Summary
This study uses psychoanalytic theory to analyze the film "her," exploring its themes of relationships and emotional development. It reveals deeper meanings through cinematic techniques and psychological concepts.
Area of Science:
- Psychoanalytic Film Theory
- Psychology and the Arts
Background:
- Spike Jonze's "her" (2013) offers rich ground for psychoanalytic interpretation.
- Understanding meaning-making in film requires examining cinematic strategies and language.
Purpose of the Study:
- To expand meaning-making opportunities in "her" through a psychoanalytic lens.
- To explore object relations and negation within the film's narrative.
- To articulate unconscious material relevant to the film and broader culture.
Main Methods:
- Applied psychoanalytic criticism.
- Analysis of cinematic strategies and language.
- Application of object relations theory and Andre Green's concepts of negation.
Main Results:
- The psychoanalytic approach reveals deeper layers of meaning in "her."
- The film's protagonist experiences a significant developmental crisis.
- Cinematic elements and psychoanalytic concepts illuminate unconscious themes.
Conclusions:
- "her" provides a compelling case study for psychoanalytic film analysis.
- The film's exploration of relationships and consciousness resonates with psychoanalytic theories.
- A psychoanalytic reading enhances the appreciation of the film's psychological depth.

02:31In-situ Hybridization
In situ hybridization (ISH) is a technique used to detect and localize specific DNA or RNA molecules in cells, tissue, or tissue sections using a labeled probe. The technique was first used in 1969 for the investigation of nucleic acids. It is currently an essential tool in scientific research and clinical settings, especially for diagnostic purposes.
Types of probes and labels
A probe is a complementary strand of DNA or RNA that binds to corresponding nucleotide sequences in a cell. Many...

02:43Mouse Models of Cancer Study
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

01:29Positron Emission Tomography
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...

01:15Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (INEPT)
Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (INEPT) is an advanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technique specifically designed to detect and enhance the signals of low-abundance nuclei, such as carbon-13 and nitrogen-15, in small molecules. The fundamental principle behind INEPT is the transfer of polarization from a more abundant and highly polarizable nucleus, typically hydrogen-1, to the low-abundance nucleus of interest. This process effectively boosts the NMR signal of the...
