Das Volk bilden: The Pursuit of Volkstümlichkeit by Berthold Auerbach, Heinrich Heine and Johann Gottfried Herder examines the theorization of the concept of the Volk and Volkstümlichkeit by three authors from the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: Berthold Auerbach, Heinrich Heine and Johann Gottfried Herder. The term “volkstümlich” has no exact equivalent in English, although it has been rendered as “popular” “folkish” or even the slightly pejorative “folksy.” In German, it expresses both the quality of something proper to a given people or Volk, and the notion of popularity or commonness at which the English terms gesture. I analyze how these authors aim to expand the contemporaneous reading public by shaping the reading practices of audiences otherwise ignored by traditional belletristic literature. It also interrogates how they conceive of the Volk as a co-producer of literature and culture. Each author uses the terms “Volk” and “Volkstümlichkeit” in programmatic texts to refer to shared characteristics among a given people and as a distinction between high and low culture. All three also pursue the goal of creating a widespread reading public through their own literary practices: Herder in his collections of song and poetry, Heine in his poetry, criticism and journalism, and Auerbach through a thematic focus on the village in his fiction and the serial form of the Volkskalender in his role as editor. Each of them pursues a program that is both national and cosmopolitan, writing as they did during a period when invocation of the Volk was not yet primarily the province of conservative nationalists. Chapter one shows how Berthold Auerbach used his dual role as author of the immensely popular Schwarzwälder Dorfgeschichten and as editor of and contributor to various Volkskalender to elevate the way of life he portrays. In doing so, he aimed at uniting the disparate audiences of the common people and the educated, as well as urban and rural populations into a single Volk. Chapter two focuses on several key texts of Heinrich Heine’s to show that he conceived of the Volk as an ideal addressee capable of resolving the contradictions that plague civilization. Contrary to much of the scholarship that sees a pessimistic turn in Heine’s later work, I use his many remarks on the common people throughout his work to draw out a utopian, trans-historical element in his thinking. Two early texts by Johann Gottfried Herder, Über die neuere deutsche Literatur: Fragmente and the Volkslieder project, make up the focus of the third chapter. By importing genres associated with oral traditions and performance into his collections, together with texts by Shakespeare, Herder effaces existing distinctions between popular forms and high literature. The chapter shows that Herder conceives of the Volk not just as a public, but as active participants in literary world-making. My dissertation intervenes in existing scholarship on the literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by centering Volk as one of the defining concepts of the era and demonstrating how different literary media has been used to imagine and establish relations to it.

El presente trabajo explora el desarrollo del concepto freudiano “proyección” en el marco de la mutua colaboración entre Sigmund Freud y Carl Jung. La investigación se inscribe en la línea conceptual histórica y de determinantes inconscientes en el desarrollo de conceptos. En ella, se pretende dar cuenta de diferencias teóricas y metodológicas entre Freud y Jung desde sus inicios que puedan ayudar a dar sentido a la colaboración mutua en el desarrollo del concepto proyección. Para este fin, se revisó críticamente la correspondencia entre ambos, así como las obras de cada uno en las que se pueda evidenciar el trabajo con el concepto / The following work explores the development of the freudian concept “projection” in the framework of the mutual collaboration between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. This research is framed in the line of historical-conceptual research and unconscious determinants in the concept’s development. We intend to explain, the theoretical and methodological differences between Freud and Jung from the beginning that make sense on the mutual collaboration in the development of that concept. With this purpose, we reviewed critically the correspondence between both authors, as well as each one’s works referred to the concept

