Some time ago, Elsa Godart – a French psychoanalyst and philosopher – treated a young girl who had taken semi-naked pictures of herself that went viral.
The girl was distraught (the pictures were intended for her boyfriend alone) “and it all came down to this momentary lapse of consciousness,” Godart explains, “a moment so powerful that all critical thought was suspended – along with any common sense. I found that fascinating.”
Once she began to delve deeper into the apparently anodyne and playful world of selfies, she found repeated (and sometimes fatal) instances of these “critical black-outs”.
