Rescued
1. Does "rescued" mean "revived and continued"?
2. Does "focusing" refer to " recent discussions on art and psychoanalysis in the 1990s" or "Melanie Klein’s theories for contemporary art"?
3. What does "linguistic bent" mean? Does it mean "Linguistic aspect"?
Context:
In Chapter 9, the book returns from the 1970s to recent discussions on art and psychoanalysis in the 1990s which rescued Melanie Klein’s theories for contemporary art, focusing on sadistic aggression rather than the linguistic bent of Lacanian theory. Rather than mediation and representation, the pre-linguistic aggressions of Kleinian theories lead us towards the idea that art can be reparative and healing (Art and Psychoanalysis by Maria Walsh).
