Sublimation in the Work of May Sinclair: “The Flaw in the Crystal”
Sublimation in the Work of May Sinclair: “The Flaw in the Crystal” Marianne Choquet Masters Thesis Construction and Representation of Cultural Identities Universitat de Barcelona 2007-2008 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 3 ADAM AND EVE 10 SUBLIMATION 14 THE UNCANNY STRANGERS WE ARE TO OURSELVES 17 FICTION 22 CONCLUSION 52 BIBLIOGRAPHY 59 2 This thesis argues that desire in May Sinclair’s “The Flaw in the Crystal” (1912), is depicted as a driving force urging a new paradigm for the male/female relationship in modern society. It begins by exploring the symbolic meaning of two female icons of the Judaeo-Christian traditions; Eve and Mary, and how their images have contributed emotionally as well as physically to woman’s development and affected man’s. While deconstructing the text and grammatical structure of its semantics, this essay asks the reader to consider the internal and personal process of sublimation required to attain the spiritual/physical merger encouraged in Sinclair’s text as well as how that reflects on the external and collective process. Finally, it offers the reader a vision of how these processes not only mirror each other but present a more active way to participate in human evolution. INTRODUCTION Two years shy of the beginning of the end of The Old World Order1, in 1912, English writer May Sinclair (Mary Amelia St. Clair Sinclair) (1863- 1946) was calling for the beginning of the end of another world order; the patriarchal society we are still deconstructing today. A once popular but, unfortunately, today little known author of poetry, short stories, essays, and twenty-four novels, she also wrote two book- length philosophical studies of idealism2. -

Introduction: Sexual Magic and Social Responsibility Dion Fortune is a fascinating and neglected figure of 20th century occultism. In her lifetime, she published a prodigious number of books and articles on both occult and non-occult matters, and authored a number of novels. A full exploration of her work would take up many more pages that I have at my disposal, so I have limited myself to what I believe to be the most unique aspect of her work and the one which has the most significance for the modern study of Esotericism: her approach to sexual magic. -
The Pastoral Problem of Masturbation by John F
The Pastoral Problem of Masturbation by John F. Harvey, OSFS Introduction Since volumes have been written about masturbation, one wonders why still another theologian feels the need to write about the subject. Is it not presumptuous to believe that one has something new to say about an inveterate problem of both men and women over the centuries? I respond that there is something new to be said on the subject, for example, one's response to new thinking on the matter, as well as one's personal experience in counseling persons struggling with the habit of masturbation. In this endeavor I have garnered fresh insights concerning the psychology of masturbation from the study of sexual addiction, of which masturbation is a prime example. I have also been impressed by spiritual support groups which take the habit of masturbation seriously, such as Sexaholics Anonymous (S.A.), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (S.L.A.A.), Homosexuals Anonymous (H.A.) and Courage. This is a welcome change from the Ann Landers theology that masturbation can be a form of therapy. Another reason why I attempt to write on the subject is that many persons struggling with same-sex attractions do not receive adequate spiritual and moral guidance. In some instances they are misguided, having been told that it enhances the performance of the marital act, or that it is part of the process of recovery from sexual difficulties. It is now well known that the habit of masturbation reaches into all the stages of life from infancy to old age. It is found among children, teenagers, young adults, married folk, the aged, religious, seminarians, and priests. -
Sigmund Freud, Sublimation, and the Russian Silver Age Ana Siljak
Sigmund Freud, Sublimation, and the Russian Silver Age Ana Siljak Freud’s lengthiest and most exhaustive exposition of sublimation and its particular relationship to knowledge and creativity is acknowledged to be his Leonardo da Vinci and a Memory of his Childhood, published in 1910. It has been called “fundamental to psychoanalytical thought,” and the “foundational” text on sublimation.1 Freud had already discussed the idea of sublimation – the redirection of sexual impulses away from their original objects and toward “higher” pursuits – in numerous theoretical texts prior to his work on Leonardo. Curiously, however, Freud chose to develop his theory most fully through an idiosyncratic psychological biography of Leonardo Da Vinci. A few explanations have been advanced for Freud’s interest in Leonardo. Leonardo had already been canonized by the nineteenth century as a particular kind of modern genius: a man with a rare combination of dispassionate analysis, an urge to experiment, a daring imagination, and an incredible artistic talent. He inspired Goethe, Kant, and Stendahl to see him as a misunderstood prophet of the Enlightenment. His art was similarly perceived as enigmatic: the Mona Lisa, most probably painted between 1503 and 1506 was, in the nineteenth century, already the iconic painting it is to this day. Writers as diverse as Theophile Gautier, Jules Michelet, and George Sand mused upon its beauty, and, in particular, the “mystery” of the Mona 1 Rossella Valdre, On Sublimation: A Path to the Destiny of Desire, Theory, and Treatment (London: Karnac Books, 2014), 20-22. Bradley Collins notes that dozens of books and articles have been written on this single work. -

