Andreas Jacke

Andreas Jacke, born in 1966 in Ostwestfalen, studied film studies and philosophy at FU Berlin, TU Berlin and Humboldt University. He received his doctorate in 2002 on Marilyn Monroe and psychoanalysis. Jacke is an author (fiction) and has published works mainly in the field of film and cultural studies. He writes monographs in the context of film, psychoanalysis (Freud/Melanie Klein), feminism (differential feminism) and philosophy (poststructuralism, Frankfurt School), which often contain a biographical level of interpretation. One focus is on acting. Pop icons David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe and the film director Rainer Werner Fassbinder have all been subjected to psychoanalytic interpretation by him. But many of his publications are also influenced by the philosophy of Jacques Derrida and also that of Walter Benjamin. Production backgrounds, literary references and references to film history are also included. With his studies of the James Bond films and the TV series Sherlock, Jacke has analysed two British serial heroes and their literary roots. This has been followed by an examination of the work of four female film directors and a gender-theory and psychoanalytic study of the genders in pop culture that starts with deconstruction.
