"A commonly encountered experience of both analyst and analysand is that of the void. It is spoken about at different stages of therapy and refers to experiences that have different origins. Sometimes the experience of the void is around a relatively limited aspect of the psyche but at other times the void seems much more global and threatens to engulf the entire personality; the whole individual psyche then seems threatened by the possibility of dissolution into nothingness. The void experience may result from the early failure of external objects to meet the needs of the developing ego, which leads to the sorts of primitive terrors that Winnicott described, or it may result when the Self itself seems threatened with annihilation, which may be more to do with a rupturing of the ego-Self axis. In the first case the fear is of disintegration, whereas in the second the experience is one of the living dead, as though the individual is cut off from her life source. But more than that, the intrusion of the void into the conscious experience of so many of us implies that its occurrence is not only the result of severe trauma but also a necessary aspect of the individuation process. Drawing on the writings of Jung and post-Jungians, and Psychoanalytic thinkers such as Bion, Winnicott and Bick, as well as on poetry, mythology and art, and illustrating these ideas with dreams and other material drawn from his practice, the author here attempts to illuminate some of the compartments of that immense space."--Provided by publisher.

"The concept of nothing has been an enduring concern of the 20th century. As Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre each positioned nothing as inseparable from the human condition, essential to the creation or operation of human existence,as Jacques Derrida demonstrated how all structures are built upon a nothing within the structure, and as mathematicians argued that zero - the number that is also not a number - allows for the creation of our modern mathematical system, Narrative of Nothing in 20th-Century Literature suggests that nothing itself enables the act of narration. Focusing on the literary works of Vladimir Nabokov, Samuel Beckett, and Victor Pelevin, Meghan Vicks traces how and why these writers give narrative form to nothing, demonstrating that nothing is essential to the creation of narrative-how our perceptions are conditioned, how we make meaning (or madness) out of the stuff of our existence, how we craft our knowable selves, or how we exist in language"-- "Explores how 20th-century literature gives narrative form to nothing and why nothing is essential to the creation of being, narrative, and other systems of meaning-making"--

Mallarmé, Bernanos, Jabès. L'athée, le chrétien, le juif. Trois écrivains qu'apparemment tout sépare. Mais la question du livre, si importante chez Mallarmé, réapparaît chez Jabès ; la question de Dieu et du néant, déjà présente chez Mallarmé, devient fondamentale chez Bernanos et Jabès. La question du rapport à l'histoire, dont on perçoit le souci dans certains textes de Mallarmé, trouve dans les œuvres de Bernanos et Jabès un déploiement dramatique. Le livre, Dieu, l'histoire. A travers les thèmes essentiels de leur œuvre, Mallarmé, Bernanos et Jabès sont les témoins privilégiés de la crise de sens et de l'effacement de la transcendance dans la pensée et la vie de l'homme contemporain. Mort de Dieu et de l'Idéal chez Mallarmé, déréliction et tentation du désespoir chez Bernanos, sentiment de l'absence de Dieu chez Jabès. A cette crise de sens, les écrivains répondent dans leur œuvre par une tentative audacieuse et prophétique de reconquête du sens
