PSY-399T.1   Hitchcock's Cinema: Gaze Toward Psychodynamics 3 credits

Prerequisites: PSY-254

The psychodynamic perspectives of Freud and Lacan will be studied using Hitchcock's films as a lens, so to speak. The purpose of the course will be to investigate what Lacan and Freud said and then examine representations of their work through popular culture. As Hitchcock's work is so broad, the course will concentrate on films produced from his late work (1970s) back through the late period of British films (late 1930s).
