处：这项研究批判了透视发明的历史描述--空间建筑话语中的基础时刻--并以与今天相关的方式重新解释了它。它将在这一跨学科领域开辟研究问题的新领域。它将使我们对我们与建筑空间和物体的关系有一个新的理解，这将使建筑设计师和理论家受益；它将引起心理分析学家的兴趣，他们的工作如何影响他们自己的领域。这项研究将通过出版一本专著来传播，该专著有望对建筑理论做出重大贡献。这项研究的材料还将通过几份计划中的“卫星”期刊论文进行传播。

Description: 'BRUNELLESCHI LE CORBUSIER LACAN: the architecture of the self' will be a book length monograph, under firm contract for publication with Routledge in 2008. It argues that perspective is the paradigmatic form of spatial consciousness. This explains why perspective remains such a satisfying representational form - the form of space that we tend to call real - and why it remains the primary visual form of architectural space, despite recent experiments in representation that claim to challenge this canon. The argument begins with the observation that the diagram that the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan publishes of the structure of the psychoanalytic subject in what he calls the visual field (Paris, 1964) is similar to the diagram that could be drawn of Brunelleschi's demonstration of perspective (Florence, 1420). This link between the 20th Century structuralist discourse of the subject of perception and the classical historical account of the invention of space as we know it, has not hitherto been elaborated, let alone noticed, in the literature of either discourse. In the demonstration, Brunelleschi viewed a hallowed object, the Florence Baptistery; and this act of viewing involved a specific kind of framing and screening by his mirror apparatus. The text explains the similarity between the inner world of the psyche and the outer world of space, by proposing a psychoanalytic interpretation of Brunelleschi's demonstration, as opposed to the standard - and it is argued, deeply flawed - historiographic reconstructions (White, Gombrich, Krautheimer, Edgerton, Panofsky); in turn, it uses the architectural discourse of space to elaborate the key Lacanian and Freudian accounts of the subject of perception. It also proposes a new way to approach a problem that is one of the bugbears of modernism: modernism's relation to its past. Context: The use of psychoanalytic theory as an interpretive approach to problems of architecture and perception is an active and developing area of interdisciplinary research. My work references and extends prior research by, e.g., Tony Vidler, Beatriz Colomina, Hubert Damisch, Steven Pile. It will be a major contribution to this field.Aims and objectives: The object of this interdisciplinary research project is to complete a 100,000 word monograph, the aim of which is to revise our understanding of architectural space and the spatiality of the psyche. It aims to draw strong conceptual links between key aspects of psychoanalytic theory that relate to space (dreams, drive, identity, and desire), and key aspects of the architectural discourse of space, in particular, the invention of perspective. The argument, which has been mapped out and is in the process of being fully developed in written form, is based on the close analytic reading of key texts in architecture and psychoanalytic theory. Applications and benefits: This research critiques the historical account of the invention of perspective - the foundational moment in the architectural discourse of space - and reinterprets it in ways relevant for today. It will open up new areas of research questions in this inter-disciplinary field. It will lead to a new understanding of our relation to architectural space and objects that will benefit designers and theorists of architecture; it will be of interest to psychoanalysts interested in how their work has bearing on fields outside their own. This research will be disseminated by publication of a monograph that promises to be a significant contribution to architectural theory. Material from this research will also be disseminated by several planned 'satellite' journal papers.
