Myth, Mind and the Screen

Understanding the heroes of our time

Myth, Mind and the Screen is a systematic attempt to apply Jungian theory

to the analysis of ﬁlms (including 2001: ASpace Odyssey, The Silence of the

Lambs and The Piano ) as well as a variety of cultural icons and products

such as Madonna, Michael Jackson and televised sport. Through these

and other examples, John Izod shows how Jungian theory can bring

new tools to ﬁlm and media studies and new ways of understanding

screen images and narratives. He also demonstrates how Jungian analysis

can provide us with fresh insights into the psychological dimensions of

contemporary mythology and the subjective experience of audiences.

Perhaps most controversially, he argues that in the Western world cinema

and television bear much of the responsibility for collective emotional

mediation that in previous centuries was borne by organised religion. A

valuable resource for students of ﬁlm and media studies, cultural studies

and psychoanalytic studies.

JOHN IZOD is Professor of Screen Analysis in the Department of Film

and Media Studies, University of Stirling. He is the author of Reading the

Screen (1984), Satellite, Cable and Beyond (with Alastair Hetherington,

1984), Hollywood and the Box Ofﬁce (1988), The Films of Nicolas Roeg:

Myth and Mind (1992), and An Introduction to Television Documentary:

Confronting Reality (with Richard Kilborn, 1997).
