This crisis took on alarming proportions in the second half of the XX century, when the river pollution reached the extension ofthree hundred and fifty kilometres and the low water quality has caused contagious diseases, disabling its use even for the electric power generation. Our hypothesis is (1) that the causes of the ecological crisis in the river Tietê isn't only in the material and objective dimension, but also has to do with the estrangement of man's relationship with the symbolic and the sacred. And that, therefore, (2) the resolution ofthis crisis should aiso include human subjectivity. To verify these hypotheses, we used theoretical and historical research of the ecological crisis in the river, as well as the religious symbolism of thé river water, and the imaginary links between the citizens from São Paulo and the river along with the history ofthe city. It also raised the current strategies that have been used tomanage the crisis. The theoretical referential that permeates the dissertation is an interface of the concept of symbolism of Ernst Cassirer's, Mircea Eliade and Carl G. Jung works. We concluded that the causes of the ecological crisis in Tietê are linked with the loss of meaning of the symbolism of the water and ofthe river, and that the strategies, to work with the same should include the cultural dimension, spiritual and psychic. It should be understood that it's necessary to consider the integration between objectivity and subjectivity, also cultural and economical development, to consider the mentioned crisis, in arder to work out proposals looking to reverse-revitalize the symbol of the river and the water, putting an end to the ecological crisis in the Tietê river / A presente dissertação tem como objetivo propor um referencial teórico das ciências da religião e da psicologia analítica para o estudo do impasse cultura desenvolvimento econômico no âmbito da crise ecológica no rio Tietê, em São Paulo. A referida crise tomou proporções alarmantes na segunda metade do século XX, quando a poluição do rio atingiu trezentos e cinqüenta quilômetros de extensão e a má qualidade da água provocava doenças infecto contagiosas, impossibilitando o seu uso até mesmo para a geração de energia elétrica. Nossa hipótese é (1) que as causas da crise ecológica no rio Tietê não se encontram apenas na dimensão material, objetiva, mas também têm a ver com o distanciamento da relação do homem com o simbólico e o sagrado. E que, portanto, (2) a resolução desta crise também deve abranger a subjetividade humana. Para constatar estas hipóteses, fizemos uso de pesquisa teórica e histórica da crise ecológica no rio, bem como do simbolismo religioso da água, do rio e do imaginário paulistano ligado ao rio ao longo da história da cidade. Levantou-se também as estratégias atuais que vêm sendo usadas para lidar com a crise. O referencial teórico que permeia a dissertação é uma interface do conceito de símbolo das obras de Ernst Cassirer, Mircea Eliade e Carl G. Jung. Concluímos que as causas da crise ecológica no Tietê estão ligadas com a perda de significado do simbolismo da água e do rio, e que as estratégias para lidar com a mesma devem incluir a dimensão cultural, espiritual e psíquica. Entendemos que é necessário considerar a integração entre objetividade e subjetividade, entre desenvolvimento cultural e econômico, para se pensar a crise mencionada, a fim de elaborar propostas que busquem re-vitalizar o símbolo do rio e da água visando o fim da crise ecológica no rio

O presente trabalho pretende unir-se aos estudos que tratam da experiência mediúnica a partir de uma compreensão propriamente psicológica, tendo como propósito a compreensão das vivências dos médiuns em três grupos religiosos Espiritismo Kardecista, Umbanda e Vale do Amanhecer. Por meio do método etnográfico e da observação participante ativa, tendo por base entrevistas semi-estruturadas e diários de campo, buscou-se compreender a relação do médium com os alegados espíritos e entidades e analisar a repercussão da vivência mediúnica na identidade e na vida do médium, identificando as características semelhantes e divergentes entre essas diferentes práticas sem desconsiderar seu contexto de ocorrência. Um total de quatro indivíduos homens e mulheres com pelo menos dezoito anos de idade por grupo religioso com pelo menos três anos de vinculação foram entrevistados. Tendo como apoio à interpretação mais livre do dado etnográfico, apresentou-se um modelo interpretativo baseado na Identidade Psicossocial, visando aliar a perspectiva da identidade social de H. Tajfel e J. C. Turner com aportes da Psicologia de C. G. Jung acerca da personalidade dos médiuns / This work aims to join the studies about the mediumistic experience from a strictly psychological perspective, with the purpose of understanding the