ABOUT EMOTION IN COMMUNICATION

Author(s): Doina Mihaela Popa / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 17/2019

The analog language, that dominates artistic communication, was theorized by Palo Alto researchers in mid XX century. According to their studies, the concepts of digital language and analog language are largely corresponding to dichotomies such as: rational vs irrational, verbal vs nonverbal or conscious vs unconscious and are based on the theory of bilateral cerebral specialization. The right hemisphere fulfills functions defining artistic communication and specializes in the holistic perception of relationships, creativity and emotions; this hemisphere reconstitutes the structures (Gestalt) and represents our metonimic, metaphoric, musical, associative and synthetic understanding, also known as the analog communication hemisphere. For Carl Gustav Jung the analog or fantasy thinking is a relic of primitive thinking just as the myth is a relic of humanity's soul; the oniric thinking, the dream is the myth of the individual. Later, the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan will extend the Jungian theory, figuring the three essential registers of the triple node loop, where opening any one of them implies opening all. The imaginary register is, according to Lacan, the register of the feeling and its essence is simultaneously an intrasubjective and intersubjective projection.

The Problem of Culture and Nature in Carl Gustav Jung’s Psychoanalytical Concept

Author(s): Patrycja Neumann / Language(s): English Issue: 61/2023

According to the classical approach, culture is the opposite of nature, and mankind, as a world-transforming being, is the engine of civilization development. C.G. Jung’s writings contain a non-classical concept of culture, according to which the collective unconscious determines the way of interpreting and understanding reality, and thus the development of culture. The psychiatrist considers mankind as a symbol-forming creature. He wrote about the “symbol drive” which causes the creation of symbols to happen spontaneously. There is a connection between the action of instincts, which have a biological basis, and the archetypal source of symbols. There are forces of nature in the unconscious – in particular, the libido and instincts. Culture arises between the unconscious and consciousness, and at the same time, the process of its development has a species-specific aspect.

Mirties varos teorija kaip spekuliatyviosios filosofijos modelis: Landas, Brassieras, Negarestani ir Bataille’us

Author(s): Linartas Tuomas / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 103/2023

This paper deals with Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of the death drive from the perspective of speculative philosophy. For this purpose, three philosophers have been chosen: Nick Land, Ray Brassier, and Reza Negarestani. I claim that they gradually radicalised the Freudian thought: Land expanded it to capitalist economy and terrestrial geotrauma; Brassier shifted it towards a solar catastrophe and the prospect of extinction; Negarestani incorporated it into the exteriority of cosmic contingency. This way, Freud’s legacy emerges as a transcendental, epistemological and speculative instrument to tackle Meillassoux’s problem of correlation. I consider why this trajectory has ceased: I suggest a hypothesis that Bataille’s influence has not been overcome, especially in the case of Negarestani. I offer several vectors, according to which, Bataille could serve as an opportunity for openness to the Outside and a chance to continue the trajectory of the speculative death drive. I suggest that it is possible to reconsider Bataille as one of the precursors to the contemporary speculative thought.

SIGMUND FREUD ȘI ESEUL DINCOLO DE PRINCIPIUL PLĂCERII

Author(s): Camelia Ioana Ienciu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 24/2021

This article, based on the detailed analysis of Freud’s essay, Beyond the Pleasure Principle, explores philosophical questions about life and death, pleasure and pain. Moreover, his essay can be considered a rediscovery of significant themes and concepts whose primary aim is to influence a contemporary understanding of Psychoanalysis. The reason why I have chosen this topic is due to the fact that Sigmund Freud, one of the greatest theorists in history, is generally known as the father of psychoanalysis. He wrote Beyond the Pleasure Principle at the age of sixty – four, during a time when psychoanalysis had already gained meaningful popularity.

Семейната социална структура и семейните комплекси

Author(s): Milena Motsinova-Brachkova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 1/2023

In the psychoanalytic paradigm, the family is seen as a social institution that aims to welcome the child into the world and create psychic continuity between generations. The concept of family complex, introduced by Jacques Lacan, describes the way in which the family functions as a symbolic instance, responsible for welcoming and entering the child into the symbolic order.

