ENG 307 - Psychoanalysis and Narrative

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

This course might also be titled "Having Fun with Freud." As psychoanalysis continues to lose ground as a clinical practice, it has become increasingly popular as a mode of criticism, a useful and creative tool for reading narrative. Analyzing works of both literature and film, we will focus on methods that can be applied to a wide variety of narratives, and that might also be relevant for independent work devoted to particular genres, including suspense, science fiction, fantasy, gothic, and testimonial. Topics may include hysteria, paranoia, uncanny, phobia, and trauma.
