Available at: http://scholarship.claremont.edu/lux/vol3/iss1/15 Shadraconis: Leaders and Heroes: Modern Day Archetypes Shadraconis 1 Leaders and Heroes: Modern Day Archetypes Sophon Shadraconis Claremont Graduate University Abstract This paper explores the salience of archetypes through modern day idealization of leaders as heroes. The body of research in evolutionary psychology and ethology provide support for archetypal theory and the influence of archetypes (Hart & Brady, 2005; Maloney, 1999). Our idealized self is reflected in archetypes and it is possible that we draw on archetypal themes to compensate for a reduction in meaning in our modern day work life. Archetypal priming can touch a person’s true self and result in increased meaning in life. According to Faber and Mayer (2009), drawing from Jung (1968), an archetype is an, “internal mental model of a typical, generic story character to which an observer might resonate emotionally” (p. 307). Most contemporary researchers maintain that archetypal models are transmitted through culture rather than biology, as Jung originally argued (Faber & Mayer, 2009). Archetypes as mental models can be likened to image schemas, foundational mind/brain structures that are developed during human pre-verbal experience (Merchant, 2009).

  • Archetypes in Literature
    Archetypes in Literature Situational, Character and Symbolic What is an archetype? • An archetype is a term used to describe universal symbols that evoke deep and sometimes unconscious responses in a reader • In literature, characters, images, and themes that symbolically embody universal meanings and basic human experiences, regardless of when or where they live, are considered archetypes. Situational Archetype • Situations that occur over and over in different versions of the story. • For example, in versions of Cinderella, a young girl seeks freedom from her current situation. She undergoes some kind of transformation and is better off at the end of the story. Situational- The Quest • Describes the search for someone or something, which when found and brought back will restore balance to the society. Situational- The Task • The task is the superhuman feat must be accomplished in order to fulfill the ultimate goal. Situational- The Journey • The hero is sent in search for some truth of information necessary to restore life, justice, and/or harmony to the kingdom. • The journey includes a series of trials the hero will face along the way. Situational- The Initiation • The initiation refers to the moment, usually psychological, in which the hero comes into maturity. • The hero gains a new awareness into the nature of problems and understands his/ her responsibility for trying to solve the issue. Situational- The Fall • This archetype describes a descent in action from a higher to a lower position in life. • This fall is often accompanied by expulsion from a kind of paradise as a penalty for breaking the rules. Situational- Death and Rebirth • This is the most common of situational archetypes.

  • Knowing God 'Other-Wise': the Wise Old Woman
    Knowing God “Other-wise”: The Wise Old Woman Archetype in George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie and “The Golden Key” Katharine Bubel “Old fables are not all a lie/That tell of wondrous birth, Of Titan children, father Sky,/And mighty mother Earth . To thee thy mother Earth is sweet,/Her face to thee is fair, But thou, a goddess incomplete,/Must climb the starry stair. Be then thy sacred womanhood/A sign upon thee set, A second baptism—understood--/For what thou must be yet.” —George MacDonald, To My Sister A consistent occurrence within the narrative archetypal pattern of The Journey is the appearance of the Wise Old Woman, a seer, encourager and advisor to those who have responded to the Call to Adventure. Such a figure is featured prominently in several of George MacDonald’s writings, though the focus of this paper is on his children’s fairy tales, The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie, and“The Golden Key.” Since the Journey is a psychological one toward spiritual wholeness, for MacDonald, I borrow from Jungian theory to denote the Wise Old Woman as a form of anima, or female imago, who helps to develop the personality of the protagonist. But to leave things there would not encompass the sacramental particularity and universal intent of MacDonald’s fantasy: for the quest is ultimately a sacred journey that every person can make towards God. As Richard Reis writes, “If in one sense [MacDonald’s] muse was mythic- archetypal-symbolic, it was, in another way, deliberately didactic and thus ‘allegorical’ in purpose if not in achievement” (124).