Еманациите на злото: интертекстуални парадигми

Author(s): Nadezhda Todorova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 1/2023

The mutual semantic principles which are at the heart of any artwork – whether literary or cinematic – are studied by narratology. This scientific discipline also provides the methodology that analyzes the structures and mechanisms of the narrative text. Moreover, it tries to create a specific model for the possibilities of realization, the specific cases of which are the individual literary/ screen works. In this regard, visualization in film dramaturgy is considered on several levels: the interrelationship between textual diachrony and synchrony; social and aesthetic functions; historical and political environment and artistic interactions.

CHILD AS MUSE. A PSYCHOANALYTICAL APPROACH IN ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Author(s): Ileana-Silvia Ciornei / Language(s): English Issue: 28/2022

Lewis Carroll’s books Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1871) are both set in the young girl Alice’s dream fantasies. For more than a hundred years, adults as well as children have enjoyed losing themselves in the nonsensical stories. But it appears that there is more to the stories than pure nonsense. As many authors and critics observed, Alice can be psychoanalyzed easily; it is easy to treat it as a dream, because it is a dream. And ever since Freud began publishing his theories, critics have been applying them to Alice. The first wave of Alice psychoanalysts focused on the sexual symbolism in the novel, which according to the theory reveals Carroll’s own repressed sexuality. Most works more or less unequivocally assume that Dodgson was a pedophile, though a repressed and celibate one, while others keep on the respectable neutral side. Although the details about Carroll ‘s relationship with children in general, and with the Liddell girls in particular, might never be known and never be clearly established, the evidence that he had somewhat unhealthy obsession with minors seems somehow unquestionable.

Between a “Poetical Phrase” and Being “Led into Error” in "The Interpretation of Dreams"

Author(s): Mischa Twitchin / Language(s): English Issue: 35/2023

The aim of this essay is to explore various instances of visualisation not only of psycho-analysis but in psycho-analysis – with respect to both the dynamics of transference and translation. The principal examples considered are: antiquities in Freud’s consulting room; gifts in the Freud Museum shop; the Rosetta Stone; and the translation of the “Fool’s Tower” dream in chapter six of The Interpretation of Dreams. How are relations between literal and metaphorical enacted in these examples, informing questions concerning relations between visualisation and conceptualisation in psycho-analysis? How might Freud’s claims concerning the “poetical” and “error” in the interpretation of dreams inform a reading of The Interpretation of Dreams itself?

Pojęcie prawa u Freuda i Durkheima. Fakt społeczny, obiekt czy tabu?

Author(s): KRZYSZTOF KATKOWSKI / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2023

It is the intention of the author of this article to present the theoretical and legal views of Sigmund Freud and Emil Durkheim and to place them in the context of classical texts on political-legal theory. Both thinkers, rather associated with sociology or psychology than with law, treated law as one of the most important reference points in their social concepts. In both cases, we are dealing with the treatment of the social order as transcendent to the empirical individual, and at the same time created by society. At the same time, the law is supposed to impede the emancipation of the individual and to allow the individual to have a real influence on the creation of power structures. At the same time, despite numerous analyses of the theoretical-legal views of these thinkers in the European scientific literature, this is the first such analysis in Polish. In addition to presenting Freud’s and Durkheim’s views, it opens up the possibility of not only situating them among political- -legal theories, but also points to perspectives on the operationalisation of these theories – as well as their possible social implications. To this end, the following article juxtaposes their theories with the traditions of legal positivism as represented by Hans Kelsen and Herbert L.A. Hart – two authors who were inspired by Freud and Durkheim respectively.

