This book investigates the shifting relationship between
performance and subjectivity over the course of the Modern era.
Each chapter details a different set of performance strategies
designed to grant the subject a stable sense of self-identity, and
each explores the fallout from the ultimate failure of these
strategies to offer the subject a fixed and enduring image of
itself. The conclusion examines the implications of this failure
for new Postmodern conceptions of subjectivity and poses questions
about the use of performance in the self-fashioning of future
generations.
A radically new interpretation of Picasso's life and work by an
important Jungian scholar, The Psychological Roots of Modernism is
an exciting contribution to the fields of both Jungian psychology
and cultural criticism.All of Picasso's major works, from the Blue
period masterpieces to the abstractions of mature Cubism, are
examined as part of a single narrative which directly challenges
our assumptions, and the views of a number of prominent art
historians, and provides an entirely new perspective on the
signature achievements of the modernist movement. Beginning with
Picasso's first months in Paris, the author shows how Picasso's art
evolved as a hero's journey, involving encounter with the
unconscious, the emergence of a strengthened ego, and the eventual
balance of the ego and the unconscious which attained visible
expression in the forms of Cubism. Through the Jungian framework,
the reader is able to understand how not only Picasso's art, but
his relations to his mistress and colleagues, his changing
lifestyle and work habits, and his attraction to major Modernist
figures like Rousseau and Cezanne were expressions of this
psychological transformation. While using Jung to illuminate
Picasso, The Psychological Roots of Modernism also employs Picasso
to illuminate Jung, providing the clearest and most compelling
support for the bedrock principles of analytical psychology. The
book's powerful application of Jung's psychology and its radically
new perspectives on Picasso's art make it essential reading for
students in the fields of art history and Freudian and Jungian
psychology.
