How shrivel thieves? by Monique Amirault
Snowy, a boy of my surroundings, is an avid reader. There is appeasement which agitates and looks forward to the release of each album in a series entitled "How to shrink ...." 1. He knows them in detail, explores carefully the pictures.
Milou 5 years. He knows that the author of this series is a close friend and he called me one day in the emergency begging me to ask my friend if she would write a new album, entitled How shrivel thieves. Indeed, he had a nightmare last night: a thief break into his room. I convey his request and the writer, who is an excellent idea, knowing how this theme is common in children's fears, liaises with Snowy: she will write and propose to the editor this new album. Does he have to give him ideas on this?
Yes, of course, Snowy is no shortage of ideas, and her mother is paying to play, forward. The author is inspired; How shrivel thieves takes shape and is available from the publisher. Refusal. It is a theme of bad taste in the contemporary world where there is fear of child abduction. Politically incorrect. It is fashionable to be afraid of spiders, witches, vampires, ghosts, pirates and dinosaurs, but not thieves.
Deception of the child, who wants to indulge one of the ideas he had to shrink the robbers fill his big belly piggy false chocolate coins, so the thief will be fooled, manga, and have a stomach ache if he will not return.
must say that Disquiet Snowy has increased since the recent pregnancy of her mother and the arrival of a baby brother. Classical although jealousy is said and it reassures Snowy, he knows although it still loves. But as early Piggle, the child treated by Winnicott, the consolations do not calm the child, anger is growing.
Yet, everything has been done so it does not feel excluded. Snowy has been associated closely with the progression pregnancy. The ear on the belly of his mother, he could hear the mysterious signs of life that his parents have called and he was involved in handling the baby in the womb. Snowy is a beloved child. He says, he speaks.
But it is not enough to talk to children, yet do we mean what they say.
off the cuff, Snowy told me one day: "You know me, later I would like to PACS. Ever new surprise of the word child.
- Why? - "Because I want to have children." What, his sister, 3 years his senior, added: "I have children but I'll get them into care."
The impossible to symbolize the desire that governs the birth of a speaking being, proximity to noxious enjoyment housed in the belly of the mother and the real game, the difficulty of extracting them where good intentions of parents in contemporary fold the contrary, lead the child to invent his symptomatic response, costly to conceal this reality.
the belly of the piggy bank the mystery of the womb, being circulated which is nothing other than the child himself delivered to the voracity of the enjoyment of the Other.
But the contemporary master who does not want the singularities of the unconscious struggle with the impossible, blew an answer: their anger is often a sign of maturity and it comes to subject of Snowy tests to verify this hypothesis.
Psychoanalysts must do everything so that the Institute for the child to become a powerful weapon that is authoritative and opposes what shrivels children. And only the Lacanian psychoanalytic orientation in its simplicity, could accompany the way Snowy on its way to shrink the thieves and build his own fiction.

Leaning, leasing - by Isabelle Pontecaille
The Night of the Hunter C. Laughton is in line with tales blacks whose children are both heroes and victims. The film tension Fears of John and Pearl and those whose gaze of the viewer is confused with that of the little boy. Kinds of Hansel and Gretel, children, bearers of a secret fleeing a Bluebeard who killed their mother to take refuge with a good fairy.
The film begins in the innocence of a game of hide and seek, but the reference to curse the M Fritz Lang announces the next scene and the discovery of a woman's body, first confrontation with death. The killer, the Preacher Powell is a fanatic whose sexuality is expressed by a hatred of women as the embodiment of evil. "There are too many, you can not kill them all. "Released from prison, he goes in search of hidden money to a cellmate, Robin Hood of the crisis of 29, which is none other than the children's father. Condemned to silence the secret of that money hidden in the belly of the doll Pearl location visible to all - one can think here of the purloined letter - the children will escape the man who became a stepfather in a long descent the river by moonlight, in the foreground with animals out of Alice in Wonderland
Two scenes filmed exactly the same angle frame the plot: the arrest of the father who entrusted the money and the secret to his son, and that of the murderer. The acting is the same. John saw this at the end of the film the initial trauma has been for him the grounding of his father when he attended, impotent. He teaches at the second stage that Powell killed his mother. The repetition has caused him some confusion of the two father figures and screams, "Enough is enough, well, rebuke him, I am not daddy is too!" then hit the preacher of the doll which escape tickets before passing out, freeing themselves of debt and father.
These fears caused by love and hatred of these two male figures, one taking the trouble to look good and the other the well to do evil, mark the beginning and end of a course that mark other fears. Duality good / evil in some letters written on the hands of Powell love / hate , through all the sequences.
games of harsh lighting in studio sets where light and shadow clash part of this atmosphere, just as the knife that opens and closes the pastor in the presence women within the scope of impulses that agitate. When the boy sees him for the first time through the window of the preacher's shadow gradually covered hers. "Only a man" he said, but the viewer is substituted for that of Pearl scared. Then, as in all sequences where the danger is present, a musical theme - "Leaning, leasing / Safe and Secure from all alarms / Leaning, leasing / Leaning On The Everlasting Arms" linked to its appearance precedes or follows. Look at the shadow and voice Powell sings his song inspires fear. Are built and the scene of departure and where children, revealing the personality of their stepfather, took refuge in a cellar, the protector becomes the place of greatest danger.
When the leak in the boat on the river where their dead mother is their guardian angel, children stop at a barn, the voice of Powell again warned viewers of his arrival, confirming its presence as disturbing in the night of scenes finales.De Similarly, the montage of the arrival of a Train announcement implied by the elliptical construction hazards of the pastor and provokes the viewer, moments before the encounter with the children, a fear confirmed in their eyes.