Да живееш с призраци: психоанализата като призракология

Author(s): Valentin Kalinov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2023

The present article attempts to examine the practice of psychoanalysis and the field of psychoanalytic experience from the perspective of the so-called hauntological turn in the humanities. In the logic of the unconscious, the central event of analytic interaction is seen as an apparition in three different aspects: that of the revenant (the return of the repressed), that of the phantom (as the secret of the Other in the subject's unconscious), and that of the spectre (as a relation of responsibility to the Other). We will suggest that psychoanalysis – and perhaps only psychoanalysis – gives the ghosts a real place; and even more: in a particular way psychoanalysis makes them a place of truth, incorporating them into itself, giving them a full share in its history, and opening up the possibility that they can have their own refuge in it, their own history. Psychoanalysis, in other words, endows ghosts with the freedom in which any articulation of meaning for the subject is possible.

Gender jako fenomén après-coup: (ne)lineární temporalita (genderové) identity

Author(s): Dagmar Halo / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2022

This text examines the influence of elements of infantile sexuality and their (re) definition on the origin, development, and acquisition of specific gender identity during psychosexual development from the perspective of the apr s-coup concept. And at the same time, try to experimentally define and develop interpretation (re)construction of a (non)linear process of (dis) integration of personality elements as one of many layers of psychoanalytic effort in the context of gender theory.

L’image et le cauchemar

Author(s): David Bernard / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2023

The present article questions, starting from the teaching of Jacques Lacan, the particularities of the image in the nightmare, and in what way does this lead to a certain awakening of the subject. We will also try to underline how several works by David Lynch, very close to the structure of the nightmare, express this mechanism in their own specific approach.

Mircea Săucan – A Paramount Escape from Reality in Romanian Cinema

Author(s): Marian Sorin Rădulescu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Mircea Săucan, one of the best kept secrets of Romanian narrative cinema, is yet to be unveiled. Starting off as a dedicated Stalinist, he studied in Moscow at VGIK (Moscow Film School) and he was very familiar with mainstream propaganda works by Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Vertov, Dovzhenko. When he returned to Romania, he worked as a Communist Party secretary of “Alexandru Sahia” Documentary Film Studio in the 1950’s. As Romania gradually evolved towards national-communism and liberated itself from the patronage of the USSR, Săucan became a persona non grata. His exceptional talent and powerful cinematic feeling helped him create unconventional and formally radical works. His revolutionary style, in perfect synchronization with the French Nouvelle Vague, acted as a tremendously macroseism able to shatter the very geological configuration of Romanian cinema. Nobody wanted that. Mircea Săucan directed only four full length features. Each of them had to face major opposition when it was about to be released: When Spring Is Hot (1960), The Endless Shore (1963), Meanders (1967), 100 Lei (1973). In 1971, a journalist asked Mircea Săucan what he thought of the coming decade. The director admitted uneasily that he was rather concerned about what the coming decade had planned to surprise him with. His concerns proved to be true, as he stopped directing full length features in the early 1970’s. He was allowed to direct only a few shorts and, in the late 1980’s, he emigrated to Nazareth, Israel.

MUSICAL RELATIONSHIPS: TOWARDS A PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF EARLY MOTHER-INFANT INTERACTIONS

Author(s): David-Augustin Mândruț / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2023

This paper investigates musical relationships in the case of the early mother-infant dyadic interactions. To accomplish this task, it is first needed to come back to some important authors from the tradition of both phenomenology and psychoanalysis. The theories of Husserl, Schutz and Taipale will prove themselves to be useful. Secondly, I shall deepen the investigation of the early mother-infant interactions through the prism of theories coming from Winnicott, Stern and Thomas Fuchs. My main task will be to demonstrate that these early interactions have a musical quality, similar to Colwyn Trevarthen’s thematization of communicative musicality. To prove my point, I have to first establish the features that make these early interactions be musical-like. Winnicott’s potential space and the example of babbling will follow my argumentation. I will also stress on the importance of the face-to-face interaction through affect attunement and mutual tuning-in. All these interactions are modes of being-with-another (Stern). An example will be found throughout this paper, namely a specific mode of being-with-another, which was called by Winnicott the primary maternal preoccupation.
