Thompson Pintura feita por Robert S. Gifford. 8 Prefácio Por volta do ano de 1873, Frederic Myers relembra, em seu Human Personality [Personalidade Humana] que um pequeno grupo de amigos de Cambridge chegara à conclusão de que nem a religião nem o materialismo fornecera respostas satisfatórias às questões que os desconcertavam: Nossas atitudes eram, em vários aspectos, diferentes; mas, para mim, pelo menos, parecia que nenhuma tentativa adequada jamais fora feita, sequer para determinar se algo poderia ser aprendido sobre o mundo do invisível ou não; pois, se fosse possível saber alguma coisa sobre um tal mundo, de modo que a Ciência pudesse adotar e conservar esse conhecimento, isso precisaria ser descoberto, não pela análise da tradição, nem pela manipulação da metafísica, mas simplesmente por experiência e observação – apenas pela aplicação a fenômenos dentro de nós e à nossa volta exatamente desses mesmos métodos deliberados e desapaixonados de pesquisa, que construíram nosso atual conhecimento de mundo que podemos tocar e ver. Junto com seus amigos – destacando-se entre eles Henry Sidgwick e Edmund Gurney – Myers tornou-se um dos membros fundadores da Society for Psychical Research [Sociedade de Pesquisas Psíquicas], quando esta foi constituída em 1882 para colocar essas idéias em prática, e esta série * está sendo publicada para assinalar o centenário da Sociedade. Os fenômenos do “mundo do invisível” a que Myers se referiu foram, por conveniência, originalmente distribuídos em cinco categorias, sendo constituído um comitê para a investigação de cada uma: telepatia, hipnotismo, “sensitivos”, aparições e “os diversos fenômenos físicos comumente chamados espíritas”. Ao longo dos anos, a ênfase alterou-se um pouco – em particular quanto ao hipnotismo que, naquela época, era descartado como ilusionismo e acabou sendo aceito como realidade, e assim * Composta pelos volumes: Experiências fora do corpo: uma investigação , de Susan J. Blackmore, Fantasmas e aparições , de Andrew Mackenzie e Mediunidade e sobrevivência: um século de investigações , de Alan Gauld, publicados pela Editora Pensamento, São Paulo; Through the Time Barrier: a Study of Precognition and Modern Physics , de Dana Zohar, e Glossary of Terms Used in Parapsychology , organizado por Michael A. Thalbourne, Heinemman, Londres. 9 deixou de ficar do lado físico da cerca. Mas, em linhas gerais, os fenômenos investigados são os mesmos e os modos como têm sido investigados continuam como Myers planejou. A terminologia, porém, mudou – e mudou com alguma freqüência, o que causou certa confusão. O próprio Myers introduziu a “telepatia” como “leitura de pensamento”, o que era ambíguo; podia referir-se ao modo como Sherlock Holmes captava o que se passava na mente de Watson observando sua expressão. O termo “supranormal”, porém, que Myers achava preferível a “sobrenatural”, para descrever a classe de fenômenos com que a Sociedade deveria lidar, foi substituído por “paranormal”, enquanto “parapsicologia” substituiu “pesquisa psíquica” – muito embora alguns pesquisadores prefiram restringir seu uso para trabalhos do tipo de laboratório, deixando “psíquico” para pesquisa sobre fenômenos espontâneos. O prefixo “Psi” apareceu como termo genérico para descrever as forças envolvidas, ou para identificá-las – por exemplo, na distinção de um evento normal de um paranormal. Se ainda faltasse evidência sobre uma “paraciência” – como agora poderia ser embaraçosamente descrita, porque recentemente a ênfase da pesquisa foi sendo deslocada da Psicologia para a Física – ela poderia ser encontrada na composição da Sociedade, desde seus primórdios. Devem existir poucas organizações que atraíram membros tão notáveis. Dentre os físicos, Sir William Crookes, Sir John Joseph Thomson, Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir William Barrett e dois Lords Rayleigh – terceiro e quarto barões. Dentre os filósofos: o próprio Sidgwick, Henri Bérgson, Ferdinand Schiller, L. P. Jacks, Hans Driesch, e C. D. Broad; dentre os psicólogos: William James, William McDougall, Sigmund Freud, Walter Franklin Prince, Carl Jung e Gardner Murphy. E junto a estes, muitos vultos eminentes em vários campos: Charles Richet, Prêmio Nobel de fisiologia; o Conde de Balfour, primeiro-Ministro de 1902 a 1906, e seu irmão Gerald, Primeiro Secretário da Irlanda em 1895-96; Andrew Lang, Gilbert Murray, Regius Professor de Grego em Oxford, E. R. Dodds; a sra. HenrySidgwick, diretora do Newham College, de Cambridge; Marie Curie; a sra. Alfred Lyttleton, Delegada na Assembléia da Liga das nações; Camille Flammarion, astrônomo e F. J. M. Straton, Presidente da Royal Astronomical Society; e Sir Alister Hardy, professor de zoologia em Oxford. Tal lista, como Arthur Koestler apontou em The Roots of Coincidence [As raízes da coincidência], devia ser suficiente para demonstrar que a pesquisa sobre PES (Percepção Extra-sensorial) “não é um playground para malucos supersticiosos”. Ao contrário, os padrões de pesquisa, em geral, foram rigorosos – muito mais rigorosos, como os psicólogos tiveram 10 ocasião de admitir, que os da Psicologia. A razão pela qual os resultados não foram aceitos é, basicamente, que não foram aceitáveis: a percepção extra-sensorial e a psicocinese ficaram fora do domínio da ciência, a despeito das evidências. E, muito embora o preconceito contra a parapsicologia tenha sido vencido, de molde a começar a ser aceita como disciplina acadêmica nas universidades, ainda está muito longe de garantir uma base firme no mundo acadêmico. Os céticos, aleivosamente, propagaram a idéia de que os pesquisadores psíquicos acreditam em PES, em PK (Psicocinese), em aparições, e em outras coisas, porque querem ou precisam acreditar. Qualquer um que tenha estudado os Jornais e as Atas da Sociedade, ou que tenha comparecido às suas reuniões, testemunhará que isso é de uma falsidade risível. Muitos dos mais assíduos e capacitados pesquisadores foram originalmente impelidos pela des crença – por um desejo, digamos, de desmascarar um médium como fraudulento. É preciso lembrar, também, que muitos, provavelmente a grande maioria dos membros, desejaram, e ainda desejam provar que as manifestações paranormais são naturais e podem ser explicadas cientificamente – muito embora, reconhecidamente, não nos termos estreitos de uma ciência materialista, que, de qualquer modo, os físicos nucleares mostraram ser falaciosa. Não: na medida em que uma Sociedade, composta de um grupo tão diversificado de indivíduos, possa ter uma identidade única, ela poderia ser descrita quase como cética; e por certo como racional, como esta série mostrará. Não, porém, como racionalista . Desgraçadamente, os racionalistas, em sua determinação de purgar a sociedade de seus tumores religiosos e ocultistas, muitas vezes fracassaram

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.
