<p>Bruno K. Öijer is one of Sweden's well known poets. He belongs to a poetic avant-garde and made his debut in 1973. Many literature researchers and reviewers have focused on Öijer as person and poet. I will discuss Öijer's authorship in relation to literary traditions, such as orphic tradition, avant-garde and modernsim, surrealism and the outsider definition. But the primary aim of my essay is to focus on what message the poet conveys to the readers. In my opinion, many of Öijer's poems are about finding one self through listening to one's inner world. My thesis is that Öijer has reform plans for the human beings and the world. Öijer's poems are about the New man who listens to his inner world and who sees through the power of commercialism and politicians' authority. The New man is the only one who can make our planet a better place. My thesis is based on Carl Gustav Jung's psychology, which focal point is that the human being is going through several metamorphoses in life. Jung calls his theory the individuation process. I will also discuss Jung's theory about the visionary poem. I find Öijer's poem <em>Från En Demons Båge - fyra filmmonologer </em>a poem which gives the readers a glimps into another world that we today can't comprehend.</p>

Cette étude de type qualitatif a pour but de mieux comprendre, selon une perspective jungienne, les abus de pouvoir dans les relations entre chorégraphes et interprètes ainsi que la relation entretenue par les danseurs avec leur propre pouvoir. Un examen des écrits a ciblé le harcèlement psychologique de même que la culture du travail et de la formation professionnelle en danse contemporaine. Afin d'examiner les mécanismes inconscients agissant dans la relation entre danseurs et chorégraphes, le cadre théorique s'inspire principalement des écrits de C. G. Jung, fondateur de la psychologie analytique. Des entrevues individuelles semi-dirigées ont été menées de juin à septembre 2008 avec trois danseuses professionnelles ayant entre dix et vingt-cinq années d'expérience et œuvrant dans le domaine de la danse contemporaine. Chaque participante a été rencontrée à deux reprises. Les résultats obtenus nous permettent d'affirmer que des situations d'abus de pouvoir sont présentes entre chorégraphes et danseurs et que l'exercice du pouvoir est réprimé chez ces derniers. La relation presque «amoureuse» entre chorégraphe et danseur est inéquitable, teintée de désir de plaire et d'idéalisation. Dans une perspective jungienne, le pouvoir réprimé chez les danseurs a des effets sur la relation que ces derniers entretiennent avec le chorégraphe et tout le milieu de la danse. À cet égard, ils contribuent eux-mêmes de manière inconsciente au déséquilibre de pouvoir du milieu. Par ailleurs, les résultats de cette étude rejoignent ceux d'études antérieures qui identifient trois facteurs importants pour le développement de situations d'abus de pouvoir et de harcèlement psychologique. D'abord, il existe un important déséquilibre de pouvoir entre les danseurs, pour qui cette notion est ambiguë, et les chorégraphes - ces derniers n'ont pas les outils pour exercer leur pouvoir de façon saine. Ensuite, le faible risque ou l'absence de risque de réprimande prévaut dans ce milieu car aucune des situations de harcèlement n'a été dénoncée; en outre, peu de moyens organisationnels sont mis en place pour aider les danseurs victimes d'abus. Enfin, une culture du silence, un stress élevé et une communication déficiente entraînent des rapports humains souvent émotifs. Ce mémoire souhaite participer à l'ouverture d'une conscience plus éclairée des rapports de pouvoir entre chorégraphes et interprètes car les problématiques de déséquilibre de pouvoir existant dans le milieu de la danse sont la responsabilité de tous ses acteurs. Il est souhaitable que la communauté de la danse définisse ce qui constitue un abus de pouvoir en danse et qu'elle développe des moyens pour mieux encadrer les relations de travail. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Pouvoir, Éros, Danseur, Chorégraphe, Abus, Harcèlement psychologique, C.

The novel manuscript Blue Horses (published as Dust, by Random House Australia under its Woolshed Press Imprint, July 2009) focuses on a dusty corner of 1970’s Queensland in this evocative tale of family, shadows that hang over from childhood and beauty found in unexpected places. Its protagonist, Cecilia Maria, was named after saints and martyrs to give her something to live up to. “Over my dead body,” she vows. Her battles with a six-pack of brothers and the despised Kapernicke girls from the farm next door teach her an unforgettable lesson that echoes down through the years. Now she’s heading back to where it all began, with teenagers Jed and Jenna reluctantly in tow. She plans to dance on a grave and track down some ghosts. Instead she learns a new lesson at the gravesite of an old enemy. The exegesis examines Jung’s concept of the Shadow Archetype as a catalyst for individuation in writing for young adults. It discusses the need to re-vision Jung’s work within a feminist framework and contrasts it to Julia Kristeva’s work on the abject. Alyssa Brugman’s Walking Naked and Sonya Hartnett’s Sleeping Dogs are analysed in relation to these concepts and lead into my own creative reflections on, and justification for, use of the Shadow conceptual framework. In following my shadow and establishing a creative dialogue between my conscious intent and unconscious inspirations, I have discovered a writing self that is “other” to the professional writer persona of my past.

Tesis

The central aim of this study was to explore the meaning of death as both a literal and an imaginative reality, and to elucidate the fundamental tensions between these meanings of death in modern existence. Recognition was given to the need for a poetic rather than a scientific approach to thanatology, and an epistemological foundation for a poetics of death was sought in the tradition of gnosis. Theoretically, the study was grounded in the analytical psychology of C.G. Jung. It was argued that despite Jung's erratic allegiance to a Cartesian ontology and epistemology, his approach to death was nevertheless fundamentally poetic. The poetic parameters of death and dying were explored in the context of Jung's understanding of the dialectical tension between the ego and the self, and it was concluded that while death represents an opening to the imaginative possibilities of existence, these potentialities can come to the fore only when there is a corresponding willingness to die. In these terms, it was concluded that the tension between life and death forms a pivotal dynamic of human existence. These considerations led to the Question of whether the poetic parameters of death and dying are applicable to the encounter with death as a concrete actuality. It was hypothesised that the approach of death would be met at two levels of reality, that of the ego and that of the self. The expectation was that while death would be seen as a literal ending from the perspective of the former, it may represent the fulfilment of Being from the viewpoint of the self. It was also assumed that the tension between these images of death would be mediated by way of archetypal symbols, which represent the bearers of gnosis in modern culture. To address these issues at an empirical level, a hermeneutically grounded thematic analysis of 108 dreams reported by dying persons was undertaken. Twenty initial themes emerged from the data. Each of these themes was in turn elucidated by way of Jung's method of amplification. This exercise yielded five concise themes, these being (a) death, (b) transformation, (c) the self (d) the Feminine, and (e) the Masculine. It was concluded that dreams manifesting during the dying process reveal a fundamental tension between literal and metaphoric possibilities of death. Dream symbols were also found to mediate between this tension, and to orchestrate the individuation process. It was concluded that in the context of dying, dreams may reflect and facilitate the emergence of a meaningful gnosis of death. The clinical implications of these findings were onsidered, and indications for further research were provided.
