ENGL 273 - The Psychoanalytic Imagination in American Culture


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 4 Hours
Attribute: 4 HU, WR

New Course Added 10.23.2007.

In this course we will examine psychoanalysis as a literary and artistic medium in its own right. In addition to studying classic texts of Freudian psychoanalysis and those of object-relations theorists, we will explore the representation of psychoanalysis in the modern imagination. What we hope to accomplish from this work is an appreciation of psychoanalysis as an influential and intriguing model (and modeler) of human consciousness, as we test its validity across various periods and genres. Enrollment Limit: 30.
Instructor: I. Geerken
