You, Xiao. "Archetype and archetypal image in Chinese myths, legends and tales." Thesis, University of Essex, 2018. http://repository.essex.ac.uk/23484/.
Full textAbstract:
This research aims to examine Chinese myths, legends and tales from the perspective of analytical psychology. Considering that analytical psychologists have paid little attention to Chinese myths and that previous studies on Chinese myths from the standpoint of analytical psychology are lacking, this thesis investigates the universal archetype and its cultural carrier, or archetypal image, in Chinese mythical texts. First, this study examines both Jung’s engagement with Chinese culture, in order to see the function and significance of Chinese thought in analytical psychology, and the reception of Jungian thought in China, in order to demonstrate the lack of research on Chinese myths from the perspective of the theory of analytical psychology. Second, the study defines the concepts of archetype and archetypal image, and adopts the method of myth analysis from Jung and his followers to interpret Chinese motifs and symbols. Third, interpretations from the perspective of analytical psychology are applied to three motifs in Chinese culture: creation myths, flood myths and erotic anima figures. These provide materials for exploring similarities and differences in the mechanism and development of the human psyche between East and West. Fourth, this research concentrates on discussing two important Chinese symbols – Long (dragon) and Qi lin (unicorn) and their counterparts in western culture – by analysing these symbols at both the archetypal and cultural levels. The final part of this study explores the possible therapeutic value of Chinese myths in helping analysts to comprehend the human psyche and analysands to understand themselves in greater depth. This thesis fills a gap in the understanding of Chinese myth by means of Jungian psychology with the hope also of applying analytical psychology to Chinese culture more thoroughly and insightfully in both theoretical and practical contexts.

Previous issue date: 2011-04-08This work has the purpose to analyze the female images unrolled at the Florbela Espanca (1894 -1930) poetry of her three books published, Livro de M?goas (1919), Livro de S?ror Saudade (1923) e Charneca em Flor (1931, posthumous), showing how the female mythic constituents Eve and Lilith advance among the books, delineating the female image which culminates to the female poet image, free of moral conventions and social principles in the beginning of 20th century. For this exam, we will apply the Imaginary criticism, and realize a short explanation about mythic archetypes theories from C.G. Jung, Mircea Eliade, E. Melet?nki and Gilbert Durand, theories that will lead us to make the connection between the mythic constituents and Nietzsche tragic constituents, from which we will explain how these female mythic images associated to reason and unreason mythic constituents, unrolled at the Florbela poetry, also reveal the tragic esthetic at her work

Himebaugh, Keith. "Mythic Drawing| An archetypal approach to drawing with dreams." Thesis, Pacifica Graduate Institute, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3565655.
Full textAbstract:
This production-style dissertation explores the psychological aspect of drawing with dream images. It introduces a practical method, called Mythic Drawing, which can help artists work with dream images in an authentic way. For James Hillman, the founder of Archetypal Psychology, dreams do not reflect the outer world of empirical reality. Rather, they express the inner world of psychic reality through mythological resemblances. Therefore, to draw adequately with images, the artist must give up the rational approach of step-by-step formulas and abstract concepts, and instead, sensitize these methods to the metaphorical style of the dream.
The essence of Mythic Drawing is play. The artist engages the dream image as an active participant, like an actor playing a part. The role of "artist" is relativized and seen through to the many archetypal figures one embodies while drawing, such as a child, a dancer, an architect, or a shaman. The artist accepts the dream images as alive, intelligent and capable of asserting a will of their own. In this way, drawing becomes a collaborative activity that fosters a dynamic relationship between the artist and the creative figures of his or her imagination.
Using a hermeneutic method, the dissertation outlines the theoretical basis of Mythic Drawing, while at the same time examining traditional assumptions and biases in art education. It then tests the efficacy of the ideas discussed through two intensive drawing projects. A heuristic method is applied throughout the production of drawings which helps provide reflection upon and analysis of the creative process.

Full textAbstract:
Myths have been an undeniable source in both shaping and expressing the values, norms and behavioural patterns in societies. However, the archetypes in these myths have helped to oppress women in their personal and social lives and have forced them to accept identities which actually are not theirs. Feminist archetypal theorists propose that through a detailed study of common images of women&rsquos writings, fantasies, dreams and myths, the archetypes that women possess will be uncovered and the female experience will have the chance to be voiced more accurately. The aim of this thesis is to explore Surfacing and The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood and Indigo and The Leto Bundle by Marina Warner to lay bare the attempts of both writers to break away from the male-oriented myths so as to rewrite female experience via rewriting myths. In four novels, the archetypes and mythical elements are used in rewriting the gender and sexual identity markers which have long been imposed on women by patriarchal mythmakers. By rewriting these markers, both writers not only voice the genuine female experience and the body but also pave the way for the creation of new myths which would celebrate female identity and freedom.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Timothy DuketSynthesizing elements of so many traditions, fantasy has grown into perhaps the most pervasive genre of literature in the western world. The archetypal adventures and themes that have been carried into fantasy through ancient legends and myths have survived over the ages because it was decided long ago those tales had great worth. It was the unpopular and poorly formed legends that died out, while the superior stories were carried from culture to culture under new guises. In this way, fantasy can be seen as the culmination of human legends, filtered throughout history so that only the great tales remain. On what greater pedestal could a form of literature be based? Fantasy has even continued the refinement process in the last fifty years, with active writers like Jordan and Goodkind incorporating elements from the greatest of previous fantasy authors like Tolkien, Howard, and Donaldson. Thus fantasy is continually improving upon itself and evolving in new ways through its modification of old themes. How long can critics refuse to recognize fantasy as a legitimate form? With such admirable authors writing today, it seems logical that the answer would be sooner rather than later. Might fantasy be vanquished by sneering critics and replaced with another form of fiction? Gandalf claims even the Wise cannot see all ends, and while in no way do I profess such wisdom, I find it difficult to believe that, as the successor of mythology, fantasy will ever fizzle and die. A force greater than all the magic swords and rings combined would be necessary to kill four thousand years of human imagination

Full textAbstract:
The overview of contributions to metaphor theory in Chapters 1 and 2, examined in reference to recent scholarship, suggests that the current theory of metaphor derives from long-standing traditions that regard metaphor as a crucial process of cognition. This overview calls to attention the necessity of a closer inspection of previous theories of metaphor. Chapter 3 takes initial steps in synthesizing views of domains of inquiry into cognitive processes of the human mind. It draws from cognitive models developed in linguistics and anthropology, taking into account hypotheses put forth by psychologists like Jung. It sets the stage for an analysis that intends to further understanding of how the East-West dichotomy guides, influences, and expresses cognitive processes. Although linguist George Lakoff denies the existence of a connection between metaphors, myths, and archetypes, Chapter 3 illustrates the possibility of a relationship among these phenomena. By synthesizing theoretical approaches, Chapter 3 initiates the development of a model suitable for the analysis of the East-West dichotomy as exercised in Chapter 4. As purely emergent from bodily experience, however, neither the concept of the East nor the concept of the West can be understood completely. There exist cultural experiences that may, depending on historical and social context, override bodily experience inclined to favor the East over the West because of the respective connotations of place of birth of the sun and place of death of the sun. This kind of overriding cultural meaning is based on the “typical, frequently recurring and widely shared interpretations of some object, abstract entity, or event evoked in people as a result of similar experiences. To call these meanings ‘cultural meanings' is to imply that a different interpretation is evoked in people with different characteristic experiences. As such, various interpretations of the East-West image-schema exist simultaneously in mutually exclusive or competing forms, as the analysis of Gatsby and the reversal of the values of East and West in the context of colonizing and counter-colonizing attitudes suggests.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.This thesis deals with the connection between mythology and psychagogy, and a structured way of reading and using myth for personal development is suggested. The myth of Demeter and Persephone is used for this purpose, and the text of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter is analysed as the basic (but not exclusive) text. In the modern world the psychagogic component relies on the work of Jung, which is seen as the most appropriate template available. His concept of the archetype is particularly useful, and the archetype of the mother goddess is analysed as a representation of the personal and spiritual development of modern women.

