My essay »Cinema as an Art of Healing« was chosen for the latest issue of CLIO’S PSYCHE (Volume 27 Number 2).
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.
The whole publication will soon be available on cliospsyche.org.
