This vanguard collection of original and in-depth essays explores
the intricate interplay of the aesthetic and psychological domains
during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and
considers the reasons why a common Modernist project took shape
when and in the circumstances that it did. These changes occurred
precisely when the distinctively modern disciplines of psychology,
psychiatry, and psychoanalysis established their "scientific"
foundations and achieved the forms in which we largely know them
today. This volume examines the dense web of connections joining
the aesthetic and psychological realms in the modern era, charting
historically the emergence of the ongoing modern discussion
surrounding such issues as identity-formation, sexuality, and the
unconscious. The contributors form a distinguished and diversified
group of scholars, who write about a wide range of cultural fields,
including philosophy, the novel and poetry, drama, dance, film and
photography, as well as medicine, psychology, and the occult
sciences.