La plupart des critiques qui se sont intéressés à François-Xavier Garneau reconnaissent qu'il a subi l'influence de plusieurs historiens français du XIX siècle, Ils mentionnent très fréquemment Thierry et Michelet. Mais ils se contentent ordinairement de citer ce fait. Quelques-uns toutefois sont allés plus loin; ils n'ont cependant considéré que l'aspect religieux de l'oeuvre de Garneau./ Croyant qu'une étude approfondie de l'influence de Thierry sur Garneau n'a pas encore été faite, nous allons considérer divers aspects de la vie et de l'oeuvre de ces deux historiens et faire ressortir les ressemblances qui nous persuadent que Garneau doit beaucoup à Thierry. Le but de cette étude est donc de montrer comment l'historien français Augustin Thierry (1795- 1856) a pu influencer "l'historien national" du Canada, François-Xavier Garneau (1809-1866). Thierry est né quatorze ans avant Garneau et il avait déjà une réputation de grand théoricien et d'historien avant même que Garneau n'ait atteint l'âge d'homme. Celui-ci arrive à l'âge d'homme sans connaître Thierry, dont l'influence sur lui ne se fait sentir que vers 1830. Mais elle sera décisive sur son oeuvre, et sur ses idées. Néanmoins, bien qu'il n'existe aucun lien entre la formation de Garneau et celle de Thierry, il est tout de même nécessaire de faire une étude de la vie de ces deux hommes. Nous ne nous proposons pas toutefois d'écrire une longue biographie des deux historiens, mais tout simplement de mettre en relief dans une large mesure l'influence qu'un écrivain a exercé sur l'autre. Ceci étant fait, nous étudierons les oeuvres de Thierry et de Garneau, dans le but d'exposer comment celles-là ont pu inspirer celles-ci. Enfin nous consacrerons un chapitre à l'étude des idées religieuses des deux hommes, à cause de l'importance de ces idées dans leurs oeuvres. Cette étude comprendra donc trois grandes divisions: une courte biographie de Thierry et de Garneau, une étude comparée de leurs oeuvres, et une analyse de leurs idées religieuses. Nous tenons à exprimer ici notre vive gratitude à tous ceux qui nous ont aidé dans la composition de ce travail: à M. René Gautheron, ancien chef du département des langues modernes à L'Université Dalhousie, qui nous a orienté vers une étude sérieuse de la langue française; qui, par sa recommendation, nous a rendu possible un séjour d'une année scolaire en France, 1939-1940, et qui a sans cesse renouvelé ses encouragements jusqu'au point de nous suggérer le sujet de cette étude. Nous offrons, nos remerciements aux professeurs de l'Université Laval pour les conseils qu'ils nous ont donnés, aux conservateurs des bibliothèques de Laval et de Harvard, et particulièrement à M. Luc Lacourcière, professeur à l'Université Laval, qui nous a guidé si patiemment, et fourni une assistance si précieuse dans la rédaction de cette thèse. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2012

Se analizan comparativamente el concepto de voluntad (der Wille) de Arthur Schopenhauer y el concepto de pulsión (der Trieb) de S. Freud. La relación entre ambos conceptos ha sido poco estudiada. Hay estudios que señalan parentescos cercanos entre la voluntad y varios conceptos psicoanalíticos (sexualidad, inconsciente, ello); sin embargo, son escuetos en el tratamiento de la voluntad. Este trabajo describe vertical y sistemáticamente tanto la voluntad como la pulsión antes de señalar similitudes y divergencias. El primer capítulo desarrolla la voluntad (der Wille) poniendo de relieve sus características: su escisión fundamental consigo misma, su absoluta nihilidad, su primado sobre la representación (empero la implicación mutua), y, finalmente, la identificación, para el hombre, del sujeto del conocimiento con el sujeto del querer. El segundo capítulo estudia la pulsión, concepto metapsicológico caracterizado por su ingente voracidad y su arraigo somático: la pulsión activa y mantiene en movimiento la vida psíquica impulsándola hacia la constante búsqueda de objetos (contingentes) susceptibles de satisfacerla. Finalmente, señalamos parentescos y distancias referidas al nivel teórico (metafísica y metapsicología), alcances y limitaciones (el mundo y la vida psíquica). / The present research proposes a comparative analysis between the concept of “Will” (der Wille) by Arthur Schopenhauer and the concept of “Drive” (der Trieb) by Sigmund Freud. The relationship between both concepts has been little studied. There are studies that indicate close relationships between “Will” and several psychoanalytical concepts (sexuality, unconscious, it), but are limited in the discussion of the “Will”. Vertical and systematic descriptions of “Will” and “Drive” are made before pointing out similarities and differences. Each concept is revised in detail in order to identify the key connections and differences. The first chapter develops the Will, highlighting its important features: its fundamental schism with itself, its absolute nihility, its primacy on the representation (however the mutual implication), and finally, the identification, for man, from the subject of knowledge to the subject of love. Then the Drive is examined in terms of the greed and somatic roots: the drive activates and keeps moving toward propelling the mental life, constantly searching for objects that might satisfy it. Finally, relationships and distances are pointed in reference to the theoretical level (metaphysics and metapsychology), scope and limitations (the world and the psychic life.).

