The memories of past experiences have an unconscious influence on the present. In her novel Beloved, Toni Morrison vividly portrays the atrocities of slavery, shedding light on the enduring psychic wounds inflicted upon subjugated Black women and their motherhood. This study explores the embedded memories, trauma, and dehumanization that control and distort the ability of Black individuals to respond to the human experiences of maternal bonds. While existing literature has extensively explored motherhood, a gap remains in understanding the archetypal development within the fragmented psyche of tormented mothers. Drawing from Carl Jung and Eric Neumann's collective unconscious and mother archetype concept, this interdisciplinary research aims to identify and examine the dual nature of motherhood - the loving and the terrible. By analyzing the reasons behind this duality, we seek to redefine motherhood, considering the exhibition of two contradictory natures among oppressed mothers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital Trauma Crises, disasters and conflicts imply the destruction of the built environment, while the mediatisation of traumatic events contribute to the definition of an apocalyptic imaginary in which architecture plays its iconic role. Immersed in the image industry, some contemporary projects seem to exploit the perverse fascination of the collective unconscious for destruction and apocalypse through the simulation of ruined buildings, ambiguously synthesised in a three-dimensional translation of digital aesthetics.

Idyllic life is a crucial scenario in digital media marketing and virtual tourism. It is an idealized image of rural life that greatly influences tourists' choice of rural destinations. However, this image tends to lack an Oriental cultural perspective. Through a discourse analysis of Chinese newspapers and WeChat articles, six dimensions of the projected image of idyllic life were identified and their relationships were constructed. In addition, kinaesthesia and atmospheric sense were explored to enrich sensory marketing theory. The study provides support for rural tourism destination marketing. It also reveals that visions of the idyllic life are common between the East and the West, suggesting cultural commonality. The collective unconscious image of idyllic life also complements the image of a rural tourism destination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The recent publication of C. G. Jung's notebooks, The Black Books, provides fresh insights into the project of self-exploration undertaken by the founder of analytical psychology. Jung developed a technique for bringing the contents of his unconscious into his conscious psyche. On occasion he brought forth signs he called "runes" and "hieroglyphs." These appear in The Black Books, in several mandala sketches, and in paintings in The Red Book. They were interpreted by imaginary entities conjured up through his method of active imagination. Here Jung's enigmatic graphic language is analyzed and placed within the historical, cultural, and psychological context from which it emerged. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the artistic work of Hazem Harb, a Palestinian artist, who explores themes of displacement and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. Harb's artwork challenges dominant narratives and reflects the historical echoes of the current assault on Gaza. The article also discusses Harb's transition from installation and collage work to expressive paintings of tortured bodies, which he began creating as a teenager in Gaza. Through his use of archival material and objects, Harb's artwork serves as a testimony to the existence of Palestine and the Palestinian people. [Extracted from the article]

The personal secrets of humans are just as though a deep and dark well. The peculiarities that occur within human beings not only attract numerous psychiatrists to unravel them but also captivate a Japanese writer, Haruki Murakami. In his novel entitled The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, he conveys subjective experiences through his main character. The novel tells the story of Toru Okada’s subconscious journey. It is where human memories connect with various ancient subconscious thoughts, strange illusions appear, and unheard voices manifest to ordinary humans. These are common indications of schizophrenia symptoms. The research reveals the challenge in identifying this syndrome, as affected individuals become detached from the “true reality.” Consequently, a more structured approach is deemed necessary to facilitate their reintegration. With the assistance of mythology, wherein this narrative serves as a collectively recognized storyline, those trapped within their fantastical worlds can effectively communicate and establish connections with those residing in the “true reality.

The article discusses the legacy of André Corboz, a Swiss historian of art, architecture, and urbanism, who is relatively unknown in North America due to the limited availability of his translated writings. Corboz is known for his concept of territory as a palimpsest, which emphasizes the need to reinterpret and recycle historical spaces to meet present needs. The article highlights an exhibition held in Lausanne that showcased Corboz's notebooks, sketches, photographs, and other materials that demonstrated his unique approach to understanding urban and landscape studies. The exhibition aimed to unravel Corboz's thought process and his interdisciplinary approach to knowledge production. A website has also been created to further explore Corboz's work.