Volume 2, Spring 2020
JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES Spring 2020 COLLEGE OF Saint Elizabeth Title: Fathering Emotions: The Relationship between Fathering and Emotional Development Author(s): Anthony J. Ferrer Abstract The study of child development is an ever growing and consistently important area of psychology. Research suggests that parenting starts as early as conception and that a developing fetus can be affected by maternal and parental bonding in addition to biological influences. However there is a lack of research regarding the effect fathering has on the child’s development and there is a surplus of research regarding the effect of mothers parenting on the child’s development. Currently research neglects families raised by single fathers, two fathers, and other cis-male and trans-male caregivers. This paper will provide an in-depth review of emotional development in children, “parenting”, and will highlight the limited literature on the effects of fathering on emotional development. Title: Brain Impairments in Maltreated Children Author(s): Carl C. Papandrea Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore the brain development in typically developing and maltreated children as noted by neuroimaging technology. The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides insight into how early experiences affect the developing brain, and provides biological implications for what practitioners identified through behavioral, psychological, and emotional terms. Neurobiological impairments have been seen in children who experience adverse childhood experiences, this paper reviews literature that identifies and explains these findings. Title: Common Personality Traits in Youth and Connection with Antisocial Personality Author(s): Carl C. Papandrea Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore the links between common maladaptive personality traits in youth with conduct problems and their connection to Antisocial Personality Disorder. -

Features of Waste Chemical Processing Germanium Concentrates
TECHNOGEN-2019 IV Congress “Fundamental research and applied developing of KnE Materials Science recycling and utilization processes of technogenic formations” Volume 2020 Conference Paper Features of Waste Chemical Processing Germanium Concentrates Igor Nikolaevich Tanutrov and Marina Nikolaevna Sviridova Institute of Metallurgy of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 101, Amundsen street, Ekaterinburg, Russia Abstract In order to increase the extraction of germanium in the technology of production of germanium concentrates, as well as finding ways to eliminate the accumulation of toxic waste using modern techniques and equipment, the physical and chemical properties of waste chemical processing of germanium concentrates (OHGC) of two domestic enterprises were experimentally studied. The main components of OHGC are: sulphate hemihydrate CaSO4·0.5H2O and hypochlorite Ca(OCl)2 calcium. The moisture content of the sludge amounted to 30–50 %. The content of germanium in the cakes of both companies is in the range of 0.20 and 0.27 %, respectively, indicating the feasibility of recovery in the Ge. At the same time, the samples of cakes differ significantly in the Corresponding Author: content of impurities, which depends on the types of raw materials in the preparation of Igor Nikolaevich Tanutrov concentrates. Granulometric composition of cakes is characterized by high dispersion. [email protected] With an average diameter of 12 µm, all particle sizes are in the range of 0.5-15 µm. Published: 31 December 2020 The distribution of particle sizes is shifted in interval of 0–15 µm, and the area of the particles less than 3 µm is not more than 10 %. -
Carbon Dioxide - Wikipedia
5/20/2020 Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a colorless gas with Carbon dioxide a density about 60% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It occurs naturally in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas. The current concentration is about 0.04% (412 ppm) by volume, having risen from pre-industrial levels of 280 ppm.[8] Natural sources include volcanoes, hot springs and geysers, and it is freed from carbonate rocks by dissolution in water and acids. Because carbon dioxide is soluble in water, it occurs naturally in groundwater, rivers and lakes, ice caps, glaciers and seawater. It is present in deposits of petroleum and natural gas. Carbon dioxide is odorless at normally encountered concentrations, but at high concentrations, it has a sharp and acidic odor.[1] At such Names concentrations it generates the taste of soda water in the Other names [9] mouth. Carbonic acid gas As the source of available carbon in the carbon cycle, atmospheric Carbonic anhydride carbon dioxide is the primary carbon source for life on Earth and Carbonic oxide its concentration in Earth's pre-industrial atmosphere since late Carbon oxide in the Precambrian has been regulated by photosynthetic organisms and geological phenomena. Plants, algae and Carbon(IV) oxide cyanobacteria use light energy to photosynthesize carbohydrate Dry ice (solid phase) from carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen produced as a waste Identifiers product.[10] CAS Number 124-38-9 (http://ww w.commonchemistr CO2 is produced by all aerobic organisms when they metabolize carbohydrates and lipids to produce energy by respiration.[11] It is y.org/ChemicalDeta returned to water via the gills of fish and to the air via the lungs of il.aspx?ref=124-38- air-breathing land animals, including humans.