Une multitude de gens, au XXe siècle, se sont servis de la psychanalyse pour se rendre compte de leurs faits et gestes. En s’appuyant ainsi sur la psychanalyse, ils démontraient la profondeur de la confiance qu’ils lui accordaient. Cette diffusion ample et profonde, qui a laissé une empreinte très marquée sur la culture contemporaine, demeure largement inexpliquée. Ce phénomène étonnant devient intelligible dès lors qu’on aborde la psychanalyse comme une grammaire de l’intériorité, qui a guidé des interactions en les médiatisant par des symboles et des significations communes (normes, valeurs, etc.) propres aux sociétés démocratiques contemporaines (celles qui se conçoivent comme émanant d’un accord entre individus). Cette pratique sociale, l’enquête psychanalytique, peut être analysée en situant dans leurs contextes d’interactions les discours dans lesquels des désirs refoulés étaient imputés à différentes conduites. L’œuvre de Freud offre un échantillon de tels discours. La description de la forme et du sens que ces imputations de désirs refoulés conféraient à différentes interactions en cours nous permet d’identifier les traits caractéristiques de l’enquête psychanalytique. Freud montre que le refoulement naît d’un conflit entre une volonté présociale refoulée et une volonté socialisée, refoulante, née des exigences inculquées par l’autorité parentale. Pour identifier un désir refoulé, il faut donc simultanément identifier une relation refoulante. L’enquête psychanalytique amène à passer en revue les différentes relations interpersonnelles et intrapersonnelles dans lesquelles est impliqué l’auteur du refoulement. Cet exercice permet de départager les relations qui contraignent la volonté intérieure présociale à des exigences sociales de celles qui, en sens inverse, émanent de cette volonté intérieure. Comme les premières suscitent le refoulement et les symptômes indésirables qu’il entraîne, la guérison du refoulement exige que le porteur du refoulement prenne ses distances des exigences sociales héritées, de manière à parvenir à reconnaître sa volonté présociale. En soupesant ainsi la contrainte exercée sur les volontés présociales par les relations particulières, l’enquête psychanalytique jaugeait ces dernières à partir d’une exigence propre aux sociétés démocratiques contemporaines : celle de fonder les relations sociales sur les volontés non contraintes des partenaires. L’enquête psychanalytique participait ainsi d’un imaginaire social moderne qui donnait, à des relations variées, la forme d’un contrat. Les contemporains qui recouraient à cette enquête manifestaient un souci de respecter cette exigence et ils suscitaient une réaction critique envers les relations qui contraignaient la volonté. En somme, l’enquête psychanalytique offrait aux contemporains une manière d’ordonner les relations qui était adaptée à une société accordant une autorité prééminente aux exigences « contractuelles ». Voilà qui explique en grande partie l’ampleur et la profondeur de la diffusion de la psychanalyse au XXe siècle. / In the twentieth century, a multitude of people used psychoanalysis to explain their actions and gestures to one another. Their reliance on psychoanalysis, is an indication of how deeply they trusted its theories. This wide and profound diffusion, which has left a very strong impression on contemporary culture, remains however largely unexplained. This puzzling phenomenon becomes intelligible, from the moment one treats psychoanalysis as a grammar of interiority, which guides interactions by mediating them with symbols and common meanings (norms, values, etc.) specific to contemporary democratic societies (those that conceive themselves as emerging from an agreement between individuals). This social practice, the psychoanalytic inquiry, can be analyzed by situating in their contexts of interactions the speeches in which repressed desires were imputed to various conducts. Freud’s work provides a sample of such speeches. The description of the form and meaning that these imputations of repressed desires conferred to different ongoing interactions allows us to identify the specific features of the psychoanalytic inquiry. Freud shows that the repression arises from a conflict between a repressed presocial will and a socialized will, which enforces repression, born from requirements inculcated by the parental authority. Hence, to identify a repressed desire, one must simultaneously identify a repressing relationship. The psychoanalytic inquiry leads to review the different interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships in which the author of the repression is involved. This exercise leads to set apart the relationships that constrain the inner presocial will to social requirements, from those that rather emanate from this inner will. Since the former creates the repression and the unwanted