Abstract:

My presentation will engage object relations theory to explore the representation of inhibition in love and hate in Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant. I employ Christopher Bollas’s psychoanalytic writings to draw relationships between free association, objects, and the process of close reading, synthesizing their role in the way humans attach to one another.
