Los sueños del mundo, una interpretación del cine desde la psicología analítica

Abstract

Analytical psychology proposes an analysis of the cinema that is completely different from other areas of psychology and very distant from the proposals of classical psychoanalysis. The difference between refers to the presence of symbolic interpretation versus semiotics, two opposing perspectives that represent radically different ways of seeing and standing before art and the world. Jungian cinematographic analysis defines the symbols as living messages constituting the cinematographic contents a kind of projected psyche. The origin of the images is located in the collective unconscious, in its archetypes, which will access consciousness from the active imagination. By experiencing the cinema, we recover images or myths that complete our personal and collective unity, stabilizing our psychic functioning and finding a kind of balance for the community. The creative process arises from the unconscious, both that of the director who creates, and that of the viewer who relives the plot, or of the actors who join the narrative with their interpretive force, all participate in the same state of connection with the unconscious contents and with the archetypal world