symptoms it causes, the healing of the repression requires that its carrier distances oneself from inherited social requirements, in order to recognize one’s her inner will. By weighing the coercion on presocial wills exercised by specific relations, the psychoanalytic inquiry gauged these relations from a standard specific to contemporary democratic societies: the requirement to ground social relations on the unconstrained wills of the partners. The psychoanalytic inquiry was part of a modern social imaginary that shaped the form of a contract to various relationships. The people who used this inquiry showed that they were concerned about this requirement and they prompted a critical reaction to the relationships that constrained their will. In sum, the psychoanalytic inquiry provided the contemporary world with a way of organizing relationships that was adapted to a society that gave a preeminent authority to “contractual” requirements. That largely explains the breadth and depth of the diffusion of psychoanalysis in the twentieth century.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo expor a dificuldade que o psicólogo encontra para realizar um estudo sobre o indivíduo se não recorrer a outras esferas do saber além da ciência, como a arte, e mais especificamente, a literatura. Procura-se evidenciar que a ciência psicológica não abarca a descrição de muitos aspectos presentes na formação do indivíduo, mesmo a psicanálise freudiana, teoria considerada neste trabalho. Já a literatura pode fornecer tanto uma perspectiva histórica da cultura, como elementos que a própria razão não é capaz de apresentar. Nesse sentido, a literatura pode ser também crítica da ciência, pois tem condições de mostrar por que o inconsciente, por exemplo, se torna objeto de estudo científico somente a partir de um momento do capitalismo, quando as inúmeras mediações do capital estreitam o sentido da vida humana. A literatura permite entender como era o homem em outras épocas e, assim, ela fornece a medida das mudanças ocorridas no indivíduo, como sua perda de autonomia e dificuldade de formação. O exame dessas questões se baseia nas reflexões dos teóricos que compõem a Teoria Crítica da Escola de Frankfurt, notadamente Theodor W. Adorno e Walter Benjamin, filósofos que se utilizaram largamente da psicanálise freudiana em seus ensaios. Alguns aspectos do romance de Franz Kafka, O processo, são analisados nesta pesquisa. A leitura dessa obra de Kafka, concomitante à leitura de alguns textos de Freud, permite entender como era o indivíduo da época desses autores, bem como fornece subsídios de sua constituição. A pesquisa está dividida em três partes. Na primeira são expostos princípios teóricos para descrever a relação entre indivíduo e cultura e para entender como o trabalho do artista expõe sua realidade. No segundo momento, por meio de reflexões sobre O processo, busca-se mostrar como o romance é capaz de expor as dificuldades de existência do indivíduo. E por fim, a terceira parte procura discutir alguns limites da psicanálise freudiana e algumas relações dessa teoria com os achados da literatura. Este estudo não pretende propor a rejeição da ciência, mas sim contribuir para a reflexão sobre seus limites e, portanto, para a ampliação dos mesmos / The present research strives to discuss the difficulty to conduct a study of the individual without considering other areas of knowledge beyond science, such as art, and more specifically, literature. It tries to show that psychological science can not to understand many aspects which are present in the formation of the individual, including the Freudian psychoanalysis, theory considered in this work. Literature can provide both historical perspective as well as elements of the culture, which reason itself is not capable. In this regard, literature can also be cr itical of science because it is able to show why the unconscious, for example, becomes an object of scientific study only from a specific point of capitalism while the numerous mediations of the capital narrow the meaning of human life. Moreover literature allows us to understand how human being was in another period, and thus it provides a dimension of changes of the individual, such as loss of autonomy and difficulty of formation. The study of these issues is based on the theory of some thinkers who compound the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School, especially Theodor W. Adorno and Walter Benjamin, philosophers who approached Freudian psychoanalysis in their essays. Some aspects of the novel by Franz Kafka, The Trial, are analyzed in this research. The reading of the work of Kafka together with some texts of Freud helps to understand how the individual of that period was, as well as, provides elements of their formation. The research is divided in three parts. First of all, theoretical principles are exposed to describe the relationship between the individual and culture and to understand how the work of the artist exposes his reality. Secondly, by thinking about The Trial, it seeks to show how modern novel is able to expose the difficulties of the individual existence. Finally, it discusses some limits of Freudian psychoanalysis and its relation to literature findings. This study does not intend to propose rejection of science, but rather contribute to the thinking and therefore broadening of its limits

