Saturday Night Fever is Not Only About Disco: Archetypes, Identity and the Search for Identity (The Turning Point Series, Band 1) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Saturday Night Fever Isn’t Only About Disco explores the 1977 film as a living psychological story about identity, belonging and the difficult journey toward adulthood.

Beneath the music, fashion and celebrated dance scenes stands Tony Manero, a young man caught between family expectations, cultural limitations, friendship, masculinity and the longing for a different future. On the dance floor, Tony feels confident, admired and fully alive. Away from it, he must confront uncertainty, shame, loss and the question of who he is when the applause ends.

Drawing upon Jungian psychology, object relations, attachment theory and developmental psychology, this Study examines the persona, the False Self, the search for recognition and the courage required to leave an inherited identity behind.

More than a reflection on an iconic film, this book invites readers to consider their own dance floors, the places where they perform, seek belonging and begin imagining who they might become.
