Sommario/riassunto |
|
Marlan looks at the intrinsic importance of the black sun to the human psyche and the meaning of darkness in Western culture. Using clinical cases, the literature of Goethe and Dante, and the art of Rothko and Reinhardt, he explores the influence of light and shadow on the fundamental structures of modern thought as well as the contemporary practice of analysis. "The Black Sun "offers insight into modernity, the act of imagination, and the work of analysis in understanding depression, trauma, and transformation of the soul. |
