JUNG & FILM
Post-Junguian Takes on the Moving Image

Ed. by Christopher Hauke and Ian Alister

Who says Junguian have nothing to say about movies?
Jung film studies is a fast-growing discipline, but this is the first book to bring the best new writing from both sides of the Atlantic. The essays represent both clinical and academic perspectives, forming an essential bridge between analytical psychology as therapy and Junguian studies as a way of understanding the world. Scholary thinking and analytic insight come together in focussing on the place of movies in our psychological development - both through seminal films as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, Pulp Fiction, and other important movies wich exemplify key concepts in gender and typology. The post-Junguian perspective may be summarized as a truly psychological involvement with the imagery and narratives of movies wich, through exploration of the emotional relationship between the unconscious and the image on the screen, offers a transformative experience for the audience. Christopher Hauke and Ian Alister have brought together an outstanding array of contributors from Junguian analytic pratice and from the field of Film, Media and Cultural Studies.

Crhistopher Hauke is lecturer in Psychoanalytic Studies at Goldsmiths College, University of london, and an IAAP Junguian Analyst in private pratice in Kent. He has recently published Jung and the Postmodern: The Interpretation of Realities (Routledge, 2000).