Em pleno século XXI cabe a nós educadores, pensadores da Educação, refletirmos sobre novas formas de investimento para a melhoria da qualidade do Ensino. Inúmeras contribuições de naturezas distintas poderiam ser relatadas a fim de contribuir para tal, mas o que proponho nessa investigação é o investimento no que é a essência do humano: o vínculo. Há tempos se sabe sobre a importância das relações interpessoais na constituição do sujeito, mas será que no dia-a-dia das instituições educacionais existe, de fato, um investimento efetivo nesse olhar para dentro de si e para o outro? A escola enquanto espaço público, de primazia coletiva, lida cotidianamente com os vínculos no grupo; o mesmo ocorre em tantos outros ambientes educativos, que propõem projetos sociais, artísticos e esportivos para milhares de crianças e jovens de nosso país. Quantos educadores tiveram a oportunidade de estabelecer um diálogo mais próximo com a psicologia e com a psicanálise durante sua formação? Que conhecimentos puderam construir a respeito dos funcionamentos grupais e das possibilidades de manejar os conflitos e resistências que emergem no grupo? Com referência nas idéias de três autores de base psicanalítica - S. Freud, D. W. Winnicott e R. Kaës - relato e analiso duas experiências vivenciadas em pequenos grupos pertencentes a duas instituições escolares de grande porte. Em A Cortina de Miçangas Musical, compartilho a experiência que vivi como professora, na Escola Vera Cruz. Em A Reabertura da Biblioteca, socializo a experiência vivida junto a um grupo de adolescentes, pais e funcionários da Escola Estadual Salvador Moya, como coordenadora do Projeto Abrace Seu Bairro. Que elementos no manejo grupal podem facilitar ou obstaculizar o nascimento de criações coletivas resultantes do encontro das intersubjetividades de seus integrantes? A reflexão - teórica, prática e sensível - é instrumento essencial para que os sons e os ruídos do grupo, possam ser transformados em música; para que o timbre de cada instrumento (indivíduo) possa aparecer sem encobrir o timbre do outro; para que os músicos dessa orquestra (grupo) possam tocar juntos, ora com melodias mais harmônicas, ora com novos padrões tonais. Reflexão esta: sobre os movimentos do educador, dos alunos e do grupo; sobre a maneira com que os vínculos são estabelecidos no coletivo; sobre os papéis e sobre as tarefas de cada um imerso nessa grupalidade; sobre a presença de uma relação horizontal ou hierarquizada entre seus integrantes; sobre o amadurecimento das relações; sobre a função continente que o grupo pode assumir; sobre a existência ou não do sentimento de pertencimento, enfim, sobre a possibilidade do educador construir um olhar clínico e uma escuta sensível-reflexiva, sobre o grupo, de forma que ele, o grupo, possa ser reconhecido como sujeito da criação. / In the 21st century it is up to us, educators who carry out research, to think about new forms of investments to improve the educational system.

We have known for a long time of the importance of inter-personal relationships in the formation of the subject.

In the Reopening of the Library I share the experience lived with a group of teenagers, parents and employees of the Salvador Moya State School in my post as coordinator of the project Embrace your Neighborhood. What managing elements can make easier or harder the emergence of collective creativity that results of the interaction of several subjectivities? Thought - whether theoretical, practical and based on sensibility - is a fundamental tool for the sounds and noises of a group to become music; for the tone of each musical instrument (individual) can emerge without concealing the others; for the musicians of this orchestra (group) to be enabled to play together with either more harmonic or with new tonal melodies? What are the movements the educator should follow regarding the students and the group? How the collective links are established? What are the roles and the tasks of each one in the group? Is there a horizontal or hierarchy based relationship among them? What is the connective function that the group may exert? Is there a feeling of belonging to the group? What is the possibility of the educator forming a clinical regard and a sensible-reflexive hearing about the group so that the group itself can be recognized as the subject of the creativity?
