HM 534 - A Brief History of Phantasm

Institution:

Pacifica Graduate Institute

Subject:

Description:

This myth-based course tracks the history of the phantasm through the critical theory and popular culture in the modern era. We investigate the implications of the phantasm with developments in media, from Spiritualist photography to the uncanny status of the image in contemporary cinema and media art. At the same time, we explore archetypal theories of the phantasm and creative imagination that draw from psychoanalysis, Greek science, and Renaissance concepts of the imagination.