  • The Damsel in Distress
    THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS: RESCUING WOMEN FROM AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY By MICHAEL A. SOLIS A capstone submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Liberal Studies Writing under the direction of Dr. Lantzas And approved by _____________________________ Dr. Lantzas Camden, New Jersey December 2016 CAPSTONE ABSTRACT The Damsel in Distress: Rescuing Women from American Mythology By MICHAEL A. SOLIS Capstone Director: Dr. Lantzas Mythology is arguably the most powerful source of influencing and shaping society’s gender roles and beliefs; additionally, mythology provides an accurate reflection of society’s gender roles, general attitudes, fears, and preoccupations. Young boys and girls learn how to negotiate a complex world of possibilities, as well as manage gender expectations through observing gods, superheroes, and other notable characters found in mythological stories. American mythology, to include comic books, the superheroes upon which the literature is based, and the associated cartoons, motion pictures, merchandize, and fashion, contributes to an historical foundation of misogynistic entertainment and serves as didactic material for children and adults. The misogynistic nuances of the comic book storyline are not overt attempts at relegating women; instead, the influence is much more subtle and older than American mythology; rather, this debilitating feature is embedded in our psyche. Although the first comic book was printed in ii 1938, American mythology is largely influenced by Greek mythology, a major influence on western civilization. Overt and subtle misogynistic nuances have always existed in the patriarchal narrative of mythology, American, Greek, and beyond.

  • Literature and Life Through the Lens of the Archetypes by Omdrea
    Literature and Life Through the Lens of the Archetypes by Omdrea Walker Bachelor of Education, University of Victoria, 1997 A Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF EDUCATION in the area of Curriculum Studies: Curriculum Leadership in BC Department of Curriculum and Instruction ©Omdrea Walker 2019 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This project may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Abstract The purpose of this project is to illustrate the benefits of using the archetypes to help educators enrich their use of BC’s New Curriculum and to provide resources and methods for teachers to use the archetypes in the English Language Arts classroom. In chapter 1, I introduce my inspiration for the creation of the archetypes study as well my rationale which describes the effects on improved student engagement and literacy skills. Chapter 2, the literature review, includes an examination of studies which support the idea that fostering personal connections during literature study positively affects student motivation and improves reading comprehension. The literature related to personal intelligence, social intelligence and the study of myth suggests that archetypal analysis promotes student ability to make text-to-self connections. According to the literature reviewed, making personal connections results in an augmentation of metacognitive skills which promotes deeper thinking when reading. This helps readers further develop literacy skills, a sense of citizenship and improved overall mental wellbeing. Chapter 3 contains a teacher resource package with detailed lesson plans and suggested methods of instruction supported by connections to curricular content and competencies from BC’s New Curriculum.

  • Narrative Structure and Purpose in Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot
    Portrait of the Artist as a Young Clown: Narrative Structure and Purpose in Arnold Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire Mike Fabio Introduction In September of 1912, a 37-year-old Arnold Schoenberg sat in a Berlin concert hall awaiting the premier of his 21st opus, Pierrot Lunaire. A frail man, as rash in his temperament as he was docile when listening to his music, Schoenberg watched as the lights dimmed and a fully costumed Pierrot took to the stage, a spotlight illuminating him against a semitransparent black screen through which a small instrumental ensemble could be seen. But as Pierrot began singing, the audience quickly grew uneasy, noting that Pierrot was in fact a woman singing in the most awkward of styles against a backdrop of pointillist atonal brilliance. Certainly this was not Beethoven. In a review of the concert, music critic James Huneker wrote: The very ecstasy of the hideous!…Schoenberg is…the cruelest of all composers, for he mingles with his music sharp daggers at white heat, with which he pares away tiny slices of his victim’s flesh. Anon he twists the knife in the fresh wound and you receive another thrill…. There is no melodic or harmonic line, only a series of points, dots, dashes or phrases that sob and scream, despair, explode, exalt and blaspheme.1 Schoenberg was no stranger to criticism of this nature. He had grown increasingly contemptuous of critics, many of whom dismissed his music outright, even in his early years. When Schoenberg entered his atonal period after 1908, the criticism became far more outrageous, and audiences were noted to have rioted and left the theater in the middle of pieces.

The soci- olinguistics and psycholinguistics behind Marshall Mathers and his music, though, are deserving of a PBS documentary. Eminem capitalizes on his lin- guistic genie with as much savvy as he does on his alter egos. He “flips the linguistics,” as he boasts in “Fast Lane” from Bad Meets Evil’s 2011 album Hell: The Sequel. As its title suggests, this essay focuses initially on the fact that rap is deeply rooted in black English, relating this to Eminem in the context of much information on the language of (Detroit) blacks. This linguistic excur- sion may not endear me to readers who hate grammar (or to impatient fans), but it ultimately helps to understand how Eminem and hip hop managed to adopt each other.
