CLP 1401 - Literature And Psychoanalysis

Institution:

University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus

Subject:

Description:

Literature and psychoanalysis share language as a foundational ground for discovering and communicating the truth of human life as human beings themselves perceive it. Psychoanalysis has been justifiably referred to as the “talking cure.” It provides us with ways of coming to know ourselves as creatures whose psyche and language are intertwined. That sensitivity offers literary analysis and psychoanalysis effective means of interpretations of what we hear and what we read. In these acts of interpretations we learn how to hear and read literary texts and how to be reciprocally heard and read by them in a process of self-analysis. This course will show students how literary and psychoanalytic methods widen and deepen the scope and ability of people to apply them to oral and written narratives.
