In this thesis, I focus on the gender analysis of a book called Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pincola Estes. In my opinion, this book can be used both as study material and in one's personal life since it's a interpretative essayist which is in between a scientific text and fiction. In my thesis, I expand theories of Annis Pratt, Pam Morris, and Judith Fetterley. Since Estes puts a lot of focus onto the importance of archetypes I interpret them in the theoretical part and afterward, I put my full focus onto them in the analytical part of the thesis. Estes is strongly influenced by the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung, because of this I focus on the subject, about which Jung's classical texts are about and which concepts can be taken subversive. At the same time, I am trying to point out in what sense was the Estés approach similar or vice versa is different from the other authors dealing with the archetypal issue. While working on the other topics mentioned above I am working on identifying other concepts, mainly feminist based theories, which influenced the discourse of the text. The main goal of this thesis is not a literary analysis of every single story, but a critical evaluation of how the author interprets the stories and what is the meaning of each archetype. While...

Many recent studies confirm that the fantasy genre is based on ancient myths. Contemporary authors of fiction create new versions of myths, often using ancient “natural” and cultural symbols. Neil Gaiman is one of these tellers of modern myth. His works offer multiple possibilities for interpretation of well-known stories, reworked in a new way and filled with new layers of significance. Using Jungian archetypes as a prism for the analysis, this essay focuses on the possibility to relate the motif of the Triple Goddess, a triad of magical or divine female figures, present in many of the Western Europe mythologies, to female characters from Neil Gaiman’s Snow, Glass, Apples and The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Through a close reading of selected passages of the text, this essay exemplifies how Neil Gaiman uses archaic symbols and the motif of the Triple Goddess to connect his audience to the collective unconscious via manifestations of the anima archetype, one of many aspects of the collective unconscious. / Flera nutida studier slår fast att fantasigenren har sitt ursprung i gamla myter. Samtida författare i genren skapar nya myter och använder ofta symboler från gamla kulturer och naturfenomen. En av dessa författare är Neil Gaiman, en förmedlare av moderna myter. Välkända berättelser och historier får ett nytt liv genom hans kreativa stil och fantasi, fyllda med nya betydelser och tolkas ur många olika synvinklar. Genom användningen av Jungianska arketyper som en analytisk metod, fokuserar denna uppsatsen på att koppla den Tredelade gudinnan med kvinnliga karaktärer i Neil Gaimans Snow, Glass, Apples och The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Den Tredelade gudinnan är förknippad med en triad av magiska och gudomliga kvinnliga figurer, närvarande i flera västeuropeiska mytologier. Genom när läsning av särskilda avsnitt i texten, exemplifieras hur Gaiman använder arkaiska symboler för att koppla läsaren till det kollektiva omedvetna. Dessutom tydliggörs likheten mellan den Tredelade gudinnans personifikation och manifestationer av arketypen anima, som en av flera aspekter av det kollektiva omedvetna.

The present MA thesis focuses on the development of the archetype of the Southern Belle in the selected works of American fiction, namely John Pendleton Kennedy's Swallow Barn, William Faulkner's Sanctuary and Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. The main task is to explore how the archetype of the Southern Belle was constructed and (if) transgressed at different times in the American literary tradition from the period of antebellum South to the era of the Southern Renaissance. Since the archetype of the Southern Belle is connected with the white upper class society it will be also discussed in this respect. By comparing texts from different historical periods I want to compare the different nature of cultural and social conditions that contributed and informed the meaning and the function of the Southern Belle. Moreover, by selecting Southern woman writer and Southern male writers respectively I want to compare female and male perspective on the literary representation of the Southern Belle. The first chapter briefly addresses the development of the American South as a region with a distinct social structure and cultural values and attempts to position the figure of the Southern Belle within that socio-historical context. Chapters three, four and five introduce and analyze the archetype of the...

This work deals with characteristics of Greek mythology and tries to define a myth and to describe the differences between myths and fairy tales. It focuses on an origin and a history of myths, on gods and on heroes. My work also examines a concept of collective unconscious and archetypes, that appears in antique mythology (especially the archetype of a hero). Based on these findings, this work forms characteristic features of heroes, that are applied on the Greek heroes Odysseus and Achilles. Their life stories prove they deserve to be considered as archetypes of heroes. A survey, that deals with a concept of heroism according to contemporary young people, is also part of the work. It reflects not just the teenagers' image of a hero, but it examines their knowledge of Greek mythology, too.