Scher, Ingrid Lana Law Faculty of Law UNSW. "Monsters in our minds : the myth of infanticide and the murderous mother in the cultural psyche." Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of Law, 2005. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/29377.
Full textAbstract:
If, as author Toni Morrison believes, we tell stories about what we find most terrifying, then our cultural narratives suggest an overwhelming preoccupation with the murderous mother ??? the monster in our minds. This dissertation examines some of the most powerful and enduring stories told about the murderous mother and considers how these stories are shaped by the unconscious fears and fantasies that dominate the cultural psyche. Revolving around the idea of infanticide as an ???imaginary??? crime, this dissertation uncovers the psychoanalytic foundations of the obsessive telling and consumption of stories of maternal child-murder in Western culture and contends that infanticide narratives can be read as symptoms of psychocultural dis(-)ease. Underlying all stories about the murderous mother is an unconscious fear of infanticide and fantasy of maternal destructiveness that is repressed in the individual psyche. These fears and fantasies are expressed in our cultural narratives. Chapter 1 examines fairytales as the literary form that most clearly elaborates individual fears and psychic conflict and locates the phantasmic murderous mother within psychoanalytic narratives of individuation. Chapter 2 shows how individual fears and fantasies of maternal monstrosity are transferred to society and revealed in the myths through which our culture is transmitted. Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the particular neuroses of ancient Greek society and early modern culture and consider stories of the murderous mother that most powerfully reflect anxieties of maternal origin and fantasies of maternal power. Chapters 5 and 6 shift to a contemporary setting and consider stories that reveal, in differing ways, how the murderous mother haunts the cultural psyche. Examining a variety of texts and drawing material from a spectrum of disciplines, including law, literature, criminology, theology, philosophy, and medicine, this dissertation concludes that it is only by exposing the underpinnings of our cultural stories about the murderous mother that we can hope to break free from the unconscious attitudes that imprison us. Emerging from this study is an original and important theoretical framework concerning conceptualisations of infanticide, the ways in which we imagine maternal child-murder and the limits of that imagination, and how we might escape the murderous maternal monster buried deep in the labyrinths of the mind.

Full textAbstract:
Tandis que le progrès scientifique offre des perspectives insoupçonnables, les contraintes de l'industrialisation, de l'urbanisation et des technologies modernes, ne cessent de faire reculer le domaine de l'immatériel et du spirituel. Longtemps épargnée, l'Océanie reste encore un espace privilégié où l'imprégnation des traditions ancestrales et de la nature est restée vivace et signifiante. « L'Imaginaire dans les mythes canaques » constitue le sujet de notre recherche, l'ouverture d'un champ exploratoire inédit qui nous conduit à la révélation du « réel caché » fonde cette démarche. L'apport des études et recherches des premiers missionnaires, linguistes et ethnologues a fourni un ensemble de données et de mythes qui décrivent et interprètent l'organisation de la société canaque, ses moeurs et ses traditions. Les investigations de l'ethnologie traditionnelle sont restées distantes des théories et découvertes de l'Imaginaire dont Freud, Bachelard et Jung furent les précurseurs. Nous convoquerons les méthodes d'analyse et d'investigation de l'inconscient collectif et de la psychologie des profondeurs, pour les adapter au domaine de la mythologie canaque. La réalisation d'un corpus de mythes collectés aux débuts de la colonisation explicite la composition structurelle de chaque récit, élabore leur fiche d'identification génétique, et imagine une méthode nouvelle d'exploration de l'univers des mythes. La mise en œuvre de la mythocritique de Gilbert Durand, adaptée et complétée par la mythanalyse, réalise une mythodologie exploratoire de l'Imaginaire du « sermo mythicus ». Constellations d'images, symboles et archétypes décryptés dans ces anciens récits mythiques, en révèlent la sémantique profonde, ainsi que des archétypes qui rejoignent l'universel. Notre propos est de mettre en évidence la pertinence des théories précédentes qui ont révolutionné des domaines tels que la psychologie, la philosophie et jusqu'à la littérature, ouvrant de nouveaux horizons à l'interprétation de ces traditions orales majeures, qui sont parmi les plus anciennes d'Océanie, et confirmant par là-même la richesse de leur symbolique et de leur apport à la connaissance d'Anthropos que Leenhard avait annoncéeWhile scientific progress offers unimaginable opportunities, constraints of industrialization, urbanization and modern technology never cease to reverse the field of the intangible and spiritual. Long spared Oceania remains a privileged space where the impregnation of traditions and nature remained alive and meaningful. “Imagination in Kanak myths” is the subject of our research, the opening of a novel exploratory field which leads to the revelation of the “Real hidden” bases this approach. The contribution of the study and research of the first missionaries, linguists and anthropologists has provided a set of data and myths that describe and interpret the organization of the Kanak society, its customs and traditions. Investigations of ethnology remained away from traditional theories and discoveries of the Imaginary Freud, Jung and Bachelard were precursors. We will call the methods of analysis and investigation of the collective unconscious and depth psychology, to fit the field of mythology Kanak. The implementation of a corpus of myths collected at the beginning of colonization, explains the structural composition of each story, which develops their “genetic identification card”, and imagine a new method of exploring the world of myths. Implementation of “mythocritic” Gilbert Durand adapted and supplemented by mythanalysis, performs an exploratory mythodologie of the imaginary of " sermo mythicus". Constellations of images, symbols and archetypes decrypted in these ancient myths, then reveal the deep semantic as well as joining the universal archetypes. Our aim is to highlight the relevance of previous theories that have revolutionized such fields as psychology, philosophy, and literature up and opening new horizons for the interpretation of oral traditions which are major among the most old Oceania, and to confirm their rich symbolism and their contribution to the knowledge of Anthropos that Leenhard had emphasized

Irving, Margaret J. "Toward a female clown practice : transgression, archetype and myth." Thesis, University of Plymouth, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/1583.
Full textAbstract:
Women who learn to clown within Western contemporary theatre and performance training lack recognizably female exemplars of this popular art form. This practice-as-research thesis analyses my past and present clowning experiences in order to create an understanding of a woman-centered clown practice which allows for the expression of material bodies and lived experiences. It offers a feminist perspective on Jacques Lecoq’s pedagogy, which revolves around a notion of an ‘inner clown’ and is prevalent in contemporary UK clown training and practice. The thesis draws on both the avant-garde and numerous clown types and archetypes, in order to understand clowning as a genre revealed through a range of unsocialised behaviours. It does not differentiate necessarily between clowning by men and women but suggests a re-think and reconfiguration to incorporate a wide range of values and thought processes as a means of introduction to a wider audience. Specific concerns with the terms clown and clowning initiate this investigation, resulting in the creation of a ‘clowning continuum’, which offers a practical way of understanding various modes of clowning and various types of clowns. I examine my experiences, including those of ‘failure’, while working with renowned performer trainers, as well my negotiation of gender and sexuality through both my clowning in character and my creation of clowns. The twentieth century avant-garde artist Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, who inspired me to create ‘Clown Elsa’ and take her to art galleries and onto the street, is identified as a ‘radical female proto-clown’. My practical investigations into the potential interrelatedness of the masquerade of femininity and the mask of the clown are also shaped by discourses of hysteria and the carnivalesque. Drawing on Bakhtin’s concepts of carnival, dialogic practice and heteroglossia, as well as the transgressive potential of classical myth and archetypes for women, this thesis reconfigures clown practice and discourse by both challenging and developing upon Lecoq’s outmoded pedagogic practice. Its goal is to open it up for more types and modes of clown, in particular an ‘inner clown’ that can operate in a number of masks. It culminates in my creation of a feminist clown, Sedusa, who is inspired by Hélène Cixous’s writing on l’écriture feminine, myth and laughter in ‘The Laugh of the Medusa’ (1976). Sedusa expands clown models and masks for women by exploiting the ‘masquerade’ of femininity, a term originally coined by Joan Riviere in 1929. The thesis includes a performance as Sedusa as an embodiment of my research findings.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an analysis of J.D. Salinger’s “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” from both mythic-archetypal and gender-oriented perspectives. It looks specifically at the way a gender-oriented reading allows one to interpret “Bananafish” as a radical reassessment of Carl Jung’s ideas about the process of individuation, as well as Joseph Campbell’s conception of what he describes as the monomyth in his The Hero with a Thousand Faces. The reader is asked to look at how patriarchal values have greatly limited the development of these characters’ identities over time, and the complex archetypal and mythic implications of this limitation.

El desbarrancadero, published in 2001 by Colombian author Fernando Vallejo is foremost a moving story about brotherly love, but it is also a highly critical novel that lashes out on a number of phenomena such as the catholic church, the Pope and the very idea of religion. It also addresses the poverty of Colombia, its corrupt politicians, the drug trade, viral diseases and animal abuse to mention a few more subjects. This essay however, does not aim to explore any of the above mentioned matters but rather examine how women are portrayed in this novel. The objective of this investigation, based on feminist theories, is to establish the very clear presence of misogyny attitudes.