This text helps to answer the question of whether the validity of myth has an active psychic function in the unconscious search for meaning in the life of modern men, which is assumed to be far removed from all mythical and ritual thought and immersed in a context in which reason is the only criterion of truth. The text focuses, therefore, on analyzing the power and influence of this psychic reality in the conscious world and on reflecting on whether this imaginal phenomenon has any use in the civilizing process or whether, on the contrary, the myth is rather a ballast, a simple chimera that makes it difficult to understand and accept the complicated conditions of today’s existence. The texts also reflects on whether dealing with this imaginal and symbolic universe meets the unconscious expectations and desires of today’s men to find meaning in their existence. The research methodology is based on the psychic phenomenology proposed by Carl Jung, and is also nourished, to a large extent, by the theoretical and conceptual contributions of the Romanian philosopher Mircea Eliade. In the rational world, the subconscious of current human beings does not cease to present innumerable myths and symbols, since it is never completely detached from the imaginal world. This is due to the fact that individuals are unconsciously influenced by ancestral mythological models of behavior that remain latent in the depths of the human being.

With the 2020 publication of the facsimile edition of The Black Books, we have an opportunity to study the layers of C. G. Jung's creative writing process for the first time. In this paper, I explore Jung's practice of active imagination in relation to his fantasy dialogues with the dead during two specific episodes in 1914 and 1916. I discuss Jung's concept of the collective unconscious corresponding to the "mythic land of the dead" and I show how this idea develops in The Black Books and The Red Book, or Liber Novus, culminating in Septem Sermones ad Mortuos. I describe my work with a patient, who, in an early session, said she felt like the "living dead". I recount how the patient's experience of her own internal world began to change as we were able to wonder about the inner world of the patient's late mother and, together, to imagine her mother's lament. I consider the use of imagination when working with the concept of "therapy for the dead" (Hillman & Shamdasani, 2013, p. 164) in the context of intergenerational trauma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In continuation with my on-going research and presentations on sport as a field of channeling and externalizing cruelty and violence, as a field of transfiguration of drives, in this paper I will examine instincts, drives and sublimation in Freud and post-Freudian psychoanalytic literature within the context of sports. Freud was influenced by Nietzsche on his drive theory; however, in Freud it assumes a specific meaning and finds its place within the context of his overall psychoanalytic work, especially in relation to his second topology of the human psyche that consists of id, ego and superego and his theory of sublimation. Ultimately, Freud reduces all drives to Eros and Thanatos and explains their workings in relation to the constitution of the psyche. Sublimation has a direct correlation to drives, which is a culture/individual specific way of treating and channeling drives; sublimation also has much to do with suffering and how we deal with suffering (and other emotions as I discuss in my book, Emotion in Sports). What I would like to explore in this paper is to understand in what ways sport is a form of sublimation and how sport may address the subject of drives, both Eros and Thanatos. Since Freud sees both of these drives as bound together in many contexts, does sport constitute one of those areas? What type of psychic constitution does the sporting culture assume? Or, to put it differently, what are the dynamic relations of the different parts of the human psyche, the id, the ego and the superego, in the practice of sport and in the community of sports? Here and elsewhere, in agreement with Jung, I will include discussion of 'collective unconscious', as I explore the significance of symbols of sport in the life of individuals and cultures.

