Silverman (1989), in an essay entitled "Fassbinder and Lacan: A reconsideration of gaze, look, and image," charts the theoretical basis for some of the major concepts of feminist film criticism.
Silverman describes the role of the female position of objectivity that lies at the center of the symbolic order in order to set the perimeters of her argument.
Yet, according to Silverman (1989), it is important to understand the differences between the "gaze" and the "look" according to the psychoanalytic tradition and the position of subjectivity in the symbolic realm.

Silverman's filing cabinet, in a vacated room, and after her summer departure, I read her boast that now that she had 'got rid of Eliot-Hurst', "Razutis is next".
Kaja's penchant for pointing out to me that there 'was no such thing as truth', or that I should read Machiavelli's "The Prince" (as I understood from her, a basic requirement in Northeastern faculty libraries), was mistakenly ignored by me since our 'falling out' over Opsis.
Silverman is at UC Berkeley, appropriately at the department of 'cinema rhetoric' with Linda Williams, another feminist who made her name rehashing Freud and Lacan.

 Guardian lit. | Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Silverman centers her book on an advocation and a theoretical elaboration of what Lacan calls "the active gift of love"; what is most refreshing is that she makes no secret of the daunting "ethical-political project" that her book propounds.
In fact, Silverman is hesitant to ascribe any agency to the look of idealization or to the one who does or does not confer ideality on his or her object.
Silverman also suggests that film is the best medium for reconstituting the look as productive -- for engaging in identity-at-a-distance -- because of its inherent taking of the subject out of him- or herself.

First, Silverman's style of exposition is exceedingly clear and provides numerous examples from literature and film to support her claims and aid the reader in discerning how structuralist principles can be applied.
For instance, in reference to Plato's myth of the three sexes, Silverman writes, "One of these assumptions [that Lacan shares with Plato] is that the human subject derives from an original whole which was divided in half, and taht its existence is dominated by the desire to recover its missing compliment.
Silverman's text is careful and thorough, yet it is important to read the materials with which she is working and not rely on her analyses as completely authorative.

 Sutton on Silverman and Farocki
Silverman and Farocki meditate upon a number of Godard films (eight in total), voicing their thoughts in relation to recurring themes and to specific shots, which they subject to detailed and close reading.
Perhaps, Silverman and Farocki's project was to point to precisely this impossibility; perhaps it was their intention to demonstrate the difficulties inherent in such a project, the futility of attempting to re-write or re-narrate Godard critically, in a series of eight dialogues.

Silverman again brings in Althusser (or a famous Althusserian term), relating it to secondary identification: interpellation.
How is interpellation relevant to the moi and the je?, to primary and secondary identification?) Using Jane Gallop’s argument as a jumping off point, Silverman argues, within the context of ideology and interpellation, that secondary identification occurs before primary identification; that primary identification is retroactively constructed at the time of secondary identification.
Silverman uses the term real, but uses it incorrectly (at least from a Lacanian standpoint).

With Speaking about Godard, leading film theorist Kaja Silverman and filmmaker Harun Farocki have made one of the most significant contributions to film studies in recent memory: a lively set of conversations about Godard and his major films, from Contempt to Passion.
Indeed, the dialogic format here serves as the perfect means of capturing the rhythm of Godard's ongoing conversation with his own medium, in addition to shedding light on how a critic and a director of films respectively interpret his work.

It is to the lowly forms of television and video that Godard turns again and again, much to the vexation of the cinèaste, in order to exceed the confines of his gilded position in the canon of cinematic genius.
Kaja Silverman will be presenting new research on Godard's filmic self-portrait, JLG/JLG, as well as discussing Speaking About Godard, perhaps the most subtle book about Godard's films, consisting of a series of conversations between Silverman and Harun Farocki, one of the most outspokenly political filmmakers of our time.

Her motivation for this description is to generate a narrative, through the demonstration of historical evidence, for a masculinity whose "encounter with the death drive might become in time more of an everyday occurrence—that the typical male subject, like his female counterpart, might learn to live with lack" (65).
I applaud Silverman’s motivations, but the scope of her claims is at times problematically narrow.
Silverman looks to WWII narratives in which trauma prohibits male subjects from realizing a relationship with the phallus because she is searching for a male subjectivity whose relationship to lack is more consistent.

 World Spectators - Kaja Silverman
Kaja Silverman is Class of 1940 Professor of Rhetoric and Film at the University of California, Berkeley.
Combining phenomenology and psychoanalysis in highly innovative ways, this book seeks to undo the binary opposition between appearance and Being that has been in place since Plato’s parable of the cave.
Drawing on Heidegger’s phenomenological elaboration of care as the being distinctive of human being and the primarily Lacanian conceptualization of the language of desire specific to each human subject, this metapsychology of love attempts to integrate issues in the fields of psychoanalysis, philosophy, visual culture, art history, and literary and film studies.

 Male Subjectivity at the Margins
In her book, Kaja Silverman sets out to offer a bold new look at some masculinities which deviate from the social norm.
Silverman writes about male masochism, homosexuality, exhibitionism from a sympathetic point of view, arguing that these so-called "perversions" can be better understood from a political perspective rather than a moral one.
Silverman pursues her argument through a range of literary and cinematic texts, including Wiliam Wyler's "The Best Years of Our Lives", the films of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the novels of Henry James, T.E. Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom", and Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past".

Using a psychoanalytic framework, Silverman described how Ahtila's sophisticated multiscreen narratives examine rage, psychosis, and disillusionment, and hint at the larger meanings of individual alienation.

The semic code, Silverman says, represents the major device for thematizing persons, objects or places”(Silverman 251).
Thus, cultural codes enable the information in authoritative texts of a specified symbolic order to be re-circulated into other texts and media which perpetuate that order.
Like binary oppositions, Silverman’s “mutually reinforcing antitheses,” help yield absolutes; everything is reduced to a game of either/or, positive/negative, good/evil.
