Download or read book Violence in the Films of Alfred Hitchcock written by David Humbert and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parting ways with the Freudian and Lacanian readings that have dominated recent scholarly understanding of Hitchcock, David Humbert examines the roots of violence in the director’s narratives and finds them not in human sexuality but in mimesis.

This study will appeal not only to Hitchcock fans and film scholars but also to those interested in Freud and Girard and their competing theories of desire.
