Toby Nicholas Reynolds Starving sons and hungry daughters: A Post-Jungian Analysis of Fatherhood in Contemporary Cinema Toby Nicholas Reynolds Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Art, Media and American Studies University of East Anglia January 2018 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract To date, the onscreen father is a relatively under-explored area of cinematic masculinities. Adding to the existing literature on this (e.g. Bruzzi 2005, Hamad 2014), the thesis seeks to explore and analyse the presence and importance of the filmic father. It approaches this by examining the concept of ‘father hunger’, a term popularised by the mytho-poetic men’s movement from the early 1990s that posits that fathers are considered a vital link to the masculine continuum. By using a post-Jungian methodology in analysing how two auteur directors (Sam Mendes and Paul Thomas Anderson) symbolically mediate onscreen representations of father figures and ‘father hunger’ within their films, the thesis offers a new perspective on this area of cinematic masculinities. Auteur film theory was chosen for the project as one of the functions of the auteur, as held by Staiger (2003), is to act as a conscious analyser of historical and cultural citations; in other words the auteur can present and analyse perspectives on gender, in this case, masculinities and fathers. The auteur also performs a stylistic and signatorial function which meshes with the symbolism analysed by the chosen methodology. By utilising a post-Jungian methodology as a different but equally fruitful psychological perspective, the concepts of archetypes and symbols, via close textual analysis of the films, are found to reveal the depths, complexities and nuances of Mendes and Anderson’s depictions of fathers and of masculinities. The thesis concludes that by virtue of Anderson and Mendes’ depictions of multi-faceted and polysemous father figures throughout their oeuvres, the auteur is shown to act not only as a conscious analyser, but also as a symbolic mediator of historical and cultural gender citations, in this case of masculinities and masculine identities.

A lowering of attention or consciousness. Often observed just before creative work or during those incubation periods when the unconscious prepares a new stage of growth. Absolute knowledge: the acausal foreknowledge, relatively independent of limitations of time and space, possessed by the unconscious and apparent in constellated archetypes and in synchronicity . Acausal OOrderedness:rderedness: the underlying interconnectedness of psychic and physical processes. Synchronicity is one expression. Time is a concrete continuum possessing basic qualities that can manifest simultaneously in different places, as the ancient Chinese thought. Active IImaginationmagination ::: holding an image in awareness while fantasizing and associating to it to bring it to life and discover its nuances and unconscious roots. Also focuses and unifies the four orienting functions of consciousness. Active imagination is the indispensable second part of any deep analysis and bases itself on the imaginal nature of the psyche . AffectAffect----ego:ego: the modification of the ego or "I" by an emerging strongly toned complex . With painful feelings the modification can bring about a restriction, a withdrawal of many parts of the normal ego . Aion: a lion-headed, snake-encircled Mithraic God-image of time (also called Kronos or Deus Leontocephalus) who for Jung represented death/rebirth and a psychological union of opposites like light and darkness, male and female, creation and destruction.

  • Multilingualism in Guizi Lai Le (Devils on the Doorstep)
    Takeda, K. (2014). The interpreter as traitor: Multilingualism in Guizi lai le (Devils on the Doorstep ). Linguistica Antverpiensia, New Series. Themes in Translation Studies, 13 , 93–111. The interpreter as traitor: Multilingualism in Guizi lai le (Devils on the Doorstep )1 Kayoko Takeda Rikkyo University [email protected] This paper discusses ways in which multilingualism is represented in an award-winning Chinese film, Guizi lai le , and its subtitling. Known as Devils on the Doorstep in English, the movie approaches its multilingual setting realistically: Chinese villagers speak in Chinese, Japanese soldiers in Japanese, and interpreters mediate their communication. In examining the Chinese, Japanese and English subtitles of the film, the study focuses on the different strategies used by the translators to represent multilingualism and to subtitle offensive language. The behavior and fate of the Chinese interpreter in the film is also explored, with special attention to the power interpreters possess for controlling and manipulating information and the notion of the interpreter as traitor and war criminal in the context of conflict. Findings of this research invite further investigation into how the audience views multilingualism in cinema and how the identity and loyalty of interpreters is depicted in war-themed movies. Collaborative work by researchers from different language and cultural backgrounds should also be encouraged. 1. Introduction Multilingualism in movies is not a new phenomenon, as Gambier (2012, p. 46) and

