Viena iš valstybingumo pamatų, laidojanti jos tvirtumą yra šeimos institucija ir šeimos mitas. Šeimos mitas – žmonijos asmeninis laukas, kur susiduria tradicijos, taisyklės, kultūros, interesai, vyriškas ir moteriškas pradai. Puoselėjame šeimą kaip vertybę, galinčią duoti ir išugdyti visuomeniškai sąmoningą asmenybę, suvokiančią savo reikšmę ir aktyviau dalyvaujančią socialinime gyvenime. Jaunąją kartą stiprina ir palaiko vyresniųjų teigiamas pavyzdys, kuris skatina sekti jų pavyzdžiu. Laikas negailestingai atskiria vienus šeimos narius nuo kitų, naujų epochų dvelksmas diktuoja naujas būties taisykles ir kitus – naujus iškylančių problemų sprendimus. Besikeičianti aplinka ir laikas nulemia mūsų būtį. Savo baigiamąjį darbą – autorinę knygą, albumą pavadinau – UŽRAŠAI. Tai nėra mokslininko pastabos apie sudėtingą ir klaidžią žmogiškąją prigimtį, veikiau darbas su šeimos relikvijomis, rinkimas informacijos apie šeimą, jos istoriją. Albumas pasitarnauja kaip medžiaga iliustruoti šeimos praeičiai arba kurti ateitį. Jame pateikiamas mano šeimos – paprastų kaimo žmonių gyvenimas. Pasitelkdama vieną iš išraiškos priemonių – piešinį, perteikiau šeimos kasdieninę buitį. Šiuo savo darbu apibendrinu visos mūsų tautos, nykstančio kaimo gyventojo likimą. Viskas kinta, tad tokio Lietuvos kaimo žmogaus – tradicinio sodiečio nebematysime jau niekada. / One of the founding principles of nationhood, which displays its stability, is the institution of family and its myth. The family myth is humanity‘s personal field where traditions, rules, cultures, interests, male, and female natures collide. We cherish the family as a virtue, which can produce and foster a socially responsible person, who understands his or her significance and actively participates in her community. Younger generations are strengthened and motivated by the elders’ positive example, which encourage them to follow their lead. Time unscrupulously separates family members from others; the dawn of new ages dictates new laws of existence and other new ways to solve problems. The passage of time and the changing environment determines our being. I call my final year project “Notes”, which is an authorial book. They are not observations of a scientist about the difficult and meandering human nature, rather it is a work with a family reliquary, a gathering of information about the family and its history. The album as a source helps with illustrating its past and helps with creating a new future. In it the life of my family as simple country folk is presented. By the expressive medium of drawing, I rendered my family’s everyday life. In this project I summarise the fate of the dying country life in our whole nation. Everything changes, therefore we will never again witness such a Lithuanian farmhouse lifestyle.

Magistro darbe ,,Humanistinio portreto raida Lietuvos fotografijoje 20 a. II p.“ aptariama šeimos mito samprata ir sampynos su fotografija. Atskleidžiamas psichologinis bei fotografijos estetinis poveikis žmogui: parodoma kūrybiškumo ir šeimos mito sąveika istoriniame, laiko, vietos ir meniniame kontekste. Tiriamas Lietuvos fotografinis kontekstas bei lyginama su Vakarų Europos ir Amerikos fotografiniu istoriniu archyvu. Šeimos mitas laikomas žmonijos asmeniniu lauku, kur susiduria tradicijos, taisyklės, kultūros, interesai, vyriškas ir moteriškas pradai. Tyrimas parodė, kad šios sritys (fotografija ir šeima) turi kai kurių persipinančių bruožų ir idėjų yra susiję ir papildo viena kitą. Skirtumas tik tas, kad sąveikauja du skirtingi reiškiniai – fotografija kaip procesas, pranešimas ir žmogus kaip procesų – šeimos mito vykdytojas arba laužytojas. Moksliniame darbe pateikiama humanizmo samprata Vakaruose ir Lietuvoje, humanistinio portreto Lietuvos fotografijoje raida, raiška ir savitumai. Humanizmas akcentuojamas kaip esminis stilistinį fotografijos klodą nulėmęs bruožas. Tačiau šio bruožo laikėsi senoji (A. Sutkus, A. Kunčius, A. Macijauskas, R. Rakauskas) fotomenininkų karta, kuri puoselėjo Lietuvos fotografijos mokyklos (LFM) humanistines tradicijas. Šiuolaikinė fotografija apsigyvena kitose meno terpėse – medijose, kur sunku atskirti fotografiją nuo garso, vaizdo, šviesos ir kitų efektų. Šiame darbe bus apmąstoma ir svarstoma ne tik fotografija, bet ir sociologija...

The psychological and aesthetical effects of photography on a person are revealed; the interplay of creativity and the mythic family in contexts of history, time, space, and the arts is shown. The context of Lithuania’s photography is analysed and compared with a historical photography archive of Western Europe and America. The family myth is deemed to be an intimate field of humanity, where traditions, rules, cultures, interests, feminine and masculine natures collide. Research showed that these domains (photography and family) have some intertwining features and ideas which complement each other. The only difference is that two distinct phenomena are at work here – photography as process and information, and a person as a process of ministry or destruction of the family myth. The concept of humanism in Lithuania and the West, the development, expression, and particularities of the humanistic photography portrait in Lithuania are provided in this research paper. Humanism is accented as a trait that fundamentally determined the style of photography. However, this trait was followed by the old generation of photographers (A. Sutkus, A. Kunčius, A. Macijauskas, R. Rakauskas), who fostered the humanistic traditions of the Lithuanian photography school (LPS)... [to full text]

No Brasil, o poder da bancada BBB (Bala, Boi e Bíblia) no Congresso e a popularidade do presidenciável Jair Bolsonaro atestam isso. Esse cenário é resultado, em parte, da crescente influência das igrejas pentecostais e neopentecostais na arena política, havendo, em geral, uma convergência entre as posições ideológicas dos evangélicos e seus valores familiares. Para compreender esse fenômeno, fez-se um estudo de caso do mito familiar de uma denominação neopentecostal em particular: a Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD), o maior fenômeno religioso do Brasil dos últimos 30 anos, tomando-se como objeto de estudo a literatura produzida sobre e por seu líder e por membros de sua família. Os marcos teóricos do estudo foram: o pensamento do psiquiatra suíço Carl Gustav Jung, criador da psicologia analítica e a sociologia do neopentecostalimo brasileiro. A mitologia familiar IURDiana foi compreendida principalmente a partir do estudo sobre o mito familiar IURDiano, dividida em: o mito do herói, o mito do Eterno Feminino e o mito familiar propriamente dito, um construto teórico ainda pouco explorado na comunidade Junguiana. Outros intérpretes do mito também foram incluídos: Simone de Beauvoir, Joseph Campbell, Mircea Eliade e James Hillman. Apresentou-se um breve histórico sobre as três ondas do pentecostalismo no país e da trajetória da IURD, desde a sua fundação à inauguração do Templo de Salomão. A análise centrou-se nos perfis do homem, da mulher e da família de Deus idealizados por Edir Macedo. Foram apontadas como características da teologia IURDiana: a submissão da mulher, o domínio da razão sobre emoção, o fomento à prosperidade material e a luta constante contra outros credos, havendo evidências de que o mito familiar da Igreja Universal seja uma adaptação pós-moderna da “família tradicional” brasileira. Esta seria uma família patriarcal, cuja configuração coloca o mito pessoal do pai como o mito central da família. Esse modelo de família tradicional ajudaria as fiéis da IURD a recuperarem a unidade familiar e serem valorizadas frente a situações de exclusão econômica e social. As posturas contraditórias dos pastores, obreiros e até do próprio Bispo perante o seu mito familiar também foram discutidas. / The second decade of the third millennium is brought to an end, and with it comes a conservative bent in the political scenario. In Brazil, the power of the BOB (Bullet, Ox, and Bible) parliamentary bench and presidential Jair Bolsanaro’s popularity attests that. This scenario is in part the result of the growing influence of Pentecostal and Neo-Pentecostal churches in the political arena, with a general convergence between the ideological positions of evangelicals and their family values. In order to understand this phenomenon, a case study was made of the family myth of a Neo-Pentecostal denomination in particular: the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, the greatest religious phenomenon in Brazil in the last 30 years, taking as the object of study the literature about and by their leader, Edir Macedo, and members of his family. The theoretical frameworks of the study were: the ideas of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, analytical psychology’s founder and the sociology of Brazilian neopentecostalism. The IURDian mythology was mainly understood from the study on the IURDian family myth, divided into: the myth of the hero, the myth of the Eternal Feminine and the family myth properly said, a theoretical construct still unexplored in the Jungian community. Other interpreters of the myth were also included: Simone de Beauvoir, Joseph Campbell, MirceaEliade and James Hillman. A brief history was given of the three waves of Pentecostalism in the country and the trajectory of the IURD, from its foundation to the inauguration of Solomon’s Temple. The analysis focused on Edir Macedo’s idealized profiles of the man, woman and family of God. Some characteristics of IURDian theology: the submission of women, reason over emotion, the promotion of wealth and the constant clash against other religions, with evidence that the family myth of the Universal Church is a postmodern adaptation of the “traditional” Brazilian family. It’s a patriarchal family whose arrangement puts the personal myth of the father as the central myth of the family. This traditional family model helps IURD’s female churchgoers to recover family unity and to be valued in the face of economic and social exclusion. The contradictory positions of pastors, laborers and even the Bishop himself in the face of their family myth were also discussed.