CHDS State/LocalArt, myth, metaphors and archetypes can foster divergent thinking and serve as channels for integrating imagination and evocative ambiguity into traditional analysis and problem solving. New ways of representing ideas about homeland security not only provide vehicles for communication, but also expand and improve our ability to contemplate and understand this complex, emerging discipline. Through this paper and three original artworks, I argue for admitting art, imagination and the searching attitude of humanism into the domain of homeland security. I use the myth of Perseus and Medusa to focus on the mirrored shield as a metaphor for seeing ourselves as part of the predicament and for regarding the response not simply as solution, but as creative evolution. The metaphors we choose, consciously or unconsciously, to tell the story of homeland security will frame not only what we think but how we act and how we are perceived. Art is not frivolous. It is both mirror and shield, and allows us to move, stretch, and reach to transform reality. Art is forward leaning and operates in a non-linear or supra-linear process whose edges, mass, margins, and shadows expand the universe of possibilities and pre-suppose the existence of new forms.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is based upon my artistic interaction and response to the 5,000-year-old myth of the Sumerian deity, Inanna. The main element of this thesis consists of a body of artwork that evolved out of the interweaving of textual, psychological, and artistic research. The artwork is an artist's response to a particular juncture in the descent portion of Inanna's myth . . . the moment of her transformation. This amalgamation of artistic and textual artifacts documents the power of an ancient story, from a long-dead culture, to reach through time and touch an individual life. The written documentation draws from diverse areas of study such as alchemy, mythology, depth psychology, women's spirituality, and women's studies. Through readings, conferences, workshops, one-on-one conversations, active imagination, and art-making I have woven together a glimpse, perhaps a momentary perspective, of an encounter with a divine feminine archetype. I am a visual artist and my lens is that of a 21st century woman and a maker-of-things. I gather, experience, and express my knowingness from this point of view and my thesis reflects my perspective.

Full textAbstract:
In this practice-based thesis I examine how I interpreted the myth of Helen of Troy in solo and collaborative forms of playwriting. For the interpretation of Helen’s myth in solo playwriting, I wrote a script that contextualised in a contemporary world the most significant characters of Helen’s myth which are: Helen, Menelaus, Hermione, Paris, Hecuba, Priam. This first practical research project investigated how characters that were contemporary reconstructions of Menelaus, Hermione, Paris , Hecuba, Priam, Telemachus were affected by Helen as an absent figure, a figure that was not present on stage but was remembered and discussed by characters. For the interpretation of Helen’s myth in collaborative playwriting, I asked three female performers to analyse the character of Helen and then conceptualise and write their own Helen character. The performers’ analyses and rewritings of Helen inspired me to write a script whose story evolved around three Helen characters that were dead and interacted with one another in a space of death. This script formed part of my second practical research project that explored the ways of making Helen’s character present (both scripts that culminated out of my two practical research projects are included in the section of the Accompanying Material). I analyse the process of writing the scripts of the first and second practical research project through the use of Jungian archetype theory. In the first chapter of the thesis, I explore what an archetype is according to Jungian theory and then explain how this theory enables me to comment on the process of reinterpreting the myth of Helen of Troy through the writing of the two scripts. In the second chapter, which is the commentary on the first practical research project, I show how archetype theory provides a theoretical tool with which I can clarify and analyse how I reinterpreted and/or reworked the archetypal emotional energies of Menelaus, Hermione, Hecuba, Priam, Paris, Telemachus in the writing of new characters. In the third chapter, which is the commentary on the second practical research project, I investigate how the archetype theory helped me identify the key emotional experiences of the performers’ Helen characters, experiences which I organised and developed further in the writing of my own Helen characters. I conclude my thesis by arguing that my scripts cannot provide a final interpretation of Helen’s myth because they still lack a certain overarching theme or concept.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to analyse the patterns of ancient myths that can be found in the novel Le Petit Prince by Antoine Saint-Exupery. In order to understand the culture and human behavior we will draw parallels to ancient myths and through the discovered myths in the novel, we will use the help of Carl Gustav Jung’s theory about the human psyche. The main questions are the following : What are the patterns of ancient myths in the novel Le Petit Prince ? Do these myths carry any messages that we, as readers, can learn from ? In the introduction, a theorical backround is given which defines the concept of myth and explains briefly Jung’s theory. Our analysis shows that although myths differ from one another they all have the same roots. By this means, all characters in myths are archetypes that, according to Jung, are the same through history and in every culture. By studying the archetypes in this novel, like the divine child, Anima/Animus, the Sages etc., we are able to understand the plot more clearly. We are also aware of patterns that seem to repeat themselves through the generations. Our conclusion is that humans adapt easily to their surroundings and eventually lose their self-awareness. Therefore Saint-Exupery sends readers the message that we have to wake ourselves up to truly live our lives. Also we discovered that numerous archetypes that are present in all of myths, give us clues to self-realization, thus myths are necessary for people of all ages.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPhil (Visual Arts))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.This thesis considers the author's project submission, a comic-book entitled The Number One Game, as production of a local heroic myth. The author will show how this project attempts to engage with mythic and archetypal material to produce an entertaining narrative that has relevance to contemporary Cape Town. The narrative adapts previous incarnations of the hero, with reference to theories of archetypes and mythic patterning devices that are derived from the concept of the “mono-myth”. Joseph Campbell's conception of myth as expressing internal psychic processes will be compared to Roland Barthes' reading of myth as a special inflection of speech that forms a semiotic “metalanguage”. The comic-book is a specific form of the language of comics, a combination of image and text that is highly structured and that can produce a rich graphic text. Using the Judge Dredd and Batman comic-books as models it will be shown how The Number One Game adapts traditions of representation, such as in genre references, to local perspective to create a novel interplay of archetypes. It will be shown that this interplay in the author's project work and the rich potential of the comic-book as a site for mythic speech makes the mythic a useful paradigm for considering the expression of ideology in the heroic comic-book.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a rhetorical analysis of the movie Easy Rider. It explores how auteurs Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern's use of road, regional, and cowboy mythology creates a text that simultaneously exposes and is dominated by the ironies inherent in American culture and breathes new life into the cowboy myth, reaffirming the cowboy's place as one of America's most enduring cultural icons.

Esta pesquisa utiliza a análise do discurso para investigar os valores ideológicos que fundamentam o discurso presente em Kojiki tomo I, a obra mais antiga do Japão. Além de sua antiguidade, sua importância consiste por seu repositório dos primeiros mitos, mitologia japonesa, história e poema-canção (歌謡:Kayō). Nesta pesquisa os mitos são símbolos da nova estrutura que se estabelece neste período, regulando suas práticas sociais. Eles possuem duas funções na narrativa: uma temporal, relacionada ao evento passado e atemporal, cuja importância está sempre presente em sua comunidade. Sua segunda função é criar suas lideranças políticas e um sentimento de pertencimento a uma cultura. Como tal, considera-se três questões: qual o papel da cosmogonia e dos mitos dentro do tomo I? Como se constitui a organização narrativa desses mitos e qual a formação do herói? E, de acordo com essa organização, qual a função que se quis destacar no tomo I? Para responder a essas questões, essa pesquisa analisa, sistematicamente, a construção do discurso nas narrativas utilizando teorias da linguagem e a Nova retórica, desenvolvida por Perelman e Tyteca (2014). Além disso, as relaciona ao contexto político do Japão nos períodos Yayoi (弥生時代: 400 a.C.-250 d.C.) até Nara (奈良時代: 710 - 794 d.C.). Este estudo conclui que a narrativa mítica estabelece o paradigma que rege as relações sociais do país. Isso ocorre porque o mito incorpora os significantes existentes na ordem simbólica japonesa. O primeiro tomo da obra atua como uma alegoria para narrar a origem da família imperial mais antiga do mundo, que hoje está no 125° imperador, Akihito (1989 - presente). Desprovido de suas particularidades do espaço e do tempo, a narrativa ainda preserva sua natureza mítica como um relato teleológico dessa sociedade.This research uses speech analysis to investigate the ideological values in the discourse present in Kojiki - tome I, the oldest writing in Japan. Besides its antiquity, its importance relies on its repository of the first myths, the japanese mythology, history and poem-chant (歌謡:Kayō). In this research the myths are symbols of the new structure that has been set in this period, which orders the social practices. They have two functions in the narrative: the first is temporal, related to past events and atemporal, which importance is still present in its community. The second one is to create political leaderships and the feeling of belonging to a culture. As such, it is considered three questions: what are the roles of the cosmogony and the myths in tome I? How are the myths arranged in the narrative organization and how is the hero formed? And, according to this organization, what is the highlighted function in tome I? To address these questions this research analyses, systematically, the speech constructions in the narratives using theories of language and the New rhetoric, developed by Perelman and Tyteca (2014). Furthermore, they are connected to the political context in Japan during the Yayoi period (弥生時代: 400 A.D.-250 B.C.) up to the Nara period ((奈良時代: 710 - 794 B.C). This study concludes that the mythical narrative establishes the paradigm that conduct the social relations in the country. This happens because the myth incorporates the existent signifiers into the japanese order. The writings first tome works as an allegory to tell the origin of the oldest imperial family, which is in its 125th emperor, Akihito (1989 - present). Regardless of its time and space particularities, the narrative still maintains its mythical nature as a teleological report of this society.