[pt] Este trabalho propõe uma análise conceitual de três noções sobre as quais se apóia grande parte da psicologia de Carl Gustav Jung, a saber: arquétipo, inconsciente coletivo e si- mesmo (Selbst). Esta análise objetiva buscar uma melhor compreensão da estrutura desta teoria, bem como permitir uma aproximação dos possíveis motivos das reservas do meio acadêmico no que diz respeito à aceitação da teoria de Jung. / [fr] Ce travail propose une analyse conceptuelle de trois notions sur lesquelles se fonde une grande part de la psychologie de Carl Gustav Jung, - savoir: archétype, inconscient collectif et soi (Selbst). Cette analyse a pour but d assurer une meilleure compréhension de la structure de cette théorie, ainsi que de permettre une approche des raisons qui semblent determiner l accueil mitigé que la psychologie de Jung reçoit encore au niveau de l enseignement à l université.

Dans notre travail qui porte sur les productions romanesques majeures de Marguerite Yourcenar, nous nous sommes proposé de suivre deux axes d’investigation : d’un côté, l’écriture de l’histoire, qui s’avère être indissolublement liée à une vision mythique du monde ; et de l’autre, l’écriture de soi, celle-ci amplement définie par les conceptions empruntées au bouddhisme qui cherchent à dénoncer l’illusion du « je » et la vacuité substantielle de toute notion identitaire. Ceci dit, nous avons tâché de montrer que l’écriture autobiographique de notre auteur devient amplement problématisée pour être muée enfin en une écriture hétérobiographique. De même, nous avons essayé de dégager une certaine réversibilité de thèmes et de procédés narratifs qui est à l’origine de la fluctuation générique des œuvres romanesques de M. Yourcenar / In our paper, we suggest two planes of the examination of Marguerite Yourcenar’s major novels: on the one hand, her novels are seen as a form of a narrative indistinguishably associated with a mythic vision of the world; on the other hand, they are seen as the writing of the self, utterly defined by the concepts based on Buddhism that denounce the illusion of ‘’I’’ and substantially leave out the notion of identity. Having stated this, we endeavor to show that the autobiographical writing of the author in question becomes greatly problematized as it is being misinterpreted as a heterobiographic piece of writing. We have also tried to clear out some uncertainties about themes and narrative procedures which are the basis of generic fluctuations of Marguerite Yourcenar’s novels

