MIS/TAKES: ARCHETYPE, MYTH AND IDENTITY IN SCREEN FICTION.

Description:

"Mis/takes departs from the bulk of screen discourse by applying Jungian and post-Jungian ideas on unconscious processes to popular film and television. This perspective offers a rich insight into the way that various myths infiltrate popular culture. By examining the function of psychological motifs and symbols in cinema and television, Terrie Waddell opens up another way of thinking about how identity can be constructed and disrupted."--Jacket.
