Personal profile
Statement for HDR students
My PhD project investigates psychoanalytic concepts of death drive incorporated into comedy films. It does this by creating three 10-minute comedy films and developing an exegesis which explores psychoanalytic theories of the death drive and their relation to comedy films, including the three films made as part of the project. The aim and expected contribution of the project is to fill a gap in the study of the death drive in comedy films and to describe structural principles of comedy films that portray death and aggression based on the concept of the death drive.
