This project is an exploration, through art making processes, of a relationship between the interpretation of symbols and the interpretation of everyday life experiences, with a view to evolving a metaphorical visual language that might translate these experiences. Individuation is a process within Jungian psychology that relates the interpretation of symbols to the interpretation of life experiences and places their common meanings within a definitive framework of individual human development. The archetypal pattern that this framework outlines is the development of a healthy relationship between an individual’s consciousness and the unconscious. The word metaphor originates from Greek metapherein – “to carry over, transfer; meta` beyond, over + fe`rein to bring, bear. It is the transference of the relation between one set of objects to another set for the purpose of brief explanation… the statement “that man is a fox,” is a metaphor” (Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, 2008) Due to its particular relationship to time, space, memory and light photography has proven to be an ideal way to engage, record, and present this exploration. Our personal photographs operate as visual metaphors for our personal experience, we transfer the experience into the photograph, we consider the photograph is that moment in time, that place, that experience, rather than being like that experience. The interpretation of personal photographs is entirely individual and emotional. When photographs are placed into the public arena their emotional value changes, their interpretation, purpose, and authenticity can become questionable. In this project the experience and the photographs are placed within the context of individuation, which is a model that guides the interpretation of the photographs and include the individual and emotional values as a necessary part of that interpretation. In this project the symbols and visual metaphors interpreted in the photographs operate as a narrative of the personal experience of the archetypal journey of individuation.

Circe (2018) by Madeline Miller is a retelling of The Odyssey from the perspective of the witch Circe. The novel challenges the previous portrayal of Circe as a vindictive seductress and provides insight into the narrative of a woman negotiating a man’s world, in which she is denied autonomy due to her gender. This essay focuses on how oppressive structures prevent the protagonist to psychologically develop towards their true potential in Circe. Jungian psychoanalytic theory of individuation and archetypes are applied to analyze the psychological process. In addition, the impact of hegemonic masculinity in Circe is examined as it stunts the protagonist’s progress in individuation. Furthermore, Circe can be a tool in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom in upper secondary school to enable discussions on gender oppression and unjust social structures. A feminist reading of the individuation process in Circe can provide new insight into the effects of gender oppression as it concerns the psychological impact of unjust treatment.

With this purpose, in the first part of this work we will develop a systematic exposition of the contemporary knowledge about Gnosticism, giving special attention to the body and mind. In the second part we will discuss the influences of Gnosticism upon the writings of C. G. Jung, as well as the adequacy of the expression Jungian Gnosis, discussing about its translation into the Jungian notions of body and mind. Finally, we will examine the supposed religious character of the Jungian theory and the possibilities to consider it a heretical doctrine / Com este trabalho pretendemos mostrar a conexão existente entre as noções junguianas de corpo e mente com suas correspondentes no gnosticismo. Com este objetivo, na primeira parte do trabalho faremos uma exposição sistemática sobre o conhecimento que se tem atualmente do gnosticismo, dando uma especial atenção ao corpo e a mente. Na segunda parte, com base no exposto na Parte I, discutiremos sobre as influências do gnosticismo nos escritos de C. G. Jung e a adequação da expressão gnose junguiana, discorrendo sobre como isso se traduz nas noções junguianas de corpo e mente. Finalmente, examinaremos o suposto caráter religioso da teoria Junguiana e as possibilidades de considerá-la uma doutrina herética

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.

It is an investigative study of relationship mother-baby. The bibliography compiled has suggested that the mother or the individual taking on the mother´s role has a key role in the process of falling asleep and maintaining baby´s sleep. Simultaneously, having a good and restful night sleep was something much valued and attempted by the parents. By applying the technique of change of sleep habits, which has been developed by the author, this study analyses three pairs of mother-baby basing its findings on the Jungian theory. The objective of the study has been achieved since the technique has proved to be efficient when stipulating different intervals of waiting time, according to psychological resources characterized by each phase of the human development. By providing an exclusive time for the mother-baby interaction through giving the baby a body massage, the baby was offered different experiences, both of primary bond and separation / O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar as possibilidades da aplicação de técnica de modificação dos hábitos de sono, em crianças com dificuldade para dormir, em um estudo investigativo da relação mãe-filho. A bibliografia estudada sugeriu que, a mãe ou a pessoa que faz o papel de mãe exerce papel fundamental no processo de adormecer e manter o sono do bebê, ao mesmo tempo em que para os pais, poder ter uma noite de sono ininterrupta era algo valorizado e buscado. Fazendo o uso da técnica para modificação de hábitos de sono desenvolvida pela autora, o estudo fez uma análise de três pares de mãe-bebê sob a ótica da linha teórica junguiana, alcançando seu objetivo, uma vez que a técnica mostrou-se eficiente ao estipular diferentes intervalos de tempo de espera, de acordo com os recursos psicológicos característicos de cada etapa do desenvolvimento humano, e também, ao propiciar um momento exclusivo para a interação mãe-bebê, através da massagem, cumprindo o papel de fornecer ao bebê ambas as experiências, tanto de união primária, como de separação
