It begins with an exploration of the theoretical foundations on the experience of believing, first, within the Sciences of Religion, then according to the vision of psychoanalysis. The theoretical foundation was taken from Freudian psychoanalysis and psychoanalysis Winnicottian not only from the look of theirs creators, as well as from contemporary s psychoanalysts. The second chapter focuses on the discussion about the representation of God in the human psyche, as psychoanalytic approach. The central themes are the illusion, that takes a completely different treatment by Freud and Winnicott, and the issues involved in the formation of identity and alterity, from both theoretical views.The third and final chapter is devoted to the psychic function of belief. It seeks toinvestigate the various types of assistance received by the individual who believes in God. In there, is made a brief analysis of the benefits and harmsimposedonto the individual who has a religious belief. At the end is taken a brief reflection about the non-religious belief. / A Função Psíquica do Crer é uma pesquisa empreendida com o objetivo de analisar a importância do crer para o ser humano. Inicia-se com uma exploração dos fundamentos teóricos sobre a experiência do crer, primeiramente dentro das Ciências da Religião e, depois, segundo a visão da Psicanálise. Tomou-se a fundamentação teórica fornecida pela Psicanálise Freudiana e pela Psicanálise Winnicottiana a partir não só dos olhares dos seus criadores, como também de psicanalistas contemporâneos. O segundo Capítulo foca na discussão a respeito da representação de Deus no psiquismo humano,conforme a abordagem psicanalítica. São temas centrais a ilusão, que recebe um tratamento completamente diferenciado por Freud e por Winnicott, e as questões envolvidas na constituição da identidade e da alteridade, a partir das duas concepções teóricas. O terceiro e último Capítulo é dedicado à função psíquica do crer. Procura-se nele fazer uma apreciação sobre os diversos tipos de ajuda que recebe o indivíduo pelo fato de crer em Deus. É feita uma breve análise sobre os benefícios e os malefícios recebidos pelo indivíduo que tem uma crença religiosa e, ao final, uma sucinta reflexão sobre o crer não religioso.

Aims: To analyze the relation between vocal selfperception and psyche in a group of male adolescents in process of voice change. Method: A qualitative study which followed ethical criteria of human research. Subjects: 06 adolescents between 13.5 and 14.11 years old, in the voice change phase, attending the 8th grade class of a São Paulo's public school. Procedures: 1. clinical assessment. 2. Application of the Descriptive Terms for Voice / TDV (Boone, 1991) to evaluate the vocal self-perception before and after interventions by the technique of Focal Group. 3. Three group meetings to talk about adolescence's and puberty's associated changes, the voice change process and its impact on body image and identity (organic, subjective and social) that came with the puberty. The reports of the subjects were recorded on audio and fully transcribed. The analysis of the material consisted in the categorization of meaning's nucleus whose occurrences were considered relevant to the research. The answers to TDV were recorded in a specific spreadsheet. Results: predominant feelings of estrangement/discomfort about the experience of adolescence generated by new affective and behavioral demands, especially in the interaction with their parents. The subjects reported difficulties of adaptation to the body changes, especially the modifications in the vocal quality and its negative impact on conversation partners. In the results of TDV (before and after the group intervention), it's the psychosocial aspects of that impact that predominates. The negative vocal attributes increased in the post-intervention application. Conclusion: the results show that changes in the pattern of the voice of the adolescents reverberate in his psychic functioning and generate impact in their vocal self-perception, which reaffirm the biopsychic character inherent to the human voice / esta pesquisa trata de questões que envolvem o adolescer, o processo de muda vocal e o psiquismo; a partir de conexões entre Fonoaudiologia e Psicanálise. Objetivo: analisar as relações entre autopercepção vocal e psiquismo em grupo de adolescentes do sexo masculino na muda vocal. Método: estudo qualitativo, que obedeceu critérios éticos de pesquisas com seres humanos. Casuística: 06 adolescentes com idades entre 13,5 anos e 14,11 anos na fase de muda vocal, que frequentam a 8ª série do ensino fundamental de uma Escola da Rede Pública de Ensino na cidade de São Paulo. Procedimento: 1. avaliação fonoaudiológica. 2. aplicação do instrumento Termos Descritivos para a Voz/TDV (Boone, 1991) para avaliação da autopercepção vocal, antes e após intervenções realizadas pela técnica de Grupo Focal. 3. Três encontros grupais que abordaram adolescência e mudanças pubertárias associadas, processo de muda vocal e suas repercussões na imagem corporal e reverberações identitárias (orgânicas, subjetivas e sociais) decorrentes da adolescência. Os relatos dos sujeitos foram gravados em áudio e integralmente transcritos. A análise do material consistiu na categorização de núcleos de sentido cujas ocorrências foram consideradas relevantes para o objetivo da pesquisa. As respostas ao TDV foram registradas em planilha específica. Resultados: predominam sensações de estranhamento/incômodo sobre a vivência do adolescer; geradas pelas novas demandas afetivas e comportamentais, principalmente na interação com os pais. Os sujeitos relataram dificuldades de adaptação às mudanças corporais, salientando as alterações na qualidade vocal e seu impacto negativo nos interlocutores. Nos resultados do TDV (antes e após intervenção grupal) predominam os aspectos psicossociais relativos a esse impacto. Os atributos vocais negativos aumentaram na aplicação pós-intervenção. Conclusão: os resultados evidenciam que as mudanças no padrão da voz dos adolescentes pesquisados reverberam em seu funcionamento psíquico e geram impacto na autopercepção vocal dos mesmos. Reafirmando assim, o caráter biopsíquico inerente à voz humana