The relevance and creativity of Walt Disney to the cultural history and contemporary art is express in the movie Fantasia (1940), which originality is characterized by the union between the new technologies applied to the animation movies in the first decades of the twentieth century and the diverse kinds of cultural and artistic languages produced so far. Through this combination between aesthetic and ethical values, the symbolic language used allows the identification of the archetypes of the collective unconscious that orbit in the popular imagination. This work aims to present an analysis of Fantasia movie, especially the historic, structural and symbolic aspects, through the methodological resources proposed at the John B Thompson s Depth Hermeneutics. To the results were defined three focuses of interest which are at the movie: the historical and cultural contexts which the movie was made; the technical features of the film language and, finally the behavioral issues linked to the archetypal psychology. The first chapter provides a brief introduction of the animation movies and the Disney s contributions and his staff for this autonomous art. And, points the history of the creation and production of Fantasia in its historical context. The second chapter aims to show the structural factors of the work, making a descriptive analysis and relate it to the animation principles that gave to this language the bases of a singular aesthetic. In the last chapter, it's made a reinterpretation to the animate forms in the movie Fantasia, proposed by Disney and his staff, in the perspective of archetypal psychology, in other words, what are the symbols that represents the deeper structures of the collective psyche giving the meaning of the story. The final consideration confirms the initial hypothesis that Fantasia is an original work in terms of its technical way, conditioned by ethical and aesthetic values of Judeo-Christian traditions and its timeless success is based on the universal symbols and myths that exist in the beginning of history of the civilization.
A relevância e a criatividade de Walt Disney para a história da cultura e da arte contemporânea estão expressas na sua obra Fantasia (1940), cuja originalidade se caracteriza pela união entre as novas tecnologias aplicadas ao cinema de animação nas primeiras décadas do século XX e as mais diversas linguagens artístico-culturais produzidas até então. Por meio desta combinação entre valores estéticos e éticos, a linguagem simbólica utilizada permite identificar os arquétipos que orbitam o inconsciente coletivo no imaginário popular. Este trabalho buscou apresentar uma análise do filme Fantasia, apontando em especial seus aspectos históricos, estruturais e simbólicos, por meio dos recursos metodológicos propostos em Hermenêutica da Profundidade, por John B. Thompson. Para se chegar aos resultados, foram definidos, portanto, três focos de interesses presentes na obra: o contexto histórico-cultural no qual esta foi produzida a obra; os recursos técnicos da linguagem fílmica e, por último, as questões comportamentais vinculadas à Psicologia Arquetípica. O primeiro capítulo traz uma breve introdução do cinema de animação, as contribuições de Disney e sua equipe para a fundamentação desta modalidade como arte autônoma. Destaca a história da criação e produção de Fantasia no seu contexto histórico. O segundo capítulo aponta os fatores estruturais da obra, fazendo uma análise descritiva e relacionando-a com os princípios de animação, que deram identidade a essa linguagem e ajudaram a fundamentar uma estética singular. No último capítulo é feita uma reintrepetação das formas animadas presentes em Fantasia, propostas por Disney e sua equipe, sob a ótica da psicologia arquetípica, ou seja, que símbolos representam as estruturas mais profundas da psique coletiva dando sentido ao enredo. As considerações finais confirmam a hipótese inicial de que Fantasia é uma obra original no que tange seu percurso técnico, condicionada pelos valores éticos e estéticos da formação judaico-cristã no mundo ocidental e seu sucesso atemporal se deve à utilização de símbolos e mitos universais presentes nos primórdios da história da civilização.

Joseph Campbell tells us that if you look closely at all cultures you find the story of “The Hero's Journey”, the vehicle for my thesis project, a devised theatre piece titled A Thousand Faces: Everyday Heroes. Though the subject of A Thousand Faces is the exploration of “The Hero's Journey” the foundation of the work is the application of the pedagogical principles of Ritual Poetic Drama Within the African Continuum (RPDWAC) as outlined in the practices of my mentor Dr. Tawnya Pettiford-Wates, Assistant Professor of Performance at Virginia Commonwealth University Theatre (VCU). I apply RPDWAC pedagogical principles to Archetypes for the Actor/Singer (AFAS), a training methodology developed by Frankie Armstrong and another of my mentors, Professor of Voice and Speech and Head of Performance at VCU Theatre, Janet B. Rodgers. This paper outlines the process and performance of a class that combined these methodologies.

Full textAbstract:
Le mythe est une donnee fondamentale dans l'univers de zola, bien connue des specialistes; par contre l'etude du paysage y est en general occultee, ou seulement envisagee sous l'angle des relations entre litterature et histoire de l'art (zola impressionniste ou expressionniste). Dans le sillage des declarations de l'auteur sur l'irruption de la nature dans ses oeuvres, "d'un elan si impetueux qu'elle les a emplies, noyant parfois l'humanite, submergeant et emportant les personnages au milieu d'une debacle de roches et de grands arbres", nous avons degage tout d'abord, dans les ecrits de jeunesse et les contes et nouvelles, sous le titre de "loci zoliani", un certain nombre d'archetypes (mer et rivage, campagnes, jardins, etc), associant des images feminines et masculines, des processus de l'affectivite, des impressions d'euphorie ou de malaise. Puis, dans une seconde partie intitulee "microcosmes", nous nous sommes attaches a l'etude detaillee d'un corpus plus restreint de sept paysages romanesques, dont les caracteristiques seraient, au niveau de la representation, la cloture, le role intense de la vegetation, le dessin complexe, et les parcours des personnages qui s'y lisent; et qui, au niveau symbolique, constitueraient des espaces d'interdiction, ou les personnages qui les traversent sont separes par la societe, la religion, le tabou de l'inceste, ou la mort. Analysant tour a tour la topologie et la signification de ces espaces dans l'inconscient, nous avons pour finir ordonne nos conclusions autour de quatre axes: fabrication, parcours, symbolique, et role de l'espace, a la fois comme actant, comme lieu de resolution mythique des conflits, et comme moyen de catharsis pour l'ecrivainMyth, an essential element in zola's world, is well known to specialists; on the contrary, the study of landscape is usually neglected, or intepreted only from the stand point of relationship between literature and the history of art (zola as an impressionnist or an expressionnist artist). Following on the writer's declarations about the irruption of nature in his work, we first noticed, in the early writings and in the contes et nouvelles, under the title of loci zoliani, some archetypes (sea and sea shores, country sides, gardens, etc), associating feminine and masculine images, affectivity processes, feelings of happiness or anxiety. Then, in a second part entitled microcosmes, we tried to study in detail a more limited corpus, vomposed of seven literary landscapes, of which the characteristics would be, on the representational level, enclosure, intense role of vegetation, complex design, and itinerary of the characters; and which, on the symbolic level, would constitute prohibitive areas, where those crossing them are separated from each other by society, religion, incest taboo, ordeath. After having analysed topology and signification of space in the inconscious, we have finally organized our conclusions around four themes: constitution of space, progression through space, symbolism of space, and role of space, not only as an "actant" and as a place of mythical resolution of conflicts, but also as a means of catharsis for the writer

