 | | Too often psychoanalytic readings of texts are one-way, and while we’ll attempt some applied psychoanalysis, we’ll also use narrative to interrogate psychoanalytic theory, method, and protocol -- esp. since folklore and popular literature helped make psychoanalysis possible in the first place. |
 | | At issue is what I call, after Michele LeDoeuff’s study of philosophy, the “psychoanalytic imaginary” -- that is, the theoretical and imaginative repertoire of psychoanalysis, from stated principles to implicit paradigms to particular tropes, images, and rhetorical strategies. |
 | | Any approach is fine, provided that the essay is well developed, thorough, and sufficiently researched. |