Henry Abramovitch has written a mystery that astonishingly replicates the process of individuation in Jungian analytical treatment. Like any mystery it focuses on uncovering clues to the problem and finding a solution. This story is assisted by the guide of the analyst and the active imagination of the client in the character of Sherlock Holmes, of all people. The book brings into question the personality and role of the analyst, the meaning of the symptom, and the personality and role of the client. Like analysis, the ending is a surprise, culminating from a startling beginning plot line with spell-binding intrigue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The One, by theoretical physicist Heinrich Pas, reviews the history of monism from the Greeks to the modern period. Pas proposes a monism he calls "the One." His One follows from quantum mechanics. It is a universal wave function. He is then faced with how our everyday world arises. To answer he relies on a version of Evert's many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics and a process of decoherence that results in a dualism of consciousness and the quasi-classical world of space, time, and matter. C. G. Jung proposed a dual-aspect monism influenced by synchronicity. A comparison between Pas's monism and dualism and Jung's finds some apparent differences, but in the end they are found to be remarkably similar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay contends that emotional oscillations between subordination and emancipation are responsible for the inconclusivity and evasiveness of Le Fanu’s plots, which critics often emphasise but rarely try to explain. The parallels between, on the one hand, the dual structures that pervade Le Fanu’s works and, on the other, the binaries of latent dream thoughts and manifest dream content, the familiar and the uncanny, which Sigmund Freud employs in his explorations of the unconscious, shed significant light on the motivational forces at work in Le Fanu’s oeuvre. Le Fanu uses displacement and condensation, the major operations Freud attributes to dream work, to create an outside world, which reveals itself as an upended world within. This essay tries to demonstrate the psychological significance of central motifs in Le Fanu's works, such as the double and the closed room. In light of later psychoanalytical insights into the influence of childhood traumatisation on the creativity of writers, Le Fanu appears absorbed by the incorporation of his innermost mortifications and yearnings into the defamiliarisations of his fiction. On the basis of Gothic patterns, he produces psychological fiction avant la lettre. He anticipates George Orwell’s dissection of mental processes in terms of manipulative social engineering, H.P. Lovecraft’s fantastic evocations of a Jungian collective unconscious, and literary interiorisation by modernist techniques, developed not long after Le Fanu’s death by the likes of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf.

Amongst all the goddesses in ancient China, the Queen Mother of the West (Xiwangmu) represents the most multi-layered mother archetype with the richest connotations. Through a longitudinal literature review, this paper aims to explore different facets of the Queen Mother of the West as a representation of the Great Mother archetype in Jungian psychology. In ancient China, she was a supreme goddess controlling the order of the universe. Her residence, Mount Kunlun, is capable of nourishing and devouring life. She possesses the elixir of life and controls the punishments of the world. Thus, the Queen Mother of the West is transformed into a deity of both life and death. In the funeral rituals of the Han and Tang dynasties, she was a goddess who summoned the dead and led their spirits to heaven, while in folklore she was a mythical Muse for many emperors and the anima of many intellectuals. She is the mother of reincarnation and the eternal spirit. As a symbol for instinct, archetype and femininity in the collective unconscious, the Queen Mother of the West embodies both the positive and negative aspects of the mother archetype: the positive being the persona of the Great Mother and the negative being the shadow. At the ultimate stage of spiritual development, she acts as the anima and the transcendent Holy Virgin in ancient Chinese culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Some historical stories, especially because of their religious themes, appeal to the ordinary people in some societies and have been retold in different ways during the time. One of these stories is the story of Prophet Yusuf, which has been frequently considered not only in the history of the Qur'an interpretational tradition by commentators and authors in the field of ethics but also in the history of Iranian poetry, art, and literature. The two important scenes of this story are Yusuf escaping from Zulaykha and also Zulaykha's party which are considered the two tempting climaxes of Yusuf's story as well. These two scenes refer to moral aspects, on the one hand, and to sexuality on the other. These dramatic and figural scenes have been repeatedly represented in the history of Iranian painting, especially in the Safavid and Qajar eras. There are many paintings in the Qajar era also seemingly referring to and evoking this scene for audience. As a social fantasy, discussed in this paper, the Naranjborii Majlis or Zulaykha's party somehow discards moral aspects for the sake of sexuality. This scene, not mentioned in the Torah at all and briefly mentioned in the Qur'an, is highly taken into consideration by commentators, poets, writers, painters, and the ordinary people in post-Qur'anic literature in all historical periods, especially in Iran. Therefore, one can question this importance and look for its historical and cultural roots; the visual functions of it can be questioned as well. This essay, with a descriptive and synthetic analytical method, tries to gene-analyze this scene in a social and psychoanalytical approach regarding the collective unconscious of Iranian people. Gene-analysis in this paper provides a theoretical and conceptual framework alongside a methodological and targeted combination of myth-analysis, psycho-analysis, and discourse analysis, with the help of which one can find the mythological origin of this scene and comparatively analyse them in terms of discourse, and expectedly, in terms of psychoanalysis, to know about the conscious and unconscious psychological investment of the collective subject. The results justified that the Creation Myth scene in Bondahish, one of the holy books in Zoroastrianism in the late Sassanian era, is the figural model of Zulaykha's party, also Nerse and Jahi are the archetypal characters of Yusuf and Zulaykha with the same roles and characteristics. The paintings of Zulaykha's party can present dense and multiple and at the same time contradictory scenarios and can also be a suitable scene for the collective subject's projection and fantasy; consequently, it causes the multifaceted circulation of desires and anxiety in an unconscious way. What is considered to be the most significant point of this study is that Yusuf is deemed an attractive prototype for kings, beautiful men and women; like Fath Ali Shah, due to the correlation of power (holiness) and beauty (connected with sexuality). Finally, what can be inferred from this paper is that, this scene due to some indigenous reasons, rooted in Iranian culture and history, has been repeatedly represented in the history of Iranian painting.

