W. Winnicott, Hanna Segal's psychoanalytic aesthetics, and recent advances in queer theory, postcolonial studies, and Lacanian psychoanalysis. Increasingly, theorists and clinicians have brought the differing and, at times, contentious methodologies of Klein, Winnicott, and Jacques Lacan into productive psychoanalytic dialogue. \"Refinding the Object in Modern Fiction Studies\" advances this emerging critical conversation by providing fresh avenues for discerning the object's mediation of desire at the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality in the creative fiction of such canonical modernists as Nella Larsen, Ernest Hemingway, Toni Morrison, and Patrick McGrath.","PeriodicalId":44377,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN IMAGO","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45199871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paris is praised for the openness with which he writes about his personal struggles and for the depth of his insights into literature. In his autobiographical writings, Paris shows how his reading of Karen Horney, in conjunction with his experience of psychotherapy, allowed him to replace his allegiance to George Eliot's self-effacing Religion of Humanity with a sounder value system. The utility of Paris's focus on the tension between rhetoric and mimesis in literary works, as well as his use of the concepts of the implied author and the authorial personality, is underscored. The legitimacy of analyzing the childhoods of literary characters and of considering the author as a historical person is defended as an enhancement of Paris's synchronic approach.","PeriodicalId":44377,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN IMAGO","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47574493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