Full textAbstract:
O ponto fundamental desta tese é a comprovação de que os mitos e arquétipos presentes na obra em prosa de Mário de Sá-Carneiro auxiliam na formação de uma visão de mundo do autor. Mitos e arquétipos representam motivos, elementos temáticos fundamentais que aparecem e se repetem nos textos literários ao longo do tempo e revelam metaforicamente um conjunto de valores. Cada autor tem a sua mitologia particular, ou seja, mesmo que a criação literária seja feita pelo desejo consciente do artista de construir o seu texto, esses elementos temáticos aparecem em sua obra, tenha ele consciência disso ou não. Então, fez-se um levantamento dos principais mitos e arquétipos presentes na obra em prosa de Mário de Sá-Carneiro, depreendendo-se os valores ideológicos, éticos e estéticos que eles representam, para assim mostrar que eles auxiliam na sua visão de mundo. Os principais mitos encontrados foram o de Eros e Thanatos, de Salomé, da busca, e o da criação. Os arquétipos fundamentais são o do fidalgo simbolista assim nomeado dentro desta tese, a partir do arquétipo identificado por Edmund Wilson, em sua obra O Castelo de Axel e o da femme fatale. A partir de então, percebeu-se que estes elementos temáticos supracitados revelam alguns valores fundamentais para o autor, forjando uma visão de mundo que se caracteriza por alguns pontos basilares. Um deles é a insatisfação com a realidade, que se tenta resolver com a criação de uma arte tida como genial e superior. Esse sentimento de descontentamento é fruto também do fato de o artista moderno não se adaptar ao mundo de sua época, por isso seu refúgio na arte (que muitas vezes descamba para a estetização da vida), e em uma espécie de dandismo heróico. Isso dá um tom trágico e grandioso à existência desse indivíduo, considerado superior aos demais. Outro ponto importante da visão de mundo de Sá-Carneiro é a noção de que o amor só se resolve na morte. A causa central disso é uma concepção dicotômica da mulher tida ou como femme fatale ou burguesa ingênua , que impede a concretização de um relacionamento maduro e saudável.The fundamental point of this thesis is the corroboration that the myths and the archetypes of the works of Mário de Sá-Carneiro assist in the formation of his vision of the world. Myths and archetypes represent motifs, thematic elements that appear many times in universal Literature and can reveal a set of values in a metaphoric way. Each writer has his own mythology, and even the literary creation is made in a conscious way, these thematic elements appear in his work, even he doesn´t know that. Then, this thesis made a research of the main myths and archetypes that is relevant in the literary works of Mário de Sá-Carneiro, perceiving the ideological, ethical and aesthetic values that they represent, in order to show how they assist in his set of values. The main myths that were found are Eros e Thanatos, Salomé, the quest and the creation. The main archetypes found were symbolist noble that are named this way from the archetype found by Edmund Wilson, in his work Axel´s Castle and the femme fatale. These thematic elements reveal some author´s essential values, forging his vision of the world, which is characterized for some basic points. One of them, is the sentiment of dissatisfaction with the reality, and the artist tries to solve it with the creation of some superior and brilliant form of art. This feeling of dissatisfaction is also cause by the fact that the modern artist is not well adapted in his own world, because of that he escapes to the art (that in many cases leads to a kind of stylization of life), and to a form of heroic dandyism. All of this gives a tragic and magnificent tone to this individual´s existence, which is considered superior among the others. Another important point in Mário de Sá-Carneiro´s vision of the world is the idea that love can only be resolved by death. It is caused by a dichotomy in the vision of the woman that is considered as a femme fatale or a naïve bourgeois woman that hinders a mature and healthy relationship.

Full textAbstract:
O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma leitura do romance Drácula, do escritor irlandês Bram Stoker, publicado em 1897. O propósito do estudo é identificar os arquétipos e imagens predominantes em Drácula, mostrando em que medida eles representam questões pertinentes à sociedade vitoriana e aos públicos receptores que obra teve desde então. A obra é publicada em um momento histórico que se configura ponto crucial na conflituada transição entre os antigos valores rurais britânicos e os da moderna sociedade urbana contemporânea, e a conseqüência desta transição é uma mudança drástica no código comportamental britânico. Diversos elementos desta transformação podem ser identificados nas representações simbólicas encontradas no romance de Stoker, e a voracidade com que a obra é consumida pelos leitores desde a época vitoriana se configura sintoma das premências decorrentes da excessiva repressão daquele período. A análise do arquétipo do vampiro e das imagens arquetípicas apresentadas em Drácula se dará predominantemente através do exame das implicações psicológicas e antropológicas ligadas ao imaginário do Sangue. O embasamento teórico se ampara nas contribuições prestadas por Carl Gustav Jung e Gilbert Durand. A dissertação vem subdividida em três capítulos. Na primeira parte do capítulo um apresento as contextualizações referentes a certos fenômenos observados na sociedade vitoriana, especialmente no que tange às implicaturas de gênero no código comportamental da época, e na segunda apresento contextualizações referentes a personagens históricos que influenciaram Bram Stoker na criação de seu personagem principal. No segundo capítulo, remeto ao embasamento teórico, apresentando os conceitos definidos por Jung nos quais a leitura do capítulo 3 se ampara, bem como analiso símbolos, imagens e arquétipos em Drácula de acordo com os regimes da imaginação propostos por Durand. No terceiro capítulo ofereço minha leitura do romance, na qual identifico e analiso imagens e símbolos do Sangue presentes no romance. Na conclusão, apresento as últimas considerações, com o intuito de ratificar as fortes ligações que se estabelecem entre os significados velados inscritos no romance e as vivências da sociedade receptora, tendo como base o mito do vampiro e sua associação com o imaginário do sangue na tentativa de explicar a bemsucedida e contínua recepção do romance.The aim of this thesis is to present a reading of Dracula, published in 1897 by the Irish author Bram Stoker. The purpose of the investigation is to identify the predominant archetypes and images in Dracula, showing to what extent they represent relevant issues to Victorian society and the audiences the novel has had since then. The work is published in a crucial historical moment, during which the British traditional rural values are replaced by modern and urban ones. A major consequence of such a transition is a drastic change in the British behavioral code. Several elements in such a transformation can be identified in Stoker’s novel, and the eagerness with which the work was accepted by Victorian audiences is a symptom of the needs that resulted from the excessive repression from that period. The analysis of the archetype of the vampire and the archetypal images presented in Dracula unfolds predominantly through the examination of the psychological and anthropological implications connected to blood imagery. The main theoretical tools come from the studies of Carl Gustav Jung and Gilbert Durand. The thesis is subdivided in three chapters. In the first part of chapter one I present some contextualization referring to certain phenomena perceived in the Victorian society, mainly the ones regarding the gender implications in the behavioral code of the time, and in the second part I present contextualization connected to historical characters who influenced Bram Stoker in the creation of his main character. In chapter two I present the theoretical approach, introducing the concepts defined by Jung upon which the reading in chapter 3 is based. I also analyze symbols, images and archetypes in Dracula according to the orders of the image proposed by Durand. In chapter three I offer my reading, identifying and analyzing blood images and symbols in the novel. In the conclusion, I present the final considerations, with the purpose of ratifying the strong bonds connecting the underlying meanings present in the novel and the life experience of the audience, having as a basis the myth of the vampire and its association to the blood imaginary, in an attempt to explain the successful and continuous reception of the novel.