experiences of mediums in three religious groups - Kardecist Spiritism, Umbanda and Vale do Amanhecer (Dawn of the Valley). Through the ethnographic method and active participant observation, based on semi-structured interviews and field diaries, it seeks to comprehend the medium\'s relationship with the alleged spirits and entities and to establish the role of possession on the identity of the medium by identifying the similar and differing aspects between these different religious practices without disregarding their occurrence context. Four individuals - men and women with at least eighteen years of age - by religious group with at least three years engaged on the specific religion were interviewed. In support of a freer interpretation of ethnographic data, it presents an interpretative model based on psychosocial identity (Paiva, 2007), aiming to combine the H. Tajfels and J. C. Turners social identity perspective with contributions of C. G. Jungs Analytical Psychologys on the personality of mediums

<p>Meditation, med ett ursprung från yoga, har blivit allt vanligare i friskvården mot fysiska stressymptom exempelvis för att minska muskelspänningar men även som ett verktyg för den egna personliga utvecklingen. Samtidigt som forskningsresultat visar på meditationens betydelse för fysisk kropp och det mentala finns rapporter från forskare som varnar för överdriven tilltro till undersökningar som inte verifierats eller varit undermåliga. Uppsatsens syfte har varit att studera meditation utifrån jungianskt och klassisk yogafilosofiskt perspektiv. Med detta som bakgrund har en intervjuundersökning gjorts för att få meditationsutövares svar på frågor om varför de börjat meditera, vilken effekt på den fysiska och mentala kroppen man upplever i samband med meditation och hur man vill beskriva meditationens betydelse för sin personliga utveckling. Metoden som använts är inspirerad av fenomenografi. Resultaten tyder på att de intervjuade från början fokuserat på meditationens betydelse för att minska stress, spänningar med mera, men efterhand även blivit intresserade av meditation för sin personliga utveckling. De intervjuade beskriver meditationen som ett led i att lära sig förstå dynamiken mellan det medvetna och det omedvetna och få förståelse för sin egen utveckling. Studien visar på betydelsen av god kvalitet på forskningen för att kunna påvisa effekten av meditation och dess möjligheter.</p>

Esta dissertação apresenta a inerência do problema do inconsciente à trajetória intelectual de Gilles Deleuze. Tendo como horizonte Diferença e Repetição, que responderia, entre outros, à tentativa de construir uma noção de inconsciente como um campo imanente correlata à crítica da imagem tradicional do pensamento, mostramos como este projeto já estava em germe em seus estudos monográficos sobre Hume, Bergson, Nietzsche, Proust e Sacher-Masoch. Junto à problematização do inconsciente como um campo ou um plano assubjetivo, Deleuze pensa os processos sintéticos de constituição do sujeito no tempo ou as individuações impessoais a partir da repetição, conceito ontológico maior, através de sínteses operadas pelo hábito, pela memória, pelo eterno retorno e pelo instinto de morte. Primeiramente apresentadas nas monografias de Deleuze, Diferença e Repetição reapresenta estas sínteses do tempo ou do inconsciente, refundando a estética transcendental. Recolocar o problema do inconsciente fornecendo-lhe um estatuto ontológico positivo depende de sua interlocução com as psicanálises freudiana e lacaniana e com as ontologias do negativo das quais eram tributárias. / The following dissertation introduces the \"unconscious\" as an intrinsical matter of Gilles Deleuze\'s intellectual path. Having as a horizon \"Difference and Repetition\", which would answer, among others, the attempt of constructing a notion of the \"unconscious\" as an \"immanent field\", simultaneously with the critic of the traditional image of thought, it is shown how this project was already being developt on his monographic studies about Hume, Bergson, Nietzsche, Proust and Sacher-Masoch. Together with the \"unconscious\" issue as a field, Deleuze thinks both the temporal and the constitutional of the subject, or of the unpersonal individualizations, processes from the repetition, major ontological concept, through the description of syntheses operated by habit, memory, the eternal return and by the death instinct. Firstly introduced on Deleuze\'s monographys, \"Diference and Repetition\" reintroduces these synthesis as of the \"time\" or of the \"unconscious\", refunding a transcendental esthetics. Replace the \"unconscious\" problem giving it a positive ontological status, depends on it\'s dialogue with Freud\'s and Lacan\'s psychoanalysis and with the ontologies of the negative, which they were tributed to.

