Abstract

This study aims to investigate the becoming process toward psychological healing and inner maturity from a psychoanalytic geographical perspective, applying Jung’s theory of individuation to the French film Attila Marcel. The film depicts how Paul, the main character, who lives a daily life marked by repression and boredom, meets Madame Proust by chance and gradually reaches maturity, thereby revealing an in-depth world of the unconscious beyond humor. In particular, it translates the concept of Individuation by Jung―comprising the Persona, Shadow, Anima･Animus, and True Self―through spatial affect and embodied experience, making it highly suitable for a geographical inquiry. While conventional psychoanalytic geography has predominantly focused on ‘desire’ through Freud, Lacan, etc., this study finds its significance in exploring Jung’s perspective on deeply personal and transcendental dimensions, providing a further advanced postmodern perspective within a geographical context.

본 연구는 프랑스 영화 󰡔마담 프루스트의 비밀정원󰡕을 대상으로 Jung의 개성화 과정을 적용해 심리적 치유와 내적 성숙을 이루어가는 되어감(Becoming)을 정신분석지리학적 차원에서 고찰하는 것에 목표를 둔다. 이 영화는 이유도 모른 채 억눌림과 무료함으로 점철된 일상을 살아가던 주인공 Paul이 우연히 만난 마담 Proust를 통해 성장하는 모습을 담고 있으며, 해학을 뛰어넘는 심도 있는 무의식의 세계를 그린다. 특히 Jung의 페르소나, 그림자, 아니마･아니무스, 진정한 자기 등의 개성화 과정을 공간적 정동과 신체화된 경험으로 풀어내고 있어 지리적 탐구의 대상으로 충분한 가치를 지닌다고 할 수 있다. 이 연구는 그동안 지리학계에서 Freud, Lacan 등 ‘욕망’을 중심으로 정신분석학을 다뤘던 맥락과 달리, Jung의 지극히 개인적이고 초월적인 차원의 한층 더 심화된 포스트모더니즘적 관점을 지리학적으로 고찰한다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
