This area of inquiry seeks to explore the limits and potential of the conscious and unconscious mind. Sigmund Freud is a permeating influence on this school of criticism. Many theorists react to his framing of the interactivity of the unconscious mind in terms of id, ego and superego. His ideas about sexual desire, fears and dreams have also been influential. He often turns to literature in order to explicate many of his psychological theories. Noted theorists such as Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva rethink Freud’s ideas in terms of linguistics or semiotics. They see the psyche as structured like a language. Lacan relies on the work of Ferdinand de Saussure to remap the development of desire in humans. Using language and psychoanalysis as a starting point, Kristeva presents a feminist interpretation of some of Lacan’s work. She examines the way language comes to represent the symbolic (male orientation) and the semiotic (female orientation) and how the semiotic seeks to challenge the symbolic, calling into question the larger divisions between male and female and masculinity and femininity. Frantz Fanon uses psychology to examine racism and colonialism, while Ed Bernays, Freud’s nephew, uses it for social control, advertising and public relations.Some of the questions you might pose and explore with this approach are… What influences the behaviors and actions you see in the text?What motivates characters or people to say what they say?How might an experience or memory from the past affect one’s personality?