Comment une figure antique comme celle de Psyché a-t-elle su trouver une place dans les littératures de langue anglaise? La réponse est multiple car les auteurs anglophones ont multiplié les approches, mais souvent en rapport avec la notion d'idéal. En effet, au fil des siècles, le mythe de Psyché s’est peu à peu inscrit dans une tradition idéaliste faisant de cette déesse une figure à la fois idéalisée, et à laquelle on a fait correspondre différents idéaux. Mais à l’inverse, Psyché a aussi vu son image être ternie. De nombreux auteurs ont voulu rompre avec la tradition idéaliste en cherchant à détourner l’histoire. Cette lecture nouvelle est souvent fondée sur une décomposition physique et morale du personnage. Cette dégradation lui permet alors de s’extraire du carcan que lui imposaient ses formes trop idéalisées, et d’investir de nouveaux champs littéraires plus modernes, dans des versions anti-idéalisées de ses aventures et de son mariage avec Cupidon. / How did an antique character such as Psyche, with a Mediterranean background, find a place within English-language literatures? English-writing authors have in fact multiplied the ways in which they have approached and ceaselessly reinvented the myth, generally around the notion of ideal. Indeed, throughout the centuries, the myth gradually brought about an idealistic tradition whereby this goddess became a figure both idealised and which was made to fit into various ideals.But conversely, Psyche also had this perfect image tarnished. Many writers decided to part with this idealistic tradition, looking for ways in which to distort the story. This rewriting is often based on a physical and moral decomposition of the character. This degradation thus releases her from her previous idealised and constraining forms, and enables her to enter new literary and modern fields, with anti-idealised versions of both her adventures and her marriage to Cupid.

