Psychoanalysis and Narrative : Literature, Film and Autobiography

Psychoanalysis and Narrative analyzes narrative in literary fiction, film, and autobiography, through different psychoanalytic lenses including gender and socio-cultural perspectives. This book aims to demonstrate how fictionists, auto-fictionists, and film makers have intuitively developed-through their own creativity, many of the psychoanalytic discoveries about the human mind. Subverting the usual direction of "applied psychoanalysis", the book goes from creativity to psychoanalysis, and focuses on four internationally known Argentine writers: Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cort?ar, Manuel Puig and Luisa Valenzuela, two Argentine women filmmakers, Lucrecia Martel and Luc? Puenzo, and French essayist and writer, Serge Doubrovsky. This volume will be of interest to students and academics interested in autobiography and auto-fiction.
