It demonstrates how spectators engage with narrative film, undergoing unconscious processes that generate a shift in the adherence to fantasies that impede assuming responsibility for one's fate and well being. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors discuss the affinities that the ontology and aesthetics of narrative film share with subjective, unconscious processes, offering new insights into the popular appeal of narrative film, through three film corpora, analyzed at length: body-character-breach films; dreaming-character films; and gender-crossing films. With a range of case studies from the old (\u003ci\u003eRebecca, Vertigo, Some Like it Hot\u003c\/i\u003e) to the new (\u003ci\u003eBeing John Malkovich, A Fantastic Woman\u003c\/i\u003e), Sandra Meiri and Odeya Kohen Raz build on psychoanalytic ideas about the cinema and take them in a completely new direction that promises to be the basis for further developments in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Meiri, Odeya Kohen-Raz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150138581X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501385810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Sandra Meiri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127682953471,"sku":"9781501385810","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3c14f64-d174-457e-a99e-b51b09feb334.jpg?v=1687454636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/traversing-the-fantasy-sandra-meiri-9781501385810","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