Esta tese procura registrar uma história de vida articulada por imagens da literatura apropriadas pela subjetividade no sentido de uma educação do cultivo da alma. Para isso, lanço-me, a partir de alguns trajetos de leitura, a um percurso teórico-analítico de cunho antropoliterário, no qual o texto é compreendido como mito e incorporado à história de vida do leitor como mediador simbólico inter e intrasubjetivo, cuja abertura semântica deve-se justamente à presença da imagem arquetípica segundo noção de James Hillman (1995:10). Os potenciais pedagógicos da literatura são veiculados pelas imagens portadoras do arquétipo como \"janelas de aprendizagem\" (Paula Carvalho) que permitem que o leitor transite do texto à existência e de volta, num circuito que o auxilia a promover a equilibração de polaridades e a elaboração criativa da alteridade representada, em última instância, pelo inconsciente, no sentido da construção da identidade do ego e em direção à individuação. São eixos organizadores: (1) a Arquetipologia Geral no contexto da Teoria Geral do Imaginário, de Gilbert Durand; (2) a noção de imagem no contexto da Psicologia Arquetípica, segundo James Hillman e (3) a noção de Educação Fática em José Carlos de Paula Carvalho. A partir de uma perspectiva hermenêutica que procura a abertura do discursivo rumo ao existencial (Paula Carvalho, 1998:59), recolho imagens de três obras clássicas da literatura, lidas por mim aos treze anos de idade, e que me conduziram na direção da descoberta da imagem essencial - a da educadora -, processo no qual enxergo a finalidade última da educação. As referidas obras lidas à margem da escola tornaram-se especialmente significativas devido à dinâmica proposta pela dimensão escolar oficial, também ela imprescindível para que a experiência com o significado se construísse. Retorno assim a Madame Bovary, de Gustave Flaubert, como exemplo de uma literatura para a formação da sensibilidade heróica; ao Decamerão, de Giovanni Boccaccio, como exemplo de uma literatura para a formação da sensibilidade mística e a O morro dos ventos uivantes, de Emily Brontë, como exemplo de uma literatura para a formação da sensibilidade dramática. / This present study tries to register images of a life history articulated by images of the literature - these latter ones appropriated by the subjectivity towards an education of the soul. Being so, I launch myself, starting from my experiences as a reader, into a theoretical-analytical path based on an anthropo-literary view in which literature is understood as myth and life history, i.e., as inter and intra-subjective symbolic mediator whose semantic openness is due mostly to the presence of the archetypal image - according to James Hillman\'s denomination ( 1995, 10). The pedagogical potentials of the literature are, in this way, transmitted by the images bearing an archetypal meaning that circulates from the text towards the life of the reader, to promote the equilibrium of the polarities, through the creative elaboration of alterity represented by the unconscious, in the construction of the ego´s identity. The thematic axe\'s that organize this study are: 1) The General Archetypology, of Gilbert Durand (1997); 2) the notion of image according to the Archetypal Psychology, of James Hillman (1997b). From an hermeneutic perspective, which looks for an openness that goes from the discourse towards the existential (Paula Carvalho, 1998, 59), I get images from three classical novels, in order to understand themselves in the convergence of life with reading, even guiding me to the direction of the discovery of my own essential image or daimon - in which I recognize the objective of education. The mentioned novels were read apart from school. Nevertheless, they became specially significant in my educational process due to the dynamism proposed by the official schooling dimension - also completely necessary so that this experience with meaning could be built. So, I come back to Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert, as an example of a literature that forms the heroic sensibility; to Decameron, by Giovanni Bocaccio, as an example of a literature that forms the mystic sensibility; to O morro dos ventos uivantes, by Emily Brontë, as an example of a literature that forms the dramatic sensibility.

