Annotation: The paper is devoted to the role of the unconscious in development of modern culture. The specific role of unconscious processes in the entire mental life of a person is convincingly shown in works of representatives of the psychoanalytic school (C. G. Jung, A. Adler, H. Marquez, E. Fromm, V. Reich, T. Adorno, M. Horkheimer, J. Lacan). The relevance of addressing the issues of interaction between the unconscious and culture is due to the need to study the symbolic sphere of artistic culture and active integration of various fields of knowledge in order to conduct some interdisciplinary research. We consider it necessary to include a broader cultural context in the field of research: English and German fiction, massively popular movies. The object of the study is artistic culture of the 20th century; the subject is role of the idea of the unconscious in the development of artistic culture of the 20th century. The aim of the study is to reveal the constructive influence of the idea of the unconscious on the development of artistic culture of the 20th century. We used the system-structural method providing the multidimensional analysis of culture as complex set of the interconnected elements and also the hermeneutic method of text research for interpreting some texts of art culture – some English and German literature and movies. The influence of the psychoanalytic tradition, founded by Z. Freud and actively developed by his followers, widely spread in the Western culture in the 20th century. We can trace basic provisions of psychoanalysis in one or another creative interpretation in art, literature and cinema. Without a doubt, the influence of psychoanalysis on culture will continue in the future.