CIRET has set up an AI research group to highlight the need for human ethical mediation in the age of digital technology and binary logic. Francisco Varela has observed that cognition can take place in the computer field without appealing to consciousness. Yet human decision-making cannot be the result of cognition alone and requires the interaction between cognition and consciousness. In fact, rationalist and reductionist models borrowed from the hard sciences have only shown a mechanistic vision of AI or a biological-environmental vision, which cannot be applied to complex human phenomena occurring in a grey zone. In this grey or fuzzy zone of mediation, conciliation, and repair, we need the dialectical process or dialogue between consciousness and cognition. In this context, the proposal of mediating leaders and managers appears as a possible ethical alternative to demonstrate that consciousness is beyond the logic of the computer. Humans must remain responsible for all the effective decisions that will help us solve problems theoretically and concretely. We therefore need an emerging global wisdom that flows from our conversations about AI and appeals to human consciousness at all its levels of reality. This group produced a Symposium on November 21 and 22, 2023, in which we imagine that AI may be at the service of human evolution and resiliency in "learning to be societies" instead of contributing to block our evolutions: if AI remains a work tool... Certainly it will because the creation sparkles still a mystery for men themselves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article studies the scope of Artificial Intelligence (AI) through the HPTD-M theory, i.e., the Holopraxis Transdisicplinary Management. It aims at collaborating to the debate on the limits of AI, including ChatGPT simulations, comparing the four types of intelligence in the HPTD-M Theory, namely empirical, emotional, rational, and intuitive, with the nine types of Gardner's multiple intelligences theory (MI Theory). The types of intelligence are also compared with psychosomatics, the emotional shadow of the Western culture, the levels of the collective unconscious, and soft skills. The concept of mediating manager has an essential role in showing the limits of AI, which is an exceptional instrument for KNOWING but not UNDERSTANDING. An example of adequate use of AI through ChatGPT is demonstrated through a discussion on Plato's four virtues. A table considering the HPTD-M quaternary structure of intelligence shows how there cannot be consciousness awakening in AI, since it is limited to rationality. Besides, the HPTD-M's three types of logic, i.e., Binary, Feedback, and Included Third, are another way to demonstrate that AI is based merely on the Binary logic. Management tools need to be used a priori with awareness of the limits of their applications. AI is no different, a disruptive technology that every professional will have to learn to deal with, like the personal computer in the late 1980s, an excellent rational tool, but not an empirical, emotional, or intuitive resource for problem solving. The AI binary logic does not apply to the complexity of human phenomena. Furthermore, AI can function as a consultant or assistant in terms of an efficient source of information, but not as an effective manager or decision maker. Roughly, through the managerial theory, effectiveness is to do the right thing, which is more than efficiency (to do things right). Then, in this author's opinion constructed through simulations in the ChatGPT to obtain efficient results, the questions to AI need to be objective and precise in the concepts. There cannot be complex issues involving human phenomena: This is for the effective human decision maker, not for AI to answer since there can't be consciousness awakening in AI.

