Description:

Cinematherapy II: Personal and Social Awareness Through Cinema: This course focuses on the analysis of mythology through International cinema. The course will expand on topics and concepts presented in Cinematherapy I: Images With a Purpose. Students will examine in depth the differences between Freud and Jung's psychological perspectives on symbolic dream interpretation, as well as the concept of the collective unconscious and its archetypes which appear in Junglan theory. This will enable students to utilize their comprehension of the symbolic language of dreams in order to conceptualize the personal mythology theory of Dr. Stephen Larsen. Through the analysis of selected films, students will examine six major mythological themes which recur across cultures, demonstrating that cinema functions as society's modern day mythology as identified by Dr. Joseph Campbell. The goal of this course is to give students an understanding of similarities between personal and soclo- cultural mythology by using cinema as a tool for psychological examination and social comprehension, enabling them to become more effective educatiors and artists as well as more globally.