Il y eut sans doute deux Jung. Celui qui s’adressa à son époque, psychiatre, théoricien d’une psychologie de l’inconscient, et celui qui vécut la nuit, solitaire, homme de l’ombre, consignant ses expériences « secrètes » (visions, rêves, dialogues avec l’âme) dans un ouvrage qui ne fut jamais publié de son vivant : le LIVRE ROUGE. Jung tente d’y traduire les « inexprimables » régions de la psyché dont les cratères s’ouvrirent ainsi à lui, lieux d’exils et de découvertes, comme si s’était révélé, à travers eux, le plus incandescent langage de l’inconscient. La somme de ces retranscriptions donne un livre polymorphe, endiablé par des images, des incantations, des dialogues avec les morts. Sous l’emprise totale de l’imaginaire, Jung décrit une extravagante déambulation intérieure, une généalogie vivante des métamorphoses de l’âme, une odyssée des morts. Et même une cosmologie. De quoi le LIVRE ROUGE pourrait-il donc être, dans ces conditions, le témoignage ? En quel sens a-t-il pu constituer, comme Jung le confiera en fin de vie, le noyau de tous ses travaux ? Un livre sauvage et halluciné peut-il véritablement donner lieu aux principes méthodologiques et thérapeutiques d’une psychologie de l’inconscient ? Est-ce l’occasion d’y découvrir le propre d’un langage primitif de la psyché, un langage de la « nuit » ? Est-il un pas de côté, en direction de l’Orient, afin d’adapter notre approche de l’inconscient aux principes d’une sagesse ou d’une mystique ? Existerait-il donc une psychologie, fondée sur un tel rapprochement, dont les principes puissent irriguer, comme une seule et même vague, les plaines de l’Orient et de l’Occident ? Y trouverait-on l’invitation à recomposer des affinités avec les pratiques divinatoires ? Si nous tentons de relier la science empirique de Jung à la cosmogonie décrite par le LIVRE ROUGE, serions-nous alors en mesure de fouler le sol (racines historiques et socle épistémologique) d’une psychologie cosmique ? Est-il en effet possible d’ajuster les concepts traditionnels de l’inconscient aux ivresses d’une cosmologie primitive et imaginaire ? Serait-ce là le projet, à entrevoir et définir, d’une cosmologie de l’inconscient ? / There were without doubt two Jung. The one who lived in his time, the psychiatrist, theorist of a psychology of the unconscious, and the one who lived at night, man of the shadows, recounting his “secret” experiences (visions, dreams, dialogues with the soul) in a book that was not published during his lifetime : the RED BOOK. In it, Jung tries to articulate the “inexpressible” regions of the psyche whose craters opened up to him in this manner, places of exiles and of discoveries, revealing the most incandescent language of the unconscious. The result is a polymorphous work, a frenzy of images, incantations and dialogues with the dead. Under the total control of an imaginary world, Jung describes an extravagant inner journey, a live genealogy of the metamorphoses of the soul, an odyssey of the dead. And even more : a cosmology. As such, what is the RED BOOK thus an account of ? In what way does it represent, as Jung revealed at the end of his life, the nucleus of his lifetime work ? Can a book that is wild and hallucinatory truly engender methodological and therapeutic principles of a psychology of the unconscious ? Does it provide the opportunity to discover the characteristics of a primitive language of the psyche, a language of the “night” ? Is it a sidestep towards the Orient, so as to adapt our approach of the unconscious to the principles of a wisdom or a mystical way ? Does a psychology therefore exist, founded on this analogy, whose principles can irrigate, like a single and only wave, the plains of the Orient and of the Western world ? Does it provide us an invitation to reconstruct an affinity with the practice of divination ? If we try to connect Jung’s empirical science with the cosmogony described by the RED BOOK, would we be able to walk on the ground (the historical roots and epistemological base) of a cosmic psychology ? Is it in fact possible to adjust the traditional concepts of the unconscious to the exhilaration of a primitive and imaginary cosmology ? Would this be the project, to discern and to define, that underpins a cosmology of the unconscious ?

