Our goal was to establish some form of interpretation between the analytical work of Carl Jung in depth psychology and the views of Marshall McLuhan regarding the impact of media. It was hoped that such a correlation of contrasting viewpoints would yield additional insight in the study of mass reactions to media. In accomplishing this purpose a “universe” based upon analytical psychology was juxtaposed with an expressly “McLuhanesque” analysis of media and technological effects. After establishing correlations between the major dynamics of the two systems, several functional conclusions were reached. These are: (1) that media have an inescapable influence, (2) that media sustain consciousness as their content, (3) that media take a major role in the functions of the unconscious, (4) that media participate in the integration between internal and external, and (5) that media directly effect the requirements for and suitability of symbolic vehicles. These conclusions are the product of correlations between two apparently dichotomous systems; one developed primarily through analyses of external effectors, and the other, primarily through analyses of internal elements. Since our conclusions are not in disagreement with current views in the field, the outcome of our research is in keeping with our goal of adding to available material dealing with the analysis of mass reactions to media.

<p>Entitetupplevelser (upplevelser med väsen och spöken) kan bestå av närvarokänslor, starka lukter, ljud, apparitioner, fysiska förnimmelser eller tillsynes oförklarlig förflyttning av föremål. Entitetupplevelsernas karaktär samt tolkningarna är mycket individuella. Ulf Sjödins undersökning om vilka människor som tror på entiteter har visat att det främst är ensamma människor och/eller människor med en allmän oro inför framtiden. Syftet med uppsatsen var att med jungianska teorier visa på hur man kan tolka entitetupplevelser, samt belysa en eventuell interaktion mellan percipient och entitetupplevelse. Ett ytterligare syfte med uppsatsen var att pröva Sjödins teorier om vilka människor som tror på entiteter. Uppsatsen är baserad på sju personers entitetupplevelser och förhållanden kring upplevelserna. Slutsatsen är att entitetupplevelser består av primära och sekundära upplevelser och till synes är en interaktion mellan vissa förutsättningar på platsen och percipienten.

<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.
