This paper, The Aesthetics of the Real: A Lacanian Interpretation of David Lynch's Blue Velvet, examines Jacques Lacan’s concept of the real and its portrayal in Lynch's Blue Velvet (1986). Using a psychoanalytic approach, the paper focuses on three key scenes to demonstrate how the elusive real manifests through auditory and tactile elements, such as the blue velvet, the singing voice, and recurring soundscapes. The opening scene creates a tactile sense of the world in its immediate and indefinable proximity. The becoming of the subject is explored through Lacan’s mirror stage and the confrontation with the real. Additionally, the feminine and “extra-linguistic” dimension of the voice is addressed, contributing to the sense of the real. This analysis shows how Lynch's film constructs a complex aesthetic in which the real appears as the excluded, the elusive, while being constituted in the ability of filmic images to embody tactility. In addition, the paper helps to further incorporate the real into Lacanian film theory, which has previously focused on the imaginary register.