This dissertation focuses on the way in which the South African artist Bettie Cilliers-Barnard managed to concretise her innermost thoughts and feelings in selected mandala paintings, specifically Mandala II (1991), Wind directions (2001) and Birds heralding the Light (2007) during the last phase of her life. The image of the mandala, which is symbolically understood to be an organisational structure of unconscious processes, is read and interpreted by means of Jungian concepts such as the individuation process and the concept of the Self. Jung was especially interested in coming to terms with the circle as characteristic of the mandala’s psychological influence on a person. In Jung’s theorising, the unconscious the creative process plays an important part in the concretisation of the psyche. Cilliers-Barnard was interested in both the nature of the creative process as well as the mandala as symbol. The dissertation emphasises the development of Cilliers-Barnard’s intuitive and spontaneous painting process and contextualises her influence in the South African art landscape. A number of parallels have been drawn between the Russian-German artist Wassily Kandinsky and Cilliers-Barnard with regard to both spiritual and intuitive artistic processes as well as the representation of the circle that is found repeatedly in paintings by both artists. In the oeuvres of both artists these approaches are a way of reproducing inner and unintentional experiences. Cilliers-Barnard added meaningful content to her works by combining ideas gleaned from her emotions, soul and mental processes. By focusing on the individuation processes in the mandalas by Cilliers-Barnard mentioned above, the dissertation sets out to demonstrate how she uses both form and content in her artworks in order to establish a type of inner dialogue. This inner dialogue, which in terms of form includes especially the circle, other geometric motifs as well as the bird, the tree and on a more abstract level the family, is used as symbolic point of departure for reading the representative artworks with the final focus on a type of simplification and summary of the convictions of her soul. / MA (History of Art), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

OPSOMMING Heteroseksuele interaksie word deur adverteerders in televisieadvertensies aangewend en die doel van die studie was om te bepaal hoe kykers dit ervaar. Data is ingesamel deur `n aantal advertensies aan skoolkinders te vertoon waarna onderhoude gevoer is om vas te stel hoe die kinders die advertensies ervaar het. Daar is van konsepte vanuit die analitiese sielkunde gebruik gemaak om kodes te identifiseer. Die navorser het deur die tegniek van inhoudsontleding die voorkoms van manifestasies van die kontraseksuele komplekse in die onderhoude bestudeer. Daar is bevind dat die erotiese aspekte van die konraseksuele komplekse by voorkeur in die bestudeerde advertensies aangewend is en dat deelnemers daarop gelet het. SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to investigate a style of advertising from the perspective of the Analytical Psychology. The style involves the depiction of a young man and woman in a state of interaction with one another. In an attempt to understand how the viewer experiences this, concepts from the Analytical Psychology of C.G. Jung were used. Jung claimed that the psyche contains constructs which he termed archetypes. Archetypes are ideas and predispositions, organisms are born possessing these. If the theory is correct, it can be assumed that these constructs will influence human behaviour. The archetypes responsible for initiating heterosexual interest are called the anima and the animus. The prevalence of different aspects of these in four television commercials as experienced by participants during interviews was studied by means of content analysis. Sexual manifestations were found to be the most prominently used aspects of the anima and the animus to market the advertised products. / PSYCHOLOGY / MA(SS) (PSYCHOLOGY)
