Abstract
At the threshold of the 20th century, psychoanalysis arises as a new art of healing. Simultaneously, cinema establishes itself as a healing art. From a psychohistorical perspective, I examine the origin of cinema and the psychological interaction between photoplay and spectator. This is the starting point for introducing cinema as a method of cultural studies, which delivers insight into the paradigms and the future development of a society.
