Freudian fable

Kevin Hart

8 points * 2 hours per week * Second semester * Clayton

This subject seeks to introduce students to the dialogue between literature and psychoanalysis. It has two broad aims: to see how Freudian analysis helps to interpret dreams and by extension to read literary texts, and to understand how Freud's most famous case studies themselves work as literary narratives. A detailed study will be made of Freud's `Wolf-Man' case and the discourses surrounding it.