This work proposes a study of the sebastianist legend as mythical matter in Romance d A pedra do Reino (RPR). We assume, supported by Northrop Frye, Carl Jung, Mircea Eliade, Joseph Campbell and Gilbert Durand the perspective in which the myth remains but restore itself infinitely by images and archetypical symbolism. First, we reach to rebuild the conforming cultural essence of the fictional s sebastianist legends of Portugal and Brasil identifying its archetypical components. Thus, we look for sebastianist messianic references, for its thesis and discourse, in the plurilinguistic design of RPR, considering its relevance in the mythical discourse s configuration of the narrative. We notice a forceful tension between apocalyptical and demoniac images, resulting from narrator-protagonist idealistic view and his involvement in realistic world incongruence, pointing myth s dislocations and ironic manner predominance in the narrative. Besides the external and unconcluded character s contest, connected to the judicial process and to the production of his Obra de Gênio da Raça (Genius Lineage/Race Work), foundation stone to his sebastianist messianic kingdom of the Fifth Empire, we distinguish some inner demand linked to his way to maturity which doesn t consolidate effectively. The character s project and their temporary dismissal state plus his expectation of its accomplishment in a not far future constitutes the most important sebastianist messianic bias in the production, strengthened by other thematic recurrences in the Pedra Bonita s sebastianist legend, and make possible still the establishment of a more fertile analogy to the Portuguese manifestation. These different fronts of myth s restoration grant universality and absence of temporality to RPR.
Este trabalho propõe um estudo da lenda sebastianista como matéria mítica no Romance d A Pedra do Reino (RPR), de Ariano Suassuna. Assumimos, com o auxílio das teorizações de Northrop Frye, subsidiadas por Carl Jung, Mircea Eliade, Joseph Campbell, e Gilbert Durand, a perspectiva de que o mito permanece e se atualiza infinitamente por meio de imagens e simbolismos arquetípicos. Buscamos inicialmente reconstruir os veios culturais conformadores do imaginário das lendas sebastianistas de Portugal e do Brasil e identificar seus componentes arquetípicos. Em seguida buscamos as recorrências do messianismo sebástico no tecido plurilinguista do RPR, temática e discursivamente, considerando sua relevância na configuração do discurso mítico na obra. Verificamos a existência de uma forte tensão entre imagens apocalípticas e demoníacas, decorrente da incongruência entre a visão idealista do narrador-protagonista e o mundo realista em que se encontra envolvido, evidenciando os deslocamentos do mito na obra e o predomínio das convenções do modo irônico. Ao lado da demanda exterior e não concluída do personagem, ligada ao processo judicial e à criação de sua Obra de Gênio da Raça , pedra fundamental para a instalação de seu reino messiânico-sebastianista do Quinto Império, distinguimos uma demanda interior ligada a seu percurso rumo à maturidade, o qual não se consolidada efetivamente. O estado de suspensão nos projetos do personagem e a expectativa de sua concretização num futuro próximo constituem o viés messiânico-sebastianista mais importante na obra, fortalecido pelas demais recorrências temáticas da lenda sebastianista de Pedra Bonita, e possibilitam ainda o estabelecimento de uma analogia mais fértil com a manifestação sebastianista portuguesa. Essas diferentes frentes de atualização do do mito na narrativa conferem ao RPR sua universalidade e a intemporalidade.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho se propôs a analisar O Diabo Mesquinho (1892-1902), romance-chave de Fiódor Sologub (1863-1927), um dos expoentes do simbolismo russo. Além da importância incontestável da obra para a literatura russa e mundial, foi estímulo para a pesquisa a possibilidade de delinear o primeiro estudo acadêmico sobre o autor no Brasil. A análise seguiu duas direções, que continuamente se encontraram: a evidente tessitura paródica, e a presença de arquétipos míticos universais perpassados por elementos do folclore russo. Quanto ao uso da paródia, tendo como base teórica autores como Iuri Tyniánov e Mikhail Bakhtin, foram feitas aproximações de O Diabo Mesquinho com textos de Aleksándr Púchkin, Nikolai Gógol e Fiódor Dostoiévski, cujas marcas deflagradas são essenciais para o entendimento da estrutura da obra, assim como o narrador que, subvertendo a estética realista, organiza esses discursos. Com relação à incorporação de arquétipos literários, a qual ressalta a dimensão paródica e a contextura neomitológica, tal como conceituada por Zara Mints, foi desenvolvida uma análise do desdobramento do anti-herói Ardalión Peredonov, um trickster diabólico, no herói cultural mítico. Esse aprofundamento, embasado sobretudo em Eliazar Meletínski, desvelou a articulação que a narrativa faz entre as dualidades míticas mais estáveis (caos versus cosmos, próprio versus alheio), as construções de herói e de anti-herói, e os traços folclóricos e do demonismo popular. A convivência desses componentes conduz o enredo ao caos mítico junto da loucura progressiva de Peredonov. A breve contextualização do simbolismo russo, movimento que, apoiado na própria cultura e história, inaugurou novos rumos na arte e na filosofia russas, foi também fundamental para trabalhar com O Diabo Mesquinho, pois o romance consagra seus grandes mestres, sublinha seu contexto gerador e rompe paradigmas.The research aims at analysing The Petty Demon (1892-1902), a key novel by Fiódor Sologub (1863-1927) who is one of the best known writers of the Russian symbolism. The importance of this novel is well established for Russian and world literature, and this research thesis was the first academic study on the author in Brazil. The analysis followed two main directions, which appear in intersection: first, the evident parodist structure of the text and second, the presence of universal mythic archetypes juxtaposed by elements of the Russian folklore, which inhabit the narration. Regarding the use of parody, drawing on Iuri Tyniánov and Mikhail Bakhtin, the analysis establish dialogues between The Petty Demon and texts by Aleksándr Púchkin, Nikolai Gógol and Fiódor Dostoiévski. These parodist dialogues are seen here as essential for the understanding of the structure of the text, as well as the narrator who organises these discourses subverting the realistic aesthetics. In relation to the incorporation of literary archetypes in the novel, highlighting the parodist dimension and the neomythologic structure, as conceptualised by Zara Mints, an analysis was developed on the history of the anti-hero Ardalión Peredonov, a diabolic trickster, as a cultural mythic hero. This in-depth analysis drawing on Eliazar Meletínski, unravelled the articulation between well established mythic dualities (chaos versus cosmos); the construction of the hero and anti-hero; and the folkloric characteristics and popular demonism. The relation between these components guides the story to the mythic chaos alongside the gradual madness of Peredonov. The brief contextualisation put forward in this research thesis of the Russian symbolism - a movement that based on its own culture and history launched new paths for Russian arts and philosophy - was fundamental to the analysis of The Petty Demon, as the novel established great masters in literature, highlighted its symbolist context and broke paradigms.

Full textAbstract:
The fundamental dichotomy between savage and civilized man is examined within the archetypal Western myth of American culture. The roots of the dichotomy are explored through images produced between 1888 and 1909 by artists Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. Four John Ford films are then used as a basis for the "dichotomous archetype" approach to understanding Western myth in film. Next, twenty-nine "historical" and "contemporary" Western movies are discussed chronologically, from The Virginian (1929) to Dances with Wolves (1990), in terms of the savage/civilized schema as it is personified by the roles of archetypal characters. The conclusion proposes a potential resolution of the savage/civilized conflict through an ecumenical mythology that recognizes a universal reverence for nature.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese procura registrar uma história de vida articulada por imagens da literatura apropriadas pela subjetividade no sentido de uma educação do cultivo da alma. Para isso, lanço-me, a partir de alguns trajetos de leitura, a um percurso teórico-analítico de cunho antropoliterário, no qual o texto é compreendido como mito e incorporado à história de vida do leitor como mediador simbólico inter e intrasubjetivo, cuja abertura semântica deve-se justamente à presença da imagem arquetípica segundo noção de James Hillman (1995:10). Os potenciais pedagógicos da literatura são veiculados pelas imagens portadoras do arquétipo como \"janelas de aprendizagem\" (Paula Carvalho) que permitem que o leitor transite do texto à existência e de volta, num circuito que o auxilia a promover a equilibração de polaridades e a elaboração criativa da alteridade representada, em última instância, pelo inconsciente, no sentido da construção da identidade do ego e em direção à individuação. São eixos organizadores: (1) a Arquetipologia Geral no contexto da Teoria Geral do Imaginário, de Gilbert Durand; (2) a noção de imagem no contexto da Psicologia Arquetípica, segundo James Hillman e (3) a noção de Educação Fática em José Carlos de Paula Carvalho. A partir de uma perspectiva hermenêutica que procura a abertura do discursivo rumo ao existencial (Paula Carvalho, 1998:59), recolho imagens de três obras clássicas da literatura, lidas por mim aos treze anos de idade, e que me conduziram na direção da descoberta da imagem essencial - a da educadora -, processo no qual enxergo a finalidade última da educação. As referidas obras lidas à margem da escola tornaram-se especialmente significativas devido à dinâmica proposta pela dimensão escolar oficial, também ela imprescindível para que a experiência com o significado se construísse. Retorno assim a Madame Bovary, de Gustave Flaubert, como exemplo de uma literatura para a formação da sensibilidade heróica; ao Decamerão, de Giovanni Boccaccio, como exemplo de uma literatura para a formação da sensibilidade mística e a O morro dos ventos uivantes, de Emily Brontë, como exemplo de uma literatura para a formação da sensibilidade dramática.This present study tries to register images of a life history articulated by images of the literature - these latter ones appropriated by the subjectivity towards an education of the soul. Being so, I launch myself, starting from my experiences as a reader, into a theoretical-analytical path based on an anthropo-literary view in which literature is understood as myth and life history, i.e., as inter and intra-subjective symbolic mediator whose semantic openness is due mostly to the presence of the archetypal image - according to James Hillman\'s denomination ( 1995, 10). The pedagogical potentials of the literature are, in this way, transmitted by the images bearing an archetypal meaning that circulates from the text towards the life of the reader, to promote the equilibrium of the polarities, through the creative elaboration of alterity represented by the unconscious, in the construction of the ego´s identity. The thematic axe\'s that organize this study are: 1) The General Archetypology, of Gilbert Durand (1997); 2) the notion of image according to the Archetypal Psychology, of James Hillman (1997b). From an hermeneutic perspective, which looks for an openness that goes from the discourse towards the existential (Paula Carvalho, 1998, 59), I get images from three classical novels, in order to understand themselves in the convergence of life with reading, even guiding me to the direction of the discovery of my own essential image or daimon - in which I recognize the objective of education. The mentioned novels were read apart from school. Nevertheless, they became specially significant in my educational process due to the dynamism proposed by the official schooling dimension - also completely necessary so that this experience with meaning could be built. So, I come back to Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert, as an example of a literature that forms the heroic sensibility; to Decameron, by Giovanni Bocaccio, as an example of a literature that forms the mystic sensibility; to O morro dos ventos uivantes, by Emily Brontë, as an example of a literature that forms the dramatic sensibility.

