Utilizing the Jungian framework of Archetypes, Carl Jung's concept of the Shadow, especially the Underdeveloped Shadow (or Other) as defined by Janice H. Rushing and Thomas S. Frentz, and the affective interaction of the Other with spectators' fears, this dissertation contributes a new model as a concurrent and complementary approach to existing Freudian-based psychoanalytical readings of films. The proposed model is applied to three selected films from the New German Cinema--Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Ali, Fear Eats the Soul (1974); Margarete von Trotta and Volker Schlöndorff's The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum (1975); and Werner Herzog's Nosferatu (1979)--to enhance and further the critical understanding of these films and their effect on spectator fear through the visual portrayal of the Jungian Other. / A Dissertation submitted to the Program Lq Interdisciplinary Humanities in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of