Organized in ten chapters, the study begins with a brief introduction where a revision of the Jungian and the psychoanalytic literatures that make reference to concepts from Cognitive Linguistics is made, followed by a chapter that contains a concise historical introduction to Cognitive Linguistics where some of the assumptions of this field of research are exposed and compared to other theoretical approaches to linguistics. The third chapter introduces the concepts of Embodied Realism, embodied mind and Cognitive Unconscious, which support Cognitive Semantics ontology and epistemology and, in the fourth chapter, the Image Schemas Theory is exposed with an emphasis on its Kantian inspiration. The fifth chapter succinctly presents the Conceptual Metaphor Theory, including its integrated primary metaphor version, and some introductory aspects of the Conceptual Metonymy Theory. The following chapter introduces the Mental Spaces and the Conceptual Blending Theory. In the seventh chapter, a comparison between the Cognitive Semantics ontology and epistemology and its Jungian counterparts is made. In the eigth chapter, the equiparation made by Jean Knox (2005) between the Jungian concept of archetype and the Cognitive Linguistics concept of image schemas is analyzed. In the ninth chapter, the following Jungian concepts sign, allegory, symbol, thought, reason and phantasy are analyzed based on the theories presented in the previous chapters. Some of the conclusions of this analysis, presented in the last chapter of this thesis, are: (1) the opposition between consciousness and unconscious advocated by Jung in most of his works is not so radical: there is always an unconscious and subliminal dimension in all concepts; (2) the division between directed thinking and undirected thinking as stipulated by Jung in 1911, when his Psychology of the Unconscious was published, cannot be sustained in the face of the researches and formulations of Cognitive Linguistics; (3) Cognitive Linguistics can offer to Jungian Psychology a theoretical basis for the formulation of an embodied theory of the symbol / Este estudo tem como objetivo fazer uma releitura de alguns dos principais conceitos da Psicologia Junguiana à luz da Linguística Cognitiva, em especial, da teoria dos esquemas imagéticos, da metáfora conceitual, da metonímia conceitual e da mesclagem conceitual e apresentar a Linguística Cognitiva como um campo de estudo que pode fornecer importantes contribuições teóricas e práticas à Psicologia Junguiana. Organizado em dez capítulos, o estudo começa com uma breve introdução em que é apresentada uma revisão das bibliografias junguiana e psicanalítica que fazem uso de conceitos da Linguística Cognitiva, seguindo-se a ela um capítulo com uma concisa introdução histórica acerca da Linguística Cognitiva em que alguns pressupostos desse campo de investigação são expostos e comparados com outras abordagens teóricas da Linguística. No capítulo terceiro, são introduzidos os conceitos de Realismo Corporificado, de mente corporificada e de Inconsciente Cognitivo, que sustentam a visão de mundo e a epistemologia da Semântica Cognitiva. No capítulo quarto, é exposta a Teoria dos Esquemas Imagéticos dando-se uma ênfase na sua inspiração kantiana. No quinto capítulo, são apresentados de forma sucinta a Teoria da Metáfora Conceitual, já na sua versão de Teoria Integrada da Metáfora Primária, e aspectos introdutórios da Teoria da Metonímia Conceitual. No capítulo seguinte, são introduzidas a Teoria dos Espaços Mentais e da Mesclagem Conceitual. No capítulo sétimo, faz-se uma comparação entre a ontologia e a epistemologia da Semântica Cognitiva e as suas contrapartes junguianas. No capítulo oitavo, é analisada a equiparação feita por Jean Knox entre o conceito junguiano de arquétipo e o conceito da Linguística Cognitiva de esquema imagético. No nono capítulo, os conceitos junguianos de signo, alegoria, símbolo, pensamento, razão e fantasia são analisados à luz das teorias apresentadas nos capítulos anteriores. Algumas das conclusões advindas dessa análise, apresentadas no último capítulo da tese, são: (1) a oposição entre consciente e inconsciente preconizada por Jung em boa parte de sua obra não é tão radical, havendo sempre uma dimensão inconsciente e subliminar em todos os conceitos; (2) a divisão entre pensamento dirigido e pensamento não dirigido tal como estipulada por Jung em 1911, quando da publicação do seu Psicologia do Inconsciente, não se sustenta face às pesquisas e formulações da Linguística Cognitiva; (3) a Linguística Cognitiva pode oferecer à Psicologia Junguiana uma base teórica para a formulação de uma teoria corporificada do símbolo

The material studied was extracted of the book of Jo inserted in the Holy Bible. The author intends to analyze, with this essay, the suffering of a just, knowing the symptoms came from trauma; identifying the levels of mourning; recognizing the perceptions of this character about himself, his suffering, people around him and his divinity; as well as analyzing the suffering in three dimensions: physical, psychical and spiritual. Through the reading of the myth, the author intends to identify the archetypal images expressed both in speech and in Jo s actions. Using these analyses as a starting point it is also possible to notice the model of suffering of a just, his or her difficulties, pain, as well as the process of overcoming the mourning and the reintegration of his physical and spiritual health. / Esta dissertação objetiva apresentar as imagens arquetípicas do sofrimento do justo desveladas pelo mito de Jó.

G. Jung and other authors of Analytical Psychology. A qualitative method of research is used, through a bibliographical review of the CAPES and Scielo portal websites, articles and books on the approach. To illustrate the question of fear Chico Buarque de Holanda s tale Little Yellow Riding Hood is used. It is concluded that fear may be a protective and disturbing emotion of the ego, as well as a signal of the changes in the stages of development. The study finishes pointing out the meanings of fear in the Jungian clinic, as well was the ways of dealing with it / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo formular hipóteses acerca do medo, assim como pensar sobre ele no contexto clínico, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o conceito do medo nas obras coligidas de C. G. Jung e outros autores da Psicologia Analítica. Utiliza-se o método qualitativo de pesquisa, por meio de revisão bibliográfica nos sites portal CAPES e Scielo, artigos e livros da abordagem. Para ilustrar a questão do medo usamos o conto Chapeuzinho Amarelo, de Chico Buarque de Holanda. Concluiu-se que o medo pode ser uma emoção protetora ou perturbadora do eu, assim como sinalização das mudanças nas etapas do desenvolvimento. O estudo finaliza ressaltando os significados do medo na clínica junguiana, assim como modos de se lidar com ele
