Dalla quarta di copertina

Psychoanalysis and the Image brings together an influential team of international scholars to use psychoanalytical resources in the study of international modern art and visual representation. Beginning with a substantial introduction by the editor, the volume covers a range of psychoanalytic concepts, including melancholia, trauma, sexuality, the dream, and femininity.

Fresh, creative, and passionate about its subjects, Psychoanalysis and the Image advances methodological debates in theoretically enriched histories of art while offering closely read visual analyses of significant works of international twentieth-century art. It teaches theory in practice while enabling general readers to learn about psychoanalysis through their interest in the visual arts.