Full textAbstract:
Dans notre travail qui porte sur les productions romanesques majeures de Marguerite Yourcenar, nous nous sommes proposé de suivre deux axes d’investigation : d’un côté, l’écriture de l’histoire, qui s’avère être indissolublement liée à une vision mythique du monde ; et de l’autre, l’écriture de soi, celle-ci amplement définie par les conceptions empruntées au bouddhisme qui cherchent à dénoncer l’illusion du « je » et la vacuité substantielle de toute notion identitaire. Ceci dit, nous avons tâché de montrer que l’écriture autobiographique de notre auteur devient amplement problématisée pour être muée enfin en une écriture hétérobiographique. De même, nous avons essayé de dégager une certaine réversibilité de thèmes et de procédés narratifs qui est à l’origine de la fluctuation générique des œuvres romanesques de M. YourcenarIn our paper, we suggest two planes of the examination of Marguerite Yourcenar’s major novels: on the one hand, her novels are seen as a form of a narrative indistinguishably associated with a mythic vision of the world; on the other hand, they are seen as the writing of the self, utterly defined by the concepts based on Buddhism that denounce the illusion of ‘’I’’ and substantially leave out the notion of identity. Having stated this, we endeavor to show that the autobiographical writing of the author in question becomes greatly problematized as it is being misinterpreted as a heterobiographic piece of writing. We have also tried to clear out some uncertainties about themes and narrative procedures which are the basis of generic fluctuations of Marguerite Yourcenar’s novels

Full textAbstract:
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar a existência de convergências mitológicas hebraicas e lusitanas em Mensagem, de Fernando Pessoa. A hipótese que nos guia é a de que é possível detectar ressonâncias de mitos hebraicos bíblicos na remitologizacão tal como proposta por Pessoa apontando, a partir daí, a presença de determinados arquétipos literários universais que constituem o arcabouço da obra. Pretendemos mostrar que, em Portugal, há uma necessidade e um anseio latentes da coletividade no sentido de resgatar ―o futuro do passado‖ português, isto é, procurar, de alguma forma, recuperar a atmosfera de apogeu imperialista que marcou a era dos descobrimentos que se acaba com o desaparecimento de D. Sebastião durante a Batalha de Alcácer Quibir e a perda da autonomia portuguesa com a submissão da nação ao reinado de Filipe II, da Espanha. Neste resgate, Pessoa, valendo-se do processo de recuperação de certos mitos e de mitificação de certos fatos históricos, consegue poeticamente, primeiro, fundir mito e história e, depois, romper com o tempo histórico e recriar o mito de Portugal. Consideramos o Sebastianismo e o V Império como mitos norteadores da composição desta obra; o primeiro deles enraizado no Messianismo hebraico profetizado por Isaías e outros profetas; e o último, o V Império, nascido de um sonho do rei Nabucodonosor e interpretado por Daniel. Os principais conceitos que embasam esta investigação são o de remitologização, proposto por Mielietinski (1987); de mito, objeto dos estudos de Mircea Eliade (1989; 1992; 2002; 2004); e de arquétipo, tal como foi definido por Jung (2000) e por Mielietinski (2002). Recorremos à história e/ou mitos dos judeus, sobretudo à Bíblia, e à história de Portugal, também, às obras em prosa de Fernando Pessoa a fim de defender a tese que buscamos comprovar: a de que tanto o povo judeu quanto o povo lusitano são povos escolhidos para acolher o Messias e fundar o V Império. A pesquisa conclui que o mito lusitano do Sebastianismo e do V Império são ―descendentes‖ da mitologia bíblica, ou seja, os arquétipos do inconsciente luso estão etnograficamente vinculados à profunda influência do povo judeu que esteve presente há pelo menos quatro mil anos divulgando a ideia de esperança messiânica na Península Ibérica.Abstract: This research aims at investigating the existence of Hebraic and Portuguese mythological convergences in Message. The hypothesis that guides us is that it is possible to find echoes of biblical Hebraic myths in myths remythologyzed by Fernando Pessoa, and, as a consequence, to find certain universal literary archetypes which constitute the foundation of this literay composition. We intend to show that, mainly in Portugal, there may be seen a collective latent need and wish to rescue the Portuguese ―future of the past‖, searching to recreate the atmosphere of Imperial apogee that dominated Portugal at the time of the Maritime Discoveries, whose period of decadence starts with the disappearance D. Sebastião in Africa during the Alcácer Quibir Battle and the subsequent 60-year domination of Portugal by the Spanish administration, the Filipe II reign. To achive his poetic goal, Pessoa makes use of a process that recreates certain myhts as well as mystifies certain facts of the history of Portugal and, in consequence, promotes a rupture with the historical time and a recreation of the myth of Portugal. The Sebastianism and the Vth Empire are considered the guiding myths in Message. Sebastianism is rooted in the Messianism, as it has been foretold by Isaias (among other prophets) and the Vth Empire is rooted in Daniel‘s interpretation of Nabucodonosor‘s dream. The development of this study is grounded on Mielietinski‘s (1987) concept of remythologization, Eliade‘s studies (1989; 1992; 2002; 2004) on the myth and the sacred, as well as Jung‘s (2000) and Mielietinski (2002)‘s concept of archetype. We study the history of the Hebrews, especially the Bible, and the history of Portugal, and also the essays written by Pessoa, in which the Poet himself defends the idea of Jews and Portuguese as being the people elected to receive the Messiah and to set up theVth Empire. The research concluded that the Lusitanian myth of Sebastianism and the Vth Empire are ―descendant‖ of biblical mythology, that is, the archetypes of the Portuguese unconscious are ethnographically linked to the profound influence of the Jewish people in which it has been present for at least four thousand years, spreading out the idea of messianic hope in the Iberian Peninsula.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis applies a sociological framework to the North American celebrity career of Canadian pianist and broadcaster Glenn Gould (1932-1982) to account for Gould's iconic status as an artist in modern musical culture. Despite the persistent cultural fascination with Gould, as evidenced in the seemingly endless supply of biographies, films, novels, and fan texts which narrate and celebrate his life and work, modern Gould scholarship has consistently neglected issues relating to his artistic reception. This thesis proposes that the modern Gould phenomenon is productively analysed in terms of the contexts of its historical production in North America, where it first originated. Focusing on the circumstances of Gould's career during his lifetime, it identifies three areas of overlapping conceptual interest that provide the basis for an explanatory account of his modern mythology: i) Gould's relationship to the culture of his time, particularly in Canada; ii) Gould's relationship to the mass media; iii) Gould's relationship to his own artistic identity. This approach is refined through the application of Stuart Hall's 'Circuit of Culture' model, which yields an understanding of Gould's celebrity in terms of the processes of its representation, production, regulation, and consumption. Against this theoretical backdrop, and consistent with the premise of my thesis, I ask some key questions: what was Gould's relationship to Canadian cultural nationalism and, specifically, a nationalist discourse of public broadcasting? How did media institutions brand his image, and for what commercial purposes? How did Gould mobilise understandings of his genius and Canadian identity through his artistic discourse and experimental media self-representations as a 'Northerner' and a technologist? Based on this analysis, the thesis concludes that Gould continues to fascinate because of the unique ideological work performed by his cultural identities, and because of the highly mediated nature of his celebrity. The ubiquity of his image on video-sharing websites and social media platforms is a vindication of his radical belief in the validity of a musical career pursued primarily through the electronic media.

