As I’m sure most of you are aware… it is, or is soon to be, 2019! And, as I’m sure at least a few of you are aware, that’s us now in the year in which Blade Runner is set. That gives us twelve months to witness attack ships off the shoulder of Orion or watch C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate for that film’s predictions to be realised. Unlikely I know, but perhaps it will all come to pass some time after the year it was conjectured as a possible future, you know, like 1984 did… There is actually a proper reason for mentioning Blade Runner, for it will take its place as part of a four-month season we’re doing in partnership with the National Museum of Scotland (where the film will screen) to tie in with their awesome ‘Robots’ exhibition, which will kick off this month with a special screening of Fritz Lang’s silent masterpiece, Metropolis, with DJ soundtrack by Le Vangelis (no, not The Vangelis). So, the museum has a replica of Maria, the robot in the film, and we have the film! (Wait a minute, didn’t The Vangelis do the score for Blade Runner? Oh, the weird interconnectedness of things…) In other news, this Jan/Feb double issue is so bung-fu’ of Oscar hopefuls I’m not sure where to start! Watch these titles figure hugely come the time:The Favourite, Stan & Ollie, Colette, Beautiful Boy, Mary Queen of Scots, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Green Book, If Beale Street Could Talk… Because this is a double issue, I would normally get to guess the Oscar winners with the knowledge of who’s nominated, but this year I’m going to have to do it stone cold.

  • Glossary of Jungian Terms
    Glossary of Jungian Terms Active Imagination: A technique of concentrating on dream or fantasy images by lowering the level of conscious activity. This allows the images to develop according to their own logic and furnishes a means of exposing unconscious contents. Affect: Emotion. A primary force exercised by the unconscious over which the individual has little control. Amplification: A process of interpretation, important in the analysis of dreams, it depends upon finding the appropriate context for images by searching for parallels in other dreams or in myths. Images in films can be amplified by cross-reference to other images whether in the same film or in comparable sources. Androgyne: (Also hermaphrodite.) An imago having the sexual characteris­ tics of both male and female in equal measure. In its perfected form it represents the linkage of anima and animus in a syzygy that reflects the balancing of opposite elements in the differentiated self. Anima and Animus: The contrasexual archetypes. The first, experienced by men, represents the hidden feminine aspects of their personalities; and the second (present in the dreams of women) symbolises the concealed masculine in them. They mediate between the ego and the unconscious, and thus are opposites to the persona. See also syzygy. Apperception: A process whereby a new psychic content is recognised so that it becomes clear. Directed apperceptive processes, like thinking, depend on rational, conscious activity; undirected apperception, such as dreaming and fantasising, is irrational. Archetypal Images: The images which clothe the archetypes and enable the conscious mind to know unconscious contents. Often recognisable by their numinosity or magical charge.
