Date – October 12, 2024
Time – 1 pm – 3 pm (Boston/EST) /6 pm – 8 pm (London/GMT)
Cost – $60
On Zoom
In this seminar, we will first look at the history of fairy tales in order to discern just what a fairy tale is, in contradistinction from other forms of traditional fantastical narratives, such as myths and legends. Too often this factual layer is missing in psychological readings of tales!
If a fairy tale is the dream of a culture, just what kind of dreaming is going on here? After a very brief look at Freud’s take, the copious work of Marie Louise von Franz on fairy tales and Jung’s much sparser musings on the genre will be brought into play before we look at the nuts and bolts of tale analysis with reference to a particular tale.
The seminar will comprise a powerpoint presentation, followed by a discussion of the tale; we will also have time for Q & A at the end.
