Squeaky Wheels of New Zealand Cinema Brenda Allen* in Two Recent
The Man Alone, the Black Sheep and the Bad Apple: Squeaky Wheels of New Zealand Cinema Brenda Allen* In two recent New Zealand films, Black Sheep (Jonathan King, 2006) and Eagle vs Shark (Taika Waititi, 2007), the now passé trope of the Man Alone is framed as a squeaky wheel in love with its own malfunction. In King’s horror-comedy, a reluctant hero, Henry, who is pathologically afraid of sheep, fights his older brother Angus, a mutant were-sheep, with the assistance of his eco-activist love interest, Experience. By the end of the adventure Henry, a de facto city boy, reconciles with the land of his settler forebears. Waititi’s romantic comedy presents a self-absorbed and unromantic hero, Jarrod, who struggles to shine in the shadow of his deceased brother, Gordon. Jarrod and his dysfunctional father, Jonah, find themselves and each other through the supportive example and family values of love interest Lily. In both films the heroes begin as dysfunctional “men alone” and female characters, together with renewed contact with the land of their family homes, prove crucial to their catharsis, an outcome that is often missing in more traditional treatments of the trope. The strategy for recuperating these men alone involves Antipodean Camp, a style of humour identified by Nick Perry in 1998 and characterised by excess, reversal and parody. Perhaps because they come almost a decade later, Eagle vs Shark and Black Sheep do not encode the “genuflections to European taste” Perry notes in his examples, and, unlike those films, Black Sheep and Eagle vs Shark are self-aware enough to play on double meanings that point to “any idea of culture, including a national culture, as artifice” (Perry 14). -

Liturgical Responses to a Pandemic Crafting Comfort for Those We Serve Collected by Rabbi Shira Stern, D.Min, BCC [email protected] A.Traditional Liturgy Reframed: 1. Hashkiveinu during the Pandemic by Rav Jeffrey Astrachan This evening, we join with the rest of the world in praying for a quick and positive end to the crisis in which we find ourselves. We pray for those who are sick and dying, and for those tending to their care. We pray for their families, and for those who are most anxious about getting sick. We pray for leaders faced with making difficult choices with lasting consequences. We pray for students whose hopes for celebrating their accomplishments have been thwarted. We pray for all those in the work-force who have been – and who will be – directly impacted by the need for social-distancing. Tonight, I offer a prayer that comes to us from our liturgy, which we call “Hashkiveinu.” It is a nighttime prayer that asks God for protection and blessing. It seems fitting to offer these words tonight: Grant, O God, that we lie down in peace, and raise us up, our Guardian, to life renewed. Spread over us the shelter of Your peace. Guide us with Your good counsel; for Your Name’s sake, be our help. Shield and shelter us beneath the shadow of Your wings. Defend us against enemies, illness, war, famine and sorrow. Distance us from wrongdoing. For You, God, watch over us and deliver us. For You, God, are gracious and merciful. Guard our going and coming, to life and to peace evermore. -

AP Jungian Archetypes GO
SUMMARY OF JUNGIAN ARCHETYPES PHILLIP WEDGEWORTH, CENTER FOR THE HUMANITIES; DERIVED FROM THE WORK OF CARL JUNG 1 CHARACTERS ARCHETYPAL GENERAL EXAMPLES FROM POP CULTURE, ESSENTIAL DETAILS & EXAMPLES SPECIFIC EXAMPLES FROM LITERATURE CHARACTER FILM, LITERATURE, NEWS A. Lord Raglan in The Hero: A Study in Tradition, Myth, and Drama contends that this archetype is so well defined that the life of the protagonist can be clearly divided into a series of well-marked adventures, which strongly suggest a ritualistic pattern. Raglan finds that traditionally the hero's mother is a virgin, the circumstances of his conception are unusual, and at birth some attempt is made to kill him. He is, however, spirited away and reared by foster parents. We know almost nothing of his childhood, but upon reaching manhood he returns THE HERO to his future kingdom. After a victory over the king or a wild beast, he marries a princess, becomes king, reigns uneventfully, but later loses favor with the gods. He is then driven from the city after which he meets a mysterious death, often at the top of a hill. His body is not buried; but nevertheless, he has one or more holy sepulchers. Characters who exemplify this archetype to a greater or lesser extent are Oedipus, Theseus, Romulus, Perseus, Jason, Dionysos, Joseph, Moses, Elijah, Jesus Christ, Siegfried, Arthur, Robin Hood, Watu Gunung (Javanese), and Llew Llawgyffes (Celtic). B. An animal or more usually a human whose death in a public ceremony expiates THE some taint or sin that has been visited upon a community (e.g., Shirley Jackson's SCAPEGOAT "The Lottery"). -

Mixed Metaphors and Narrative Shifts: Archetypes
Mixed Metaphors and Narrative Shifts Archetypes Raya A. Jones Cardiff University Abstract. Jungian archetype theory exemplifies tensions between ways of questioning in psychology. Jung anchors his thesis in the contrasting discourses of biology and metaphysics, though his narrative presents a ‘whole’ transcending both. The present focus is on its problematic touch- down in the discourse of science. The essay considers, in turn, tensions specific to Jung’s writing, tensions between Jungian theory development and the logic of scientific discovery, and tensions inherent in post-Jungian revisions of archetype theory, culminating in the relationship between saying and seeing problematized by Wittgenstein. Throughout, the essay engages with Jung’s theorizing as itself a creative process, the products of which (the specific propositions debated by his followers and critics) may be viewed as crossroads requiring readers of Jung to make decisions as to which way to turn. In closing, the possibility of integrating Jung’s thought with a dialogical approach is indicated. Key Words: archetypes, Jung, language games, science vs art I am inclined to think that scientific discovery is impossible without faith in ideas which are of a purely speculative kind, and sometimes even quite hazy; a faith which is completely unwarranted from the point of view of science . (Popper, 1934/1958, p. 38) C.G. Jung (1954/1960a) believed that the theory of archetypes explains scientific theories, among other things: ‘All the most powerful ideas in history go back to archetypes . the central concepts of science, philo- sophy, and ethics are no exception to this rule’ (para. 342). Judged against scientific criteria, archetype theory has barely progressed from a speculative hazy idea, such as those to which Popper refers. -

Jungian Archetypes
Evan L, Vania C, Chevin J, Ellen P, Brian W, Grace Z Jungian Archetypes Carl Jung founded the key concept of archetypes contained within the ego, the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious, the ideas and memories shared in all humans. Jung explored the influences of the psyche parts of the mind, concerning the concept of recurring patterns, plotlines or figures. This idea is often portrayed as symbols or myths and occurs throughout the novel Three Day Road and the movie Whale Rider. In this analysis, the archetypes of the Anima and Animus, the Shadow, and the Sage are examined. There are three main classes of archetypes; archetypal characters, or personality archetypes, archetypal situations, and archetypal symbols. Personality archetypes relate to common patterns in the roles of characters, such as Elijah in the role of the Trickster archetype. Archetypal situations represent universal plotlines such as the Journey, the Quest, and the Death and Rebirth, while archetypal symbols usually include polarities such as Light and Dark or Spring and Winter, often signalling or representing good or evil. The archetype of the Shadow is established with suppressed desires, inclination, and flaws in the unconscious mind as humans strive to adapt to societal norms. The Shadow veils the dark parts of the intellect which are often disregarded by personal morals. Joseph Boyden’s novel Three Day Road showcases the Shadow through the character development of Xavier and Elijah, more specifically Elijah as Xavier’s Shadow. The friendship between Elijah and Xavier moulds their characters into one persona as they grow up together being raised by Niska.