[pt] Para Freud, o conceito de pulsão é um dos mais importantes da psicanálise e é imprescindível à psicologia. A despeito de sua relevância e centralidade conceituais, a obscuridade e a imprecisão que permeiam essa definição sempre levantaram questões controversas. A teoria das pulsões sofreu remanejamentos, acréscimos e correções ao longo da produção freudiana e ainda assim permaneceu, segundo o próprio autor, incompleta. Neste trabalho, a apresentação do conceito spinozano de potência serve como ponto de partida para a leitura e sistematização do conceito de pulsão em Freud. A persistência do antigo problema da relação entre a mente e o corpo explica, em parte, a retomada e o interesse atual pelo pensamento de Spinoza. Para o filósofo, mente e corpo são expressões de uma substância única – indivisíveis, por um lado, mas com causalidades próprias a cada um, por outro. Um dos conceitos chaves desta filosofia é o de potência, cuja utilização nesta pesquisa tem o intuito de oferecer uma leitura a mais para o conceito de pulsão, por excelência situado na fronteira entre o psíquico e o somático. O eixo de convergência entre os dois conceitos trabalhados reside principalmente no fato de se tratarem de forças constitutivas, que engendram o vivo e que apresentam variações intensivas. A partir dessa semelhança, são abordadas ainda as questões da impossibilidade de um governo soberano consciente sobre as causas inconscientes que movem o sujeito, e da produção do aparelho psíquico como um trabalho do corpo. / [en] According to Freud, the concept of drive is one of the most important of psychoanalysis and it is essential for psychology. Despite its conceptual relevance and centrality, the obscurity and vagueness that permeates this definition always raised controversial issues. The theory of drives suffered rearrangements, additions and corrections throughout the freudian production and still remained, according to the author, incomplete. In this work, the presentation of Spinoza’s concept of potency serves as a starting point for reading and systematization of Freud’s concept of drive. The persistence of the old problem concerning the relation between mind and body explains, partly, the current interest in the thought of Spinoza. For the philosopher, mind and body are expressions of a unique substance - indivisible, in one hand, but with proper causalities of each one, in the other. The potency, one of the key concepts in this philosophy, is used in this research with aim to provide an extra view of the drive’s concept, which definition is at the center of the mind-body problem. The axis of convergence between these two concepts mainly lies in the fact that are both constituent forces, that engender the human and that they present intensive variations. Starting from this similarity, other issues are also managed: the issue of lack of free will and the possibility of thinking the psychic apparatus as a work performed by the body.

The thesis explores how elemental architecture in collaboration with the Shield can manifest a threshold condition in which a modern day hero myth can be enacted in the Canadian wilderness. Through the lens of Joseph Campbell, Tom Thomson and the archetypal structures of the Finns and Algonkians, a design proposal is derived for a Waterway Park in the Algonquin region that expands the mandate of the Ontario Parks System. In the realm of psychology, Carl Gustav Jung defines individuation as a universal quest that encourages facing and overcoming ones internal demons in order to live a more integrated existence. Located in Oxtongue River Ragged Falls Provincial Park, this proposed experimental pilgrimage retreat connects a series of primary and secondary paths to cabins, a sweat lodge and a chapel. This model illustrates a method of inhabiting a protected wilderness site that can be applied to existing and future Parks to inspire a condition of corporeal and spiritual rejuvenation in Ontario’s near North.

A philosophical and philological commentary on Cicero, first book of the Tusculan Disputations.

The purpose of the present paper was to explore a new approach to the notions of time, temporality, and space within modernist literature, the distinction of the natural, conceptual, and fictional time as well as the alterations of time due to the deictic centre. The investigation of the above-mentioned issues was based on the modernist novel To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. The main method chosen for the study was content analysis. The research of time and space shift in the given novel is grounded on several overlapping critical theories: Practical Criticism, which comprises Formalist and New Critical ideas, Psychoanalysis, and the Theory of Narratology. The research demonstrated that Virginia Woolf attempted to structure her novel outside the conventional clock of time treatment because it was too inflexible to be suitable for a writer who believed that time represented in fiction should reflect the way time influences and is influenced by human lives. The given novel is a conspicuous example of an innovative concept of time and space presented by the author who gave preference to the abstract inner time rather than to that of the outer world and who come closer than any other writer to expressing time as it actually is experienced in human mind. The present study extended the existing knowledge of the psychological background, the transitivity and variability of time issues, and of the specific features the modern narrative in the novel.

