Psychoanalysis And Narrative Literature Film And Autobiography

Psychoanalysis and Narrative analyzes narrative in literary fiction film and autobiography through different psychoanalytic lenses including gender and socio-cultural perspectives. This book aims to demonstrate how fictionists and film makers have intuitively developed – through their own creativity – many of the psychoanalytic discoveries about the human mind. Subverting the usual direction of “applied psychoanalysis ” the book goes from creativity to psychoanalysis and focuses on four internationally known Argentine writers: Jorge Luis Borges Julio Cortázar Manuel Puig and Luisa Valenzuela; two Argentine women filmmakers Lucrecia Martel and Lucía Puenzo; and French essayist and writer Serge Doubrovsky. This volume will be of interest to students and academics interested in autobiography and autofiction. |Psychoanalysis and Narrative Literature Film and Autobiography