From the mythological point of view, the hero of a literary text is an archetype in the collective unconscious who embodies the collective ideals of a culture while searching for his/her individual identity at the narrative level. In his seminal The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), Joseph Campbell addresses the archetypal function of the hero in three main stages: departure, initiation, and return. Drawing on Campbell’s model, this study examines the journey of the hero in the second storyline of The Seventh Day of Creation, i.e., Al-Sirah al-Mutlaqiyeh. Sirah al-Zatiyeh is a sequence to another study by same authors that examined the first storyline of the novel (Al-Sirah al-Zatiyeh) with regard to the author’s personality and individuation. Proceeding from the analysis of Al-Sirah al-Zatiyeh, this study considers Mutlaq as an antihero based on Campbell’s model and identifies a Hegelian dialectic relationship between the two storylines of the novel. Al-Sirah al-Zatiyeh and Al)Sirah al-Mutlaqiyeh, which respectively represent the individual code and the social code, are designed to showcase an ideal Iraqi society. More precisely, highlighting the opposition in the two main parts of the narrative points at the movement and dynamism desired by the author for changing the future of the country.

This study develops the research initiated in the volume titled In the Shadow of an Echo: Silence, Archetype, Recipience (2021). Unlike it, though, focusing on investigating the notion of silence relying on keywords such as the collective unconscious specific to analytical psychology, this study points out silence in its relationship either antinomic or complementary with language and all the notions escorting it closely: sound, noise, scream, whisper, logorrhoea, etc. It is a plea in the field of cultural studies, extracting its hypotheses from the sphere of the most recent challenges within neurosciences, phenomenology, and performing arts. The author does not aim to reach the same conclusions using another intellectual tool. On the contrary, he attempts to shed another light on silence, thus providing readers with both certitudes and mostly dilemmas, inviting them to better self-knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A combination of somatic and psychodynamic approaches can reveal embodied ego-states, subpersonalities, and archetypal influences communicating through the body-mind. This paper supports the hypothesis that ego-states and other elements of the psyche manifest somatically. Thus, more attention needs to be given to the body as part of the therapeutic dialogue. This can illuminate egoic manifestations occurring with bodywork - for example, Reich's process for loosening character armoring, and Jung's theory of a universal collective unconscious with its archetypal forces manifesting biologically, leading to soul growth and individuation. Fragmented ego states, archetypal forces, and introjected subpersonalities become conscious as messenger molecules and neural networks attempt to communicate and heal the mind-body split. The goal is integration leading to embodied wholeness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article explores the meaning and importance of myths in culture and the human psyche. It emphasizes that myths reflect essential aspects of culture and the psychic structure of individuals, and can define customs and beliefs, explain natural and psychological phenomena, reveal archetypes of the collective unconscious, and serve as a form of social communication. The article also analyzes the myth of Procne, which shows political, cultural, and psychic elements, and relates to gender violence and women's access to knowledge. It raises the importance of resolving the confusion between revenge and justice, and of learning to forgive and heal without silencing the victims. [Extracted from the article]

In modern science, the wolf archetype has psychological and cultural significance. Its study spans mythology, literature, and folklore, allowing for a comparative analysis of Nomad archetypes. Although the folklore archetype has been replaced by literary one, the wolf archetype's core remains unchanged. It has developed among various nations based on universal archetypes. Reconstruction and clarification of the wolf archetype, using modern research, made it possible to better understand the wolf totem of Nomads. The methodological basis of this article is a variety of methods; for example, the method of systematization has become an effective method for summarizing and grouping literary works concerning the concept of "Bori" from different countries of the world during the period spanning ancient times to the present by genre and thematic features. In this research article, the basis of archetypes preserved in our customs and traditions, culture, and literature since ancient times, the history of origin, formation, as the totem of the Turkic peoples, similarity and specificity of the use of the archetype "Bori" in other nations is determined by the historical and genetic method. The expected results of the study are to determine the formation of the archetype "Sky Wolf" as a totemic concept and its transformation into a symbolic image in literature, to analyze archetypal images related to the wolf totem around the world based on the comparison between specific literary works, and to study the meaning of the "Bori" (Wolf) totem in Kazakh literature as a sacred concept in the national consciousness.