Analizei buvo pasirinktas Virdžinijos Vulf moderinistinis romanas „Į švyturį“, kuriame atsispindi modernistinis požiūris į žmogų ir jį supančią tikrovę. Kurdama savo veikėjų paveikslus, rašytoja įtaigiai atskleidė ir parodė, kad žmogaus gyvenimą pirmiausia lemia ne išorinė aplinka, bet mintyse, pasąmonėje vykstantys virsmai, kutrių fizinę išraišką parodo konkretūs veiksmai ir poelgiai. Modernizmo žmogus parodomas kaip praradęs tradicines pasaulio suvokimo atramas, likęs akistatoje su savo intymiausias patyrimais, išgyvenantis savo būtį kaip izoliuotą, atskirtą nuo viso pasaulio, pasimetusią tarp fantazijos ir realybės. Savo tyrimu siekiau įrodyti, kad Virdžinijos Vulf veikėjai analizuojamame romane save iškelia kaip esminį būties centrą ir didžiausią vertybę, nepavaldžią laiko ir erdvės matmenims, bet tuo pačiu metu susiduria su savo sudėtingu ribotu vidiniu pasauliu – suskilusiu, nuolat kintančiu, klaidinančiu, susidedančiu iš subjektyvių greit kintančių patirties fragmentų. Romane autorė atskleidė ir modernistinio naratyvo ypatumus - jos rašymo stilių galima laiktyi savita kalbine revoliucija, kuri padėjo atskleisti giliausius veikėjų sąmonės klodus pritaikant sąmonės srauto techniką bei vidinius monologus.

<p>Abstract</p><p>Exploring two main lines of inquiry, this dissertation investigates the style and aesthetic of the music of Joseph Joachim (1831-1907) and its references to composers such as Brahms, Liszt, Schumann, and Beethoven. First, rather than simply accepting the image of Joachim as the great nineteenth-century violinist and collaborator of Johannes Brahms who advocated the "canonization of the music of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms," I ask who Joachim was in light of his own compositions and literary circle. Especially significant was his "soul mate" Gisela von Arnim (daughter of Bettine von Arnim), from the second generation of two major literary "institutions" - the Grimm brothers and Arnim/Brentano, the Des Knaben Wunderhorn-collectors. Joachim and Gisela's literary role-play throws light on her function as his inspiration and muse. Second, each chapter investigates Joachim's works as "psychological music," the term he himself applied. Given that psychology was not yet an established academic discipline in the 1850s, Joachim's use of "psychological" is all the more intriguing. </p><p>Sources including archival letters, manuscripts, and Joachim's published correspondence, as well as his compositions from (or begun) in the 1850s, reveal that "psychological music" was both a compositional approach and an aesthetic. Extensively using ciphers, anagrams, song quotations, literary titles and allusions, and occasionally melodramatic elements, Joachim's compositional aesthetic conflicted with his "absolute" aesthetic as a violinist in the later 19th century. </p><p>Joachim's relatively strict use of form, his idiosyncratic use of "motivic transformation," and his expressive studies of literary/historical characters in his overtures separated him from Liszt. Furthermore, while Joachim navigated harmony in ways criticized by Louis Spohr and contemporary critics as "ear-tearing harshness" (1852), the composer maintained an almost consistently symmetrical ("four-square") syntax. Joachim's "psychological" aesthetic was typified by idiosyncratic, individual stylistic features like "trapped motives," captured by (sometimes obsessive) repetition, and he applied ciphers much more conspicuously than did Schumann. In the end, Joachim's "psychological music" displays three overarching features: first, extramusical programs from autobiographical and/or literary contexts; second, the implicit or explicit dedication of the works to Gisela von Arnim; and third, supporting correspondence marking the work as an "outlet" for Joachim's self-perceived, psychological inner turmoil.</p> / Dissertation
