Film theory & criticism; Analytical & Jungian psychology

Series: Routledge International Handbooks

Winner of the IAJS award for best edited book of 2018!

The Routledge International Handbook of Jungian Film Studies weaves together the various strands of Jungian film theory, revealing a coherent theoretical position underpinning this exciting recent area of research, while also exploring and suggesting new directions for further study.

The book maps the current state of debates within Jungian orientated film studies and sets them within a more expansive academic landscape. Taken as a whole, the collection shows how different Jungian approaches can inform and interact with a broad range of disciplines, including literature, digital media studies, clinical debates and concerns. The book also explores the life of film outside cinema - what is sometimes termed ‘post-cinema’ - offering a series of articles exploring Jungian approaches to cinema and social media, computer games, mobile screens, and on-line communities.

The Routledge International Handbook of Jungian Film Studies represents an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Jungian approaches to film. It will also appeal to those interested in film theory more widely, and in the application of Jung’s ideas to contemporary and popular culture.

Reviews for The Routledge International Handbook of Jungian Film Studies

Jungian Film Studies has been energetically pushing open the doors of the academy for years. Now, with this volume, full entry has been achieved. The book is reliable, fascinating and beautifully put together. To Lecturers in Film and Related Subjects: Abandon whatever prejudices you have left and put this one on your assigned reading lists! To Students: If your lecturers do not assign this book as essential reading, make a noise about it because you are missing out on where the action is! The Jungians are not only coming, they are here. --Professor Andrew Samuels, Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex Hockley and his colleagues have essentially resisted the `confirmation bias' of much contemporary film theory in this innovative and insightful collection. Enjoying a rich balance between determining embodied meanings and insinuating wider cultural affect in film, the essays are as valuable for the clinician as the theorist. Repositioning cinema as a font of psychological and emotional questions beyond the imprimatur of Freudian and Lacanian readings, this international collection speaks to the theory, therapy and thought the image has always promised to offer, and in many of these analyses, is here so usefully revealed. --Professor Paul Wells, Animation Academy, Loughborough University.