  • Imaginarios Sociales Sobre Uso De Tecnología Y Relaciones Interpersonales En Jóvenes Universitarios a Través Del Cine De Ficción Como Recurso Didáctico
    https://doi.org/10.17163/soph.n28.2020.06 SOCIAL IMAGINARIES ABOUT THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS THROUGH FICTION FILMS AS A DIDACTIC RESOURCE Imaginarios sociales sobre uso de tecnología y relaciones interpersonales en jóvenes universitarios a través del cine de ficción como recurso didáctico * JULIO CUEVAS ROMO Universidad de Colima, México [email protected] Orcid Code: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-1325-4029 Abstract From the use of fiction cinema as a teaching resource, an educational experience is exposed with students of the Bachelor of Mathematics Teaching who participated in a film debate cycle focused on science fiction and possible worlds. Multiple have been the approaches that have been given to the cinema within the educational processes, however, to consolidate and systematize this potential, a categorization is proposed based on the didactic objectives starting from the most common uses. Through observing the film Her, the social imaginaries of young people are analyzed regarding the use and abuse of technology and how this impacts on interpersonal relationships. The work methodology focuses on what Torres (2015) proposed as a conceptualization of social imaginary and its potential within the processes of educational intervention, complemented by the construction of open question instruments with the proposed by Pérez-Millán (2014) to the analysis of audiovisual products. The results corroborate some aspects regarding the position of young people, regarding virtual spaces of socialization and their impact on face-to face spaces in previous research as Ruelas (2013) or Sosa (2018). Social imaginaries that are detonated from fictional narratives such as cinema can be used to carry out specific educational interventions.

  • Oedipus —Myth, Reality and the Distribution of Guilt
    Oedipus —Myth, Reality and the Distribution of Guilt: With special consideration of Oedipus at Colonus1 by Detelina Stoykova, M.A., M.A. The myth of Oedipus the King and the eponymous Oedipus complex has ignited our imagination with its mystifying power and dramatic expression as told by the ancient poets. As the myth has been retold and has endured through ancient times, so have its interpretations. However, the Oedipus complex is rarely included in our case formulations anymore, as if it had exhausted itself and became a cliché, more readily embraced by pop-culture than by scientific circles. Some authors have challenged its universality and central importance; others have noted a whole analysis can go without the emergence of Oedipal material, suggesting that there is deficit of Oedipus complex issues (O'Shaughnessy, 1989). Still others have gone as far as to revoke the complex from its eponymous bearer (Eisner, 1987; Steiner, 1985). If the cornerstone of psychoanalysis has become clinically insignificant, theoretically, it had become its Gordian knot to be untied from many different perspectives with far-reaching inferences. Freud saw Sophocles’ drama in a way that no one had seen it before—the significance of seeing the oracle’s wish as the unconscious wish, and myth as an emanation of unconscious dynamics, established a paradigm shift in our understanding of myth in general. Even though there is no single work defining the Oedipus concept, Freud elaborated on the structure and its universality throughout his work: The Interpretation of Dreams (1965); The Ego and the Id (1960); Totem and Taboo (1950); The Future of an Illusion (1927); and, Moses and Monotheism (1939).

The desired goal of harmony between conscious and unconscious comes about through the process of individuation, an irrational life experience also commonly expressed in symbols. Jung, Volume Psychology and Alchemy C. Originally the spirit was conceived as a demon which came upon man from the outside; those demon have been partially transformed into voluntary acts by the expansion of consciousness, which has begun to transform formerly unconscious areas of the psyche.

The goal of the Yogi in contemplating the processes depicted in the mandala is to become inwardly aware of the deity; through contemplation, the practitioner may realize himself as God, and return from the illusion of individual existence into the universal totality of the divine.
