The Imaginal World and Modern Oblivion: Kiarostami's Zig-Zag
Key words: cinema, Lacanian psychoanalysis, image, icon, Abbas Kiarostami, Ibn 'Arabi, touch
This paper attempts to give an account of the imaginal world, a central concept of Avi-cenna and his philosophical followers in Iran in order to demonstrate the ways in which the imaginal continues to operate in the cinema of Abbas Kiarostami. As its name implies, the imaginal concerns the image, but more precisely the image insofar as it is conceived as participating in a political economy of the divine, or within an apparatus that relates the temporal, political order of men to the withdrawn instance of the divine. If the works of the falasifa were anathema to Islamic theology, this had everything to do with the retreat of the divine, which operated in the political order only insofar as it was absent. Kiarostami's film, Close Up, demonstrates the concept of the imaginary a contrario.

Imaginalni svet in sodobna pozaba: Kiarostamijev cik-cak
Ključne besede: film, lacanovska psihonaliza, podoba, ikona, Abbas Kiarostami, Ibn'Arabi, dotik
Prispevek predstavi imaginalni svet [imaginal world], osrednji Avicenov koncept kot tudi njegovih iranskih filozofskih privržencev, zato da bi prikazal načine, kako imaginalno še naprej deluje v filmih Abbasa Kiarostamija. Kot implicira že njegovo ime, imaginalno zadeva podobo, natančneje povedano, podobo, kolikor je dojeta kot udeležena v politični ekonomiji božanskega oziroma znotraj aparata, ki povezuje časovni, politični red ljudi z odmaknjeno instanco božanskega. Če so bila dela falasife anatema islamske teologije, je 327 bilo to v celoti povezano z umikom božanskega, ki je delovalo v političnem redu zgolj na način odsotnosti. Kiarostamijev film Close Up prikazuje koncept imaginalnega a contrario.
