Abstract (en)

Interprets Edvard Munch's famous painting, The Scream, the image of a scream not heard, using a psychoanalytic approach and the theories of Jacques Lacan. Discusses parallels with other anamorphotic distortions of reality, other "monsters," in films, literature, et al., including the elephant man and the phantom of the opera.
