Telephone and Psychoanalysis

The paper explores the implications of the introduction of telephone at the turn of the century and the impact it has made. It takes the cue from the famous anecdote in Proust's Rememberance of Things Past, when the narrator speaks for the first time with his grandmother by the telephone. Proust lucidly traces the 'ontological' gap opened by the intervention of the telephone and the way it cannot be cured.