Representation is key in the politics of mass-mediated consumer society. Although previous research has noted that representation in advertising generates greater societal visibility for people with disabilities, focus has largely been on negative unintended consequences from a psychological or socio-cultural perspective. The purpose of this study is to explore the complexities involved in the making of a collective psyche related to disability, pointing instead to how the psychic and the social are mutually constitutive. By focusing on market-mediated representation in the form of advertising campaigns, we highlight both potentials and pitfalls of social transformation such as reducing stigma. We use, as revelatory cases, two relatively recent campaigns that sought to include people with disabilities on the Swedish market. We build upon Abraham and Torok's psychoanalytic theorizing to offer a novel approach of studying market inclusion in the context of disability representation. By delineating the "social crypt," we elucidate two processes by which stigmatized narratives enter the public consciousness: incorporation (i.e., a process by which stigma is reproduced in the collective unconscious) and introjection (i.e., a form of gradual awareness leading to destigmatization). We find that the inclusion of disability in advertising can potentially work to reduce stigma, but also to inadvertently serve as a subtler form of market exclusion by intensifying the cultural semiotics of capitalized ableism.

From the very beginning there was sound, be it bang, Om, or Logos. Research reveals that plants as well as animals use sound to communicate. We live in a world of sound, be it from earth or sky, tides or storms, katydids or chickens. It informs us that a car or train is near or that a gardener or carpenter is at work. It lets us know if we are in danger, gives us means to express our emotions and values, and expresses our fantasies, visions, and images. Sound is the stuff of attachment and we learn to listen even before we are born. It touches us in our core, links us to one another in heart and body, and can help us heal. Sound and music are intimate conduits to the collective unconscious and carriers of archetypal motifs. For patients, music can birth new, previously unimaginable beginnings. Listening or playing an instrument can be healing and transformative. In an instant music can awaken our spirits, get us moving, bring on tears, take us to a holy place, or lull us to sleep. From the first cry of the newborn to the last breath and beat of a heart, we are enveloped in the rich gift of sound. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

She suggests that psychoanalysts are ideal professionals to become practitioners of psychedelic therapy and integration and argues that we should prepare to offer I psychedelic psychoanalysis i , i.e., psychoanalytic treatment that includes the use of psychedelics. The article is based on a psychoanalytic approach and aims at starting the discussion about psychoanalytically based psychedelic-assisted therapy. Rundel argues that for these reasons, psychoanalysis has much to offer the world of psychedelic therapy - and vice versa. [Extracted from the article]

Humanity continues to experience serious violations of human rights, and the recent critical events, like the COVID‐19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, seem to have directly or indirectly intensified the occurrence of violations of human rights like torture, enforced disappearances, human trafficking, gender‐based violence and war crimes. Can analytical psychology make a significant contribution to the prevention, treatment, remedying such violations, from the individual level to the most macro level of socio‐political systems? I will support the thesis that the Jungian concept of soul has a special role in such an endeavour. My proposal is that when a social terrifying threat, like in the case of widespread social violence, is perceived at the social level, the functioning of the individual Self and society may change dramatically. In particular, both lose their containing function and are subjected to an unconscious massive collective pressure to align themselves to a specific kind of functioning that I call monolithic functioning. It is the splintering of what I call the reflective triangle, which is illustrated here, and has an effect on societal, groupal, interpersonal and intrapsychic levels. Some vignettes from a clinical case of a patient who suffered torture and gender‐based violence are presented to illustrate how these human rights violations affect the three levels mentioned.

