Overview
Zoom sessions will be presented each Saturday at 5 PM London/ 12 PM (noon) New York time. Lectures are 90 minutes and recorded for students who cannot attend live. Bonus Lecture on the film Melancholia (2011), presented by Stefano Carta available upon registration.
This programme is for those drawn to the edge — the intersection of psyche and screen, of image and emotion. You don’t need a background in psychology or film. Just curiosity, and a willingness to sit with complexity.
May 17: Anthony McKibbin’s The Noisy Type analyzes hysteria in A Woman Under the Influence (1973), The Piano Teacher (2001), Possession (1981), and Tar (2022), contrasting Jung’s extroverted and Freud’s traumatic views on the “chaos of the organs.”
May 24: Nan McAughey’s Thorns in Her Side explores Antichrist (2009), where psychic rupture and primal drives reveal neurosis and hysteria, challenging misogynistic views of feminine nature.
May 31: Susan Schwartz’s Fragility of Self uses The Hours (2002) to probe the “as-if” personality, examining imposter syndrome and illusion through societal pressures and split selves.
June 7: Toby Reynolds’ Films on the Verge contrasts Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988) and Lost in Translation (2003), highlighting female resilience against oppressive gender norms via post-Jungian analysis.
June 14: Cristina Álvarez López and Adrian Martin’s Possession revisits Possession (1981), exploring hysteria through a couple’s marital crisis, blending horror and psychological drama.
June 21: Johann Mynhardt’s Faustian Bargain examines Nosferatu (2024), using the vampyre and Faustian motifs to unpack neurosis and the shadow in the journey of individuation.
