Abstract

The aim of this work is to address the notion of the infantile ominous following the formulations that Sigmund Freud made in 1919, and will try to locate how this concept can be exemplified in the series by director Mike White, The White Lotus. Firstly, the notion of “series-form” developed by Gérard Wajcman will be located in order to given rise to the function of series in the contemporary world, unlike cinema, and some of the author’s contributions in this regard will be located. On the other hand, some scenes from the series will be examined that question the notions of success and failure as they are conceived in current civilization and other scenes that can be articulated with what Jacques Lacan named in 1967 as “the generalized child” and its correlate. with segregation processes.

Keywords: series-form | ominous | generalized child | enjoyment | success | failure
