Description of
Visual Culture in Freud's Vienna: Science, Eros, and the Psychoanalytic Imagination (Psychoanalytic Horizons)
B0C9SG7QRV rar Visual Culture in Freud's Vienna shows how photography and film in turn-of-the-century Vienna (the birthplace of psychoanalysis) not only reflected modernist ideas already in force, but helped to bring into being what might be referred to as a psychoanalytic imagination. Mary Bergstein demonstrates that visual images not only illustrated, but also engendered ways of seeing social, psychological, and scientific ideas during a formative time in the creation and development of psychoanalysis and the modern age. Indeed, she argues that visual culture initiated significant aspects of psychoanalytic thought.
