Kim, Kyung Soon. “The Memory of the Subject and the Real Gaze: Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 37.2 (2011): 1-18. This study is Lacanian psychoanalysis in its theoretical emphases, concentrating on debates emanating from the works of Freud, Lacan, and their reader, Žižek. Focus of my study is on the idea that ‘the memory of the subject is associated with a forgetting of something that was never conscious’(Lacan, Seminar III 155). Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s reference to a past that has never been present in The Phenomenology of Perception might be said to challenge our conventional notion of memory as a past perception, and so also to complicate our understanding of what is at stake in representing the past as an object of experience. Lacan also stresses that memory involves the subject reconstructing his past(SeminarⅠ 13), instead of involving reliving past experience and feeling once again the emotions associated with that experience. In The Turn of the Screw, memory, the reconstruction of the past is closely related to the real gaze, an object of desire(‘object a’), and the real gaze articulates its inherent desire in the effect of the ghost. The ghosts exert a strange fascination on the governess. Just as Ideological State Apparatus and ritual materialize the ideology, ‘object a’ which cannot be symbolized materializes the real desire. The Turn of the Screw may serve to elucidate Lacan’s concept of ‘object a’: the point marking the dimension of what is in the subject, that is, hiding subject. This concept reminds us of the imperfect fit between language and being. In conclusion, ‘object a’ as a para-being is a manifestation of the moment at which the real desire overflows into reality, as in the governess. (Yeungnam University)

This study is Lacanian psychoanalysis in its theoretical emphases, concentrating on debates emanating from the works of Freud, Lacan, and their reader, Žižek. Focus of my study is on the idea that ‘the memory of the subject is associated with a forgetting of something that was never conscious’(Lacan, Seminar III 155). Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s reference to a past that has never been present in The Phenomenology of Perception might be said to challenge our conventional notion of memory as a past perception, and so also to complicate our understanding of what is at stake in representing the past as an object of experience.
