Critical Essays on Twin Peaks: The Return


Add your own review!

Overview

This edited collection offers an interdisciplinary study of Twin Peaks: The Return, the third season of a TV program that has attracted the attention (and appreciation) of spectators, fans, and critics for over two decades. The book takes readers into several distinct areas and addresses the different approaches and the range of topics invited by the multidimensionality of the subject itself: the philosophical, the artistic, the socio-cultural, and the personal. The eighteen chapters constituting the volume are academic in their approach to the subject and in their methodology, whether they apply a historical, psychoanalytical, film studies, or gender studies perspective to the text under examination. The variety and range of perspectives in these aforementioned chapters reflect the belief that a study of the full complexity of Twin Peaks: The Return, as well as a timely assessment of the critical importance of the program, requires both an interdisciplinary perspective and the fusion of different intellectual approaches across genres. The chapters demonstrate a collective awareness of the TV series as a fundamental milestone in contemporary culture.

Reviews

What's noteworthy here is that Ellis and Theus take time and care to state clearly what they consider the benefits and drawbacks to psychoanalytic cinema critique, particularly in regards to Lynch's work. Fans and scholars alike can benefit from their example as they navigate between those who outright reject psychoanalytic analysis and those who might rigidly attempt to force Twin Peaks fully into a simplified framework. (Andy Hageman, 25 YL, 25yearslatersite.com, March, 2019)
