  • Carl Jung's Archetypes in Malayalam Film
    DOI: 10.1051/ shsconf/20173300018 SHS Web of Conferences 33, 00018 (2017) i-COME'16 Carl Jung’s Archetypes in Malayalam Film: A Case Study on The Film ‘Urumi’ Sona Varghese 1,*and Arumugam Balasubramanian2 1,2Department of Communication, Coimbatore, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract. Movies are the visual- auditory symbolic narrative that explains the living reality of people. Films employ Carl Jung’s concept of archetypes-prototypical characters. This research provides an insight about the theory of archetype based on the assumption that archetypes resides deep inside human mind. The researcher proposes that the Malayalam film industry in India showcases the western concept of archetype using the movie Urumi as a case study. For this study, different clips are taken from the movie to represent six essential archetypes, namely, Hero, Anima, Animus, Mentor (sage), Shadow, and Trickster. The psychoanalysis of this movie carried out in this paper provides evidence for the existence of all six essential archetypes identified by Carl Jung. Thus this article will be a fruitful resource for future research in the field of psychoanalysis of movies. 1 Introduction The mass media has gone through various development and refinement in past centuries. The contemporary information age is dominated by mass communication media such as movies, television and internet [1]. The stories and characters presented in this mass media are important for sharing human experience. People use movie plot analogies and metaphors in their life due to its effect on the mass audience [6]. The phenomena of using the examples of movies and other mass media in ordinary life, points to the existing internal psychological forces that allows people to connect with these commonly shared metaphors and analogies.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Civilizations Collide - the Wars of the Aztecs, the Inca, the Maya, and the Conquistadores
    Civilizations Collide - The Wars of the Aztecs, the Inca, the Maya, and the Conquistadores A Supplement for Feudal Patrol™ By Mark A. Morin 1. Introduction 1.1. Overview of the Historical Period In Mesoamerica, a relatively few Spanish Conquistadores under Hernan Cortes (in alliance with other city states such as the Tlaxcalans of the Aztec-Chichimec Alliance, and others) managed to bring down the empire of the mighty Aztecs of the Triple Alliance. The Spanish subsequently did the same to the diminished Maya in Central America, though not without casualties and great difficulty. In the Andes, Francisco Pizarro and his Conquistadores similarly brought down the Incan Empire. Most of this supplement will focus on the Aztec conquest, but I include some information on the other New World empires as well. Most (if not all) of the terms used to describe the weapons, armor, geographic places, and culture of these New World empires definitely do not roll off the tongue, but I will attempt to help as much as possible. The Spanish certainly had many technological advantages over their New World opponents, such as gunpowder and crossbows; however, these were not the decisive advantages. The Conquistadores were mercenary veterans of years of warfare in Italy and elsewhere. Conquistadores were known for their excellent swordsmanship. Also, one must add that skill with blades (and armor) of Toledo steel to the shock and awe of the horse and war hounds when looking at how the Conquistadores brought down their foes. 1 For victory, the combat experience of the Conquistadores alone was necessary but not sufficient.

  • When Yogis Become Warriors—The Embodied Spirituality of Kal.Aripayattu
    religions Article When Yogis Become Warriors—The Embodied Spirituality of Kal.aripayattu Maciej Karasinski-Sroka Department of Foreign Languages, Hainan University, Haikou 570208, China; [email protected] Abstract: This study examines the relationship between body and spirituality in kal.aripayattu (kal.arippayattu), a South Indian martial art that incorporates yogic techniques in its training regimen. The paper is based on ethnographic material gathered during my fieldwork in Kerala and interviews with practitioners of kal.aripayattu and members of the Nayar¯ clans. The Nayars¯ of Kerala created their own martial arts that were further developed in their family gymnasia (ka.lari). These ka.laris had their own training routines, initiations and patron deities. Ka.laris were not only training grounds, but temples consecrated with daily rituals and spiritual exercises performed in the presence of masters of the art called gurukkals. For gurukkals, the term ka.lari has a broader spectrum of meaning—it denotes the threefold system of Nayar¯ education: Hindu doctrines, physical training, and yogico-meditative exercises. This short article investigates selected aspects of embodied spirituality in kal.aripayattu and argues that body in kal.ari is not only trained but also textualized and ritualized. Keywords: kal.aripayattu; yoga; embodied spirituality 1. Introduction Ferrer(2008, p. 2) defines embodied spirituality as a philosophy that regards all Citation: Karasinski-Sroka, Maciej. dimensions of human beings –body, soul, spirit, and consciousness—as “equal partners in 2021.

  • Combat & Tactics
    Player's Option™: Combat & Tactics Foreword Way back in issue #39 of Dragon® Magazine, I found a great article called Good Hits and Bad Misses. My friends and I had been playing the AD&D® game for a couple of years, and we took one look and adopted the article's critical hit and fumble system. We ignored every piece of advice about responsible use of the system and began using the critical tables in our next game. Our epic battles turned into bloodbaths. Our group of adventurers left a trail of dismemberment and sucking chest wounds in our wake. I distinctly recall one battle in which my character, a dwarven fighter named Hendel, had the unbelievable misfortune of losing one leg, an arm, and the other leg at the ankle. He still had 30 hit points left, so Hendel kept on battling, swinging his axe with great war-cries as he crawled along after his enemies. Talk about your suspended disbelief! Now it occurs to me that maybe, just maybe, even Conan (or Godzilla!) would have been incapacitated by these injuries. In fact, maybe Hendel, if role-played well, would have curled up into a ball and cried for his mother when he lost that first leg. I sure would have. But we had a great time with it, even when fumbles led to friendly-fire decapitations and other such incidents. The point to all this is that any fantasy role-playing game has a pretty tough job in creating fast but semi-realistic combat rules, and the AD&D game, even with variant rules like the critical hit system we ran amok with, is basically an abstract game.
