HEIDEGGER’S DASEIN AND ANGST: EXAMINING THE ANXIETY OF EXISTENCE IN INGMAR BERGMAN’S PERSONA

Öz

According to a common belief, anxiety can be an experience of a certain degree of powerlessness because a person suffering from anxiety is hampered as a person who cannot possess a particular category of power. This lack of a desired power manifests as the source of emotion that results in anxiety. Because fear and anxiety are commonly used interchangeably in ordinary discourse, fear is often used erroneously instead of anxiety when, under further examination, anxiety would be the preferable usage. However, shedding light on the idea of anxiety (Angst), Heidegger (1889-1976) in Being and Time (1927) takes it upon himself to distinguish fear from anxiety: while the former (Fear) is experienced as an identifiable object -- as a threat qua threat -- to our life, the latter (Angst) is experienced where there is no identifiable object resulting in a relatively eventual traumatic experience, whereby the individual is “deprived of any avenue of escape from the threatening danger.” Anxiety of existence on its own as a philosophical problem in Heidegger’s examination is elaborated by the concepts of Being or Dasein (Existence). In this respect, describing ‘the self of everyday Dasein’ as the ‘the-self-there,’ Heidegger differentiates ‘authentic being’ from ‘inauthentic being.’ He highlights the problematic that we as human beings are thrown into the world of Being where individuals may fail to identify and differentiate themselves among inauthentic inscriptions of the masses within the confines of Existence. Examining the anxiety of Existence (Being of the world) around the idea of Dasein (Being in the world), Heidegger therefore discusses the anxiety under the rubric of thrownness. To this end, in this essay, with a Heideggerian perception of anxiety, I will discuss Ingmar Bergman’s (1918-2007) classic work of art Persona (1966) by bringing forth the personality of a successful actress, found in Elizabeth Vogler (Liv Ullmann)’s story, where she seems to be suffering from an enigmatic mental collapse with symptoms such as muteness and a near catatonic lassitude.