The study of religion from a Jungian perspective has been expanding in Brazil. The Jungian hermeneutic method is still little known. Thus, the article is characterized as theoretical, gathering important concepts in Jungian psychology, explaining how the symbolic hermeneutic method works, and discussing new methodological perspectives in Jungian research in dialogue with the contemporary world. The study also deals with the theme of religion, providing key concepts about the sacred. The results/analysis are related to the method of symbolic amplification of the narratives of São João do Guarani, a popular saint of the forest, worshipped in the Chico Mendes extractive reserve in Xapuri, Acre state. Mythical and symbolic metaphors are then applied to the narratives, considering the conceptual issue of archetype and collective unconscious, evoking the primary analogies and images that the tales produce.

The article analyzes populist trends in the modern social and political space of Ukraine, in particular, the process of introducing the myth of the cultural hero. The methodological foundation is Jungian philosophy, which recognizes that social activity is caused by the motivational forces of the collective unconscious (C. Jung, E. Fromm, J. Campbell). The hypothesis is put forward that the political choice of the electorate is a manifestation of the objectification of the universal cross-cultural myth. During the analysis of the architectonics of the corresponding myth, 11 mythologemes were found, combined into a narrative about the evolution of a prominent person. The presence of these mythologemes in the television series "Servant of the People", which contributed to the victory of the young actor Vol. Zelensky in the presidential elections of 2019, was traced. It is concluded that the mentioned cinematographic product covertly influenced the electoral position, forming it by means of instrumental labelling based on a myth imprinted in the subconscious.

This article explores the intersection of synodality and sisterhood in women's religious life, highlighting the importance of recognizing women's distinct experiences and perspectives. The reflection is based on the understanding that historical modes of interpretation still permeate the collective unconscious, hindering the legitimacy of women's specific experiences. Addressing the need to broaden horizons in the search for meaning in life, the text highlights synodality as an opportunity to invest in the present, aligning with the call to communion and discernment. Each person in this project with their leaders is challenged to be a bearer of hope, revealing “faces of light” on the path to be followed in synodality. It is questioned whether synodality will include sisterhood, arguing that language and attitudes must reflect an essential change in thinking, promoting an inclusive semantics. The importance of sorority as the feminine of fraternity stands out, demanding a distinct understanding of the female experience. The article highlights the need to rediscover and value the Church as an "inclusive home", emphasizing the importance of sharing and mutual recognition. The author proposes a path to return to authenticity and simplicity, moving away from clerical and patriarchal structures. Furthermore, the text explores the idea of “living at home without feeling at home”, citing Pope Francis, and highlights the importance of commensality as a fundamental element in building authentic communities. The summary concludes by highlighting the need to embrace vulnerability, recognizing that transformation and true happiness arise from authenticity and mutual acceptance. Sisterhood in synodality is presented as a profound dimension in mutual learning, promoting equal dignity between men and women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Jung’s concept of the collective unconscious is grounded in the concept of archetype, which he derived from Neoplatonic philosophy. This term has penetrated into subsequent psychological and futurological concepts, becoming popular nowadays in the context of research on culture due to its connection with the symbol, myth, image. Most researchers of Jung’s work forget that this concept appeared in his texts relatively late, and at that time the psychiatrist had already been developing his thought for almost twenty years. He created the concept of the collective unconscious and its main assumptions without this seemingly key concept. Others were used instead, i.e. the primary image, pre-image, imago, psychic dominant. The aim of the article is to show the differences in meaning between the term archetype and earlier concepts, to explain its relationship with the image, and to indicate the philosophical and anthropological grounds on which Jung based his psychoanalytic thought.