Eudora Welty’s characterization of George Fairchild (Delta Wedding) queers the heroic masculine ideal, St George, whose legendary exploits have been popularized in narrative literature, Catholic iconography, and children’s fairy tale. Lauded by the Fairchild women for his “difference,” George’s sexuality offers him an identity apart from the suffocating Fairchild family myth. George Fairchild’s queer sexuality and homoeroticism augments our critical understanding of Delta Wedding, the character, as well as other characters. The author’s subtly politicized construction of the novel’s ostensible hero subverts literary tradition, the gender binary, and patriarchal myth.

Le premier secret de famille cité par les personnes interrogées par questionnaire est celui de la filiation. Les personnes nées dans le secret (ou nées sous X) sont destinataires d'un secret imposé par la législation, celui de leurs origines biologiques. Si de surcroît, cette adoption leur a été cachée par leur famille, comme c'est le cas des personnes rencontrées dans le cadre de cette recherche, la conséquence en est une souffrance d'autant plus violente que la révélation aura été tardive. Les loyautés familiales contraignent les membres à répéter événements familiaux et les contraignent à payer les fautes de leurs ancêtres. La famille vit enfermée dans un mythe familial qui prescrit les lois et règles à respecter.Aussi, après la révélation, la personne destinataire du secret va refuser ces lois et règles ; elle va être marginalisée par sa famille et le dialogue, voire toutes relations avec sa famille, seront rompus. Ainsi, elle s'est libérée des lois et règles prescrites par le mythe familial et de toute forme de loyauté vis-à-vis de sa famille. Cette exclusion va lui permettre de se socialiser. En effet, dans notre société, la transparence est le fer de lance et "l'extimité" est prônée. Le secret ne s'y oppose pas mais les complémente et la validation du secret est un soutien à la socialisation pour la personne / The first family secret quoted by the people questioned by questionnaire is that of filiation. The people born in the secret (or born under X*) are recipients of a secret imposed by legislation, that of their biological origins. If in addition, this adoption was hidden from them by their family, as is the case of the people met in the context of this research, the consequence is a all the more violent in terms of suffering as the revelation will have been late. Family loyalty forces members to repeat family events and forces them to pay for the faults of their ancestors. The family lives lockecl up in family myth which prescribes the laws and rules to be respected. And so, after the revelation, the person recipient of the secret will refuse these laws and rules ; he or she will be marginalized by his or her family and dialogue, or even all relations with his or her family, will be broken. Thus, he or she was released from the laws and rules prescribed by family myth and from any form of loyalty with respect to his or her family. This exclusion will enable him or her to become sociable. Indeed, in our society, this transparency is triumphed and "extimity" is applauded. Secrets are not opposed to this but are complimentary and the valid ation of the secret is a support for the socialization of the person
