BICH KHE'S POETICAL UNIVERSE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF JACQUES LACAN'S PSYCHOANALYSIS

Ngọc Lan Phạm

Main Article Content

Abstract

 

An experiment in applying Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytical theory to close reading of figurative languages in lyrical poetry, the article conducts an analysis of Bich Khe's symbolist poetical universe as a dual structure which corresponds to Lacanian psychosexual development. It is concluded that Bich Khe's unique structure of poetical figures  is organized by the interaction process between two different systems: a world of hallucinations (dominated by the Real) and a world of existence (dominated by the Imaginary and the Symbolic) with contrasting rules; hence Bích Khe's complex verbal combinations could be read as a result of mental therapy to psychological traumas caused by the subject's entry into Lacanian Symbolic Order.