Neurotargeting prioritizes emotions in understanding collective unconscious and individual behavior. Comparative emotive linguistics reveals cross-cultural emotional expression variations. Despite extensive emotion research, gaps remain due to differing response norms. Psychology understands emotions well, but lacks universal classification, hindering linguistic description. Confusion between emotion and emotive obscures psychophysiological and verbal distinctions. Nonverbal emotives, reflecting emotions, require analysis of generation and expression mechanisms. This study examines color's role in conveying negative emotions in Kazakh writer A. Nurpeisov's "Blood and Sweat" and American writer T. Dreiser's "Trilogy of Desire." Authors use linguistic and nonverbal methods to portray emotions. Hypothesis: color as emotive state designation functions with "permissible-unacceptable" and "good-bad" evaluations, evident in shaping emotional reality perception. Analyzing coloristic negative emotives uncovers ethno-cultural metaphorical models, connecting emotive coloronyms with basic emotional concepts. Findings aid standardizing cognitive mechanisms for understanding mental experiences and comparative emotive linguistic terminology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Theories of poetry are working wonder as far as the matter of approaching a set destination is concerned. Poetry must come across the methodology for new construction of timeworn thoughts. The reconstructed feelings and thoughts have become the significant necessity of so called contemporary societies. Several new theorists through their philosophical approaches hint the instinctual behaviour of modern Man, which took him back to his jungle life. If poets want to achieve their internal human freedom they must analyse thoroughly the concepts of collective unconscious, Unconscious and Mythical determinism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Black women and Black men gave birth to white children who suppose to be brothers to Black children. But over thousands of years in isolation, white people developed fictitious theories to make themselves look different and distinct. The Neanderthals they tend to associate themselves with through sexual contact left no civilization, so it is difficult to judge the outcome of this sexual relationship. While the paintings in the caves in modern France look suspicious, Black people, on the other hand, built civilizations all over the planet: Ancient Egyptians, Nubians, the Incas, Ancient Rome, Mesopotamia, Indian Dravidians, etc. Evidence from history through the Roman Empire shows that White people were human beings like all others and, therefore, they did not treat them differently. The investigation used cognitive psychology and neurobiology perspectives to explain the successful experiences of Germanic tribes and the Slavs in Central Asia. The theoretical investigation uses existing data and argues that they are not distinct though there had been a mixture of genes with some tribes in Central Asia. Europeans' use of their local languages and the employment of scientific theories and methods of inquiry have something to do with their intelligence and overall success in the world. The relegation of the religion's authority and the replacement with reason and science methods has enabled Europeans to become successful with cognitive intelligence. Intelligence has something to do with knowledge acquisition with the blood language and sciences in imbibing knowledge. Where human beings use their local languages and the addition of the methods of scientific inquiry, there will be marginal differences in intelligence acquisition. The discoveries the researchers Paul Broca and Carl Wernicke made with neurobiology show that language speaking is a complex human phenomenon that human beings should take seriously in daily discourses. No wonder it gave the Europeans unique problems when they had to depend on Latin to imbibe knowledge and use it to carry out responsibilities. Intelligence has something to do with the blood language, local language, or culturally provided language in imbibing knowledge in the physical world. Scientific theories and appropriate scientific methods should be driven by the use of Mathematics and logic. Emerging technological societies, such as China, Malaysia, Singapore, etc., testify to these modern methods of reaching progress in education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The strandentwining intertext of Finnegans Wake both obscures and unveils meaning. The cultural ramifications of James Joyce's intertext, however, run deep, as he subjects the relevant intertexts to subsequent rewritings in order to multiply meaning. In such context, intertextuality in itself can be likened to a translation, whereby otherness is adapted into a literary space to enable the construction or reconstruction of new significance, thus facilitating a far-reaching cross-cultural dialogue; both author and readers, in turn, assume the role of poeta doctus and litteratus doctus, respectively. Accordingly, the intertexts Joyce has sewn into the text are in constant transformation both via their medium and their audience, as is the case with the Viconian intertext. Giambattista Vico's The New Science was carefully integrated by Joyce into Finnegans Wake1 and adapted to Irish society; Vico's philosophical thought, which permeates the Wake, provides structure and enables the layering of intertextual units, thus multiplying significations and intended meanings. Vico's theories on language and history enable diachronic and anachronic explorations within the Wake, as well as a simultaneous existence of different systems of thought. Joyce's use of the thunderwords as a primal linguistic expression, coupled with his creative cultural exploits and the systematic structuring of the Wake find their origin in Vico' The New Science.
