Luís Silveiro MESTRADO EM ESTUDOS INGLESES E AMERICANOS (Estudos Norte-Americanos: Cinema e Literatura) 2010 UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE LETRAS DEPARTAMENTO DE ESTUDOS ANGLÍSTICOS “9 into 7” Considerations on ‘V for Vendetta’: Book and Film. Luís Silveiro Dissertação orientada por Doutora Teresa Cid MESTRADO EM ESTUDOS INGLESES E AMERICANOS (Estudos Norte-Americanos: Cinema e Literatura) 2010 Abstract The current work seeks to contrast the book version of Alan Moore and David Lloyd‟s V for Vendetta (1981-1988) with its cinematic counterpart produced by the Wachowski brothers and directed by James McTeigue (2005). This dissertation looks at these two forms of the same enunciation and attempts to analise them both as cultural artifacts that belong to a specific time and place and as pseudo-political manifestos which extemporize to form a plethora of alternative actions and reactions. Whilst the former was written/drawn during the Thatcher years, the film adaptation has claimed the work as a herald for an alternative viewpoint thus pitting the original intent of the book with the sociological events of post 9/11 United States. Taking the original text as a basis for contrast, I have relied also on Professor James Keller‟s work V for Vendetta as Cultural Pastiche with which to enunciate what I consider to be lacunae in the film interpretation and to understand the reasons for the alterations undertaken from the book to the screen version. An attempt has also been made to correlate Alan Moore‟s original influences into the medium of a film made with a completely different political and cultural agenda.

  • Wolfgang Pauli 1900 to 1930: His Early Physics in Jungian Perspective
    Wolfgang Pauli 1900 to 1930: His Early Physics in Jungian Perspective A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota by John Richard Gustafson In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Advisor: Roger H. Stuewer Minneapolis, Minnesota July 2004 i © John Richard Gustafson 2004 ii To my father and mother Rudy and Aune Gustafson iii Abstract Wolfgang Pauli's philosophy and physics were intertwined. His philosophy was a variety of Platonism, in which Pauli’s affiliation with Carl Jung formed an integral part, but Pauli’s philosophical explorations in physics appeared before he met Jung. Jung validated Pauli’s psycho-philosophical perspective. Thus, the roots of Pauli’s physics and philosophy are important in the history of modern physics. In his early physics, Pauli attempted to ground his theoretical physics in positivism. He then began instead to trust his intuitive visualizations of entities that formed an underlying reality to the sensible physical world. These visualizations included holistic kernels of mathematical-physical entities that later became for him synonymous with Jung’s mandalas. I have connected Pauli’s visualization patterns in physics during the period 1900 to 1930 to the psychological philosophy of Jung and displayed some examples of Pauli’s creativity in the development of quantum mechanics. By looking at Pauli's early physics and philosophy, we gain insight into Pauli’s contributions to quantum mechanics. His exclusion principle, his influence on Werner Heisenberg in the formulation of matrix mechanics, his emphasis on firm logical and empirical foundations, his creativity in formulating electron spinors, his neutrino hypothesis, and his dialogues with other quantum physicists, all point to Pauli being the dominant genius in the development of quantum theory.

  • Synchronicity: an Acausal Connecting Principle
    “…a certain curious principle... [which] takes the coincidence of events in space and time as meaning something more than mere chance...” C. G. Jung, 1949 For Jung synchronicity was much more than simply a synonym for meaningful coincidences. He also conceived of it as an acausal connecting principle for all types of phenomena that could not be fully explained by standard notions of causality, including quantum randomness and the results of ESP experiments. “It would be most satisfactory of all if psyche and physis could be seen as complementary aspects of the same reality.” Wolfgang Pauli, 1952 An essential element of Jung’s theory of synchronicity is the distinction he made between: - the wider principle of synchronicity, the 'acausal connecting principle' of the subtitle of his treatise, - and the narrower category of synchronistic events, which he described as “a special instance of general acausal orderedness.” (Jung, Synchronicity: an acausal connecting principle) Coming under the wider conception of synchronicity as acausal orderedness: • properties of natural numbers • discontinuities of quantum physics • measurement of radioactive decay • ESP experiments Coming under the narrower conception of synchronicity as a special instance of acausal orderedness: • synchronistic events (meaningful coincidences) Contemporary influences on Jung in the conceptualisation of synchronicity: • Paul Kammerer, 1880-1926 • Richard Wilhelm, 1873-1930 • J. B. Rhine, 1895-1980 • Wolfgang Pauli, 1900-1958 Paul Kammerer was an Austrian biologist who for 20 years kept a log book of coincidences, published in 1919 as Das Gesetz der Serie. For Kammerer, each coincidence we perceive is a fleeting glimpse or tip of the iceberg of the underlying activity of seriality, which he held to be “ubiquitous and continuous in life, nature and cosmos.

II ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am delighted to present the 3rd volume of Different Strokes, an offi cial publication of Indian Psychiatric Society. The last two volumes were excellent collections of review articles on diverse topics. This year we are taking a different path by focusing on a unifying theme: Interfaces of Psychiatry. We realize the importance of addressing the issue of relationship of psychiatry with other disciplines. Yet, there is no book on this topic from an Indian perspective. To fi ll this gap, we have tried our best to cover almost all major interfaces ranging from biology to humanities and also parapsychology, which comes in our practice frequently but we fi nd little scientifi c literature on it. I hope this edition of Different Strokes will be useful for all the members of IPS and especially postgraduate students. I am grateful to all the offi ce bearers and the EC members for accepting the proposal of Publication Committee to bring out this book.
