Mutual Impact: At the Crossroads of Psychoanalysis and Literature Kuchenhoff Joachim
What can psychoanalysis contribute to the interpretation and understanding of cultural products, in particular, literary works? The interpretative strategies offered by psychoanalysis, often unfamiliar to cultural studies, can adorn literature with new meaning. What, on the other hand, can novels and plays offer to widen the conceptual and theoretical perspectives in psychology and psychoanalysis?
Conversely, psychoanalytic thinking has since its advent greatly profited from literature and literary criticism. Psychoanalysis enables the perspective of unconscious motivations of social action and thought and widens semiotic strategies to understand linguistic, and even infra-linguistic, signs. From Freud onwards, psychoanalytic theory has integrated poetic knowledge or transformed epistemological and interpretative concepts of cultural studies into psychoanalysis.
