Abstract
Despite a number of methodological limitations, the archetypal approach is a widely used tool in cultural stud-ies and philosophical-anthropological researches today. This makes it possible to identify archetypal forms within a diverse cultural material and to analyze their significance from the standpoint of C.G. Jung’s theory. The heuristic effectiveness of this approach is particularly noteworthy when analyzing works of art. Archetypes, as products of the collective unconscious, are present in the work created by any artist. Universal matrices of archetypes determine both the creation and the perception of images. During the creative process, the author’s impersonal archetypal origin finds expression alongside personal content as well. Examining Ingmar Berg-man’s film “Fanny and Alexander” (1982) through the lens of the archetypal approach, the authors conclude that the film’s child characters embody the phenomenological traits of the child archetype: abandonment, in-vincibility, hermaphroditism, and the unity of the initial and the finite.