Full textAbstract:
Este estudo partiu da premissa que toda prática social é uma prática simbólica, portanto, educativa. Teve como foco de análise o Reinado de Nossa Senhora do Rosário (também conhecido como Congado), manifestação católica, típica dos negros, popular e importante em nosso Estado, tanto no interior quanto na capital, que aqui privilegia alguns grupos da cidade de Belo Horizonte. Esta manifestação se funda em uma narrativa mítica em torno da Santa de mesmo nome e constitui o imaginário de seus devotos. Dito de outro modo, por meio da narrativa, os devotos de Nossa Senhora do Rosário (os Filhos do rosário) definem não só a sua crença como todo seu modus vivendi. Estamos diante de uma prática social educativa (abusando da redundância). O estudo teve como perguntas mobilizadoras: que imagens estão presentes no mito de Nossa Senhora do Rosário? Como essas imagens constituem o modus vivendi de todos aqueles que seguem o rosário de Maria? Que significantes elas concretizam no imaginário de seus devotos? Como se dão os processos educativos na construção desse imaginário? Seu principal objetivo foi analisar as imagens míticas do Reinado, investigando as modulações entre o imaginário, o mito, a festa e as práticas educativas que lhes são intrínsecas. Para isso, elegeu como base epistemológica o paradigma da complexidade, e dentro dele, as teorias da antropologia do imaginário, da psicologia profunda e da festa. Os principais autores que alicerçaram este estudo foram Edgar Morin, Joseph Campbell, Gaston Bachelard, Gilbert Durand, Jean Duvignaud, Erich Neumann e Edward Whitmont. Este referencial teórico permitiu analisar o arquétipo da Grande-Mãe e seu desdobramento na vida dos congadeiros. Assim, os objetivos propostos para o estudo foram alcançados. Espera-se que os resultados encontrados possam contribuir para com os conhecimentos sobre as comunidades afrodescendentes, ampliando a nossa compreensão da sociedade, de educação e de nós mesmos.This study has assumed that all social practice is symbolic, therefore, an educational practice. Its focus of analysis is Nossa Senhora do Rosário\'s reign (Our Lady Rosario\'s reign) - also known as \"Congado\" (folk and religious dance), in Belo Horizonte/MG - that is a demonstration that privilege some groups of people in this city. This demonstration is typical of Afro-Brazilian people and it is very popular and important in the State of Minas Gerais, not only in the capital as well in other cities of the State. Its origin is based on the mythical narrative concerning the Saint Rosario and represents the conception of the Saint\'s devout. It means that Nossa Senhora do Rosário\'s devout (the sons of rosary) define not only their beliefs as well their modus vivendi through that narrative. This study calls in questions some considerations such as: Which images are present in the myth of Nossa Senhora do Rosário? How do these images consist the modus vivendi for all those people who follow Maria\'s rosary? How do these images become real or concrete in the devout\'s minds? How do the educational processes happen in the construction of this conception? Then, this study mainly aims to analyze the mythical images of that reign, investigating the modulations occurred in the conception, the myth and the celebration related to their educational processes. For that, the paradigm of complexity was chosen as an epistemological basis and inside it, the theories involving imaginary anthropology, profound psychology and the celebration. Besides, this study was based on preliminary studies of several authors, such as: Edgar Morin, Joseph Campbell, Gaston Bachelard, Gilbert Durand, Jean Duvignaud, Eerich Neumann and Edward Whitmong. These theoretical references allowed to analyze the archetype of Grande-Mãe (Our Great Lady) and its influence in the \"congadeiros\" (conga dancers)\' life. Then, the proposed objectives for this study were successful. The found results are expected to contribute to the knowledge about afro-descendant communities, enlarging our comprehension about society and education and even about ourselves.

This research aims to analyze the discourse of gender horoscope on different media, especially in women's magazines, noting the marks of change and permanence socio-historical and discursive sustained over time. The investigation will be made from the genre published in magazines, especially in facing the female audience in almanacs and Internet. To achieve this scope, we launched a analytical look on our subject from theoretical alliances, which are: a Discourse Theory of Traditions and Linguistic Change, Theory of the Imaginary, the theory of discourse analysis and cultural studies, from of theoretical studies as Eugenio Coseriu, Johannes Kabatek, Gilbert Durand, Mircea Eliade, CarlJung, Michel Foucault, Michel Pecheux, Eni Orlandi, Stuart Hall, Zygmunt Bauman, among others, seeking thereby to account for the discursive constructions, imagistic, symbolic and mythical traditions that relate to that underlie gender horoscope as well as the update of this discourse in other genres. Regarding methodological aspects, it is a qualitative research, literature and exploratory, aiming to provide greater awareness of the problem in order to make it explicit. From the analysis we can see that the discourse is marked by horoscope-discursive traditions imagery from the recurrence of linguistic and extralinguistic elements. It also apeared that the discourse of contemporary gender horoscope in magazines is eminently feminine.
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o discurso do gênero horóscopo em diferentes suportes, em especial, em revistas femininas, atentando para as marcas de mudança e de permanência sócio-histórico-discursivas sofridas ao longo do tempo. A investigação foi feita a partir do gênero publicado em revistas, principalmente nas voltadas para o público feminino, em almanaques e Internet. Para alcançar tal escopo, lançamos um olhar analítico sobre nosso objeto de estudo a partir de alianças teóricas, quais sejam: a Teoria das Tradições Discursivas e Mudanças Linguísticas, a Teoria do Imaginário, a Teoria da Análise do Discurso e os estudos culturais, a partir dos estudos de teóricos como Eugenio Coseriu, Johannes Kabatek, Gilbert Durand, Mircea Eliade, Carl Jung, Michel Foucault, Michel Pêcheux, Eni Orlandi, Stuart Hall, Zygmunt Bauman, entre outros, procurando, com isso, dar conta das construções sociais, históricas, discursivas, imagéticas, simbólicas e míticas que dizem respeito às tradições que dão base ao gênero horóscopo, bem como a atualização desse discurso em outros gêneros discursivos. Quanto aos aspectos metodológicos, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, bibliográfica e exploratória, visando proporcionar maior familiaridade com o problema a fim de torná-lo explícito. A partir das análises, conseguimos observar que o discurso do horóscopo é marcado por tradições imagético-discursivas, com base na recorrência de elementos linguísticos e extralinguísticos. Também foi possível constatar que o discurso do gênero horóscopo nas revistas contemporâneas é eminentemente feminino.

Previous issue date: 2009-04-29The object of this thesis is the Guilherme de Almeida`s love poetry, which shows universal elements whose basis is archetypical and mythological. It still has the intention of contributing to the poet`s critical fortune, which has been contemplated insufficiently until now. In his poems, the woman is not represented physically, but is changed into a constant fleeting image, which is confounded with the own concept of love or feminine principle. It is chosen to exalt the love from the past or from the future, and the woman from the present is sung in her abstraction. By meeting these images, the androgyny myth shows a welcoming answer. This myth, unlike the imaginary distant idea that it has about, is very modern and involves a psychological reality behind the whole love search, apart from meaning a cosmic fullness condition metaphor in which the opposites are confounded. Other myths based on the androgyny figure are also contemplated. The relationship between the poetic corpus and the androgyny myth is made by the comparison and the similarity of their images, apart from analyses and deductions. For that relationship, especially Mircea Eliade contributes, among others, to his ideas about the reproduction of images, according to Images and Symbols (1991). The search for the love fullness, to which the myth refers to, occurs, therefore, in the poetic textual body, in which the woman is sublimated and represents the own lost self for good. As a consequence, the search for this fullness experience also has an initiatory and spiritual nature. It seeks to identify the concept of love in its poetry through the comparison with other similar concepts, such as the passion love, the sublime love, and the erotic love. It still develops an introductory study of Guilherme de Almeida`s work in general focusing on its literary characteristics and its qualities according to the criticism, highlighting the question of the engagement with the sublime universal aspect, as well as pointing out especially the symbolist tones of his poetry that, returned to ethereal fleeting spiritual images, keep an intimate relationship to his love poems and to the subject of his thesis
O objeto dessa dissertação é a poesia de temática amorosa de Guilherme de Almeida, que apresenta elementos universais de fundo arquetípico-mitológico. Tem, ainda, intenção de contribuir para a fortuna crítica do poeta, contemplada de modo insuficiente até o momento. Em seus poemas, a mulher não é representada fisicamente, mas transformada em imagem sempre fugidia, na qual se confunde com o próprio conceito de amor ou princípio feminino. Prefere-se enaltecer o amor do passado ou do futuro, e a mulher do presente é cantada em sua abstração. Ao encontro dessas imagens, o mito do andrógino se apresenta como resposta acolhedora. Esse mito, ao contrário da idéia fantasiosa e distante que se tem a respeito, é atualíssimo, e implica uma realidade psicológica por trás de toda busca amorosa, além de significar uma metáfora da condição de plenitude cósmica, onde os opostos se confundem. Outros mitos de fundo andrógino também são contemplados. A relação do corpus poético com o mito do andrógino se faz pela comparação e semelhança de suas imagens, além de análises e deduções. Para tal relação, contribui, sobretudo, Mircea Eliade, entre outros, com suas idéias sobre reprodução de imagens, conforme o livro Imagens e símbolos (1991). A busca da plenitude amorosa, a que alude o mito, ocorre, portanto, no corpo textual poético, onde a mulher é sublimada e representa o próprio eu perdido para sempre. Como desdobramento, essa experiência da busca de plenitude também tem caráter iniciático e espiritual. Procura-se identificar o conceito de amor em sua poética, a partir da comparação com outros conceitos semelhantes, como o amor-paixão, o amor sublime e o amor erótico. Faz-se, ainda, um estudo introdutório da obra em geral de Guilherme de Almeida, com ênfase em suas características literárias e suas qualidades conforme a crítica, ressaltando-se a questão do engajamento com o aspecto sublime e universal, além de se destacar, especialmente, os tons simbolistas de sua poesia, que, voltados para imagens etéreas, fugidias e espirituais, guardam estreita relação com seus poemas de temática amorosa e com o tema da dissertação

El estudio identifica tres grandes epifanías míticas en la obra de Chaplin –el Charlot burlesco, el Charlot angélico y Monsieur Verdoux– que revelan la dinámica interna coherente de su imaginario, a la vez que iluminan de diferentes maneras la esencia arquetípica del género cómico. Demostramos, por un lado, cómo el himno homérico a Hermes se configura como el relato que funda la comedia en la cultura occidental y, por otro, cómo el cine de Chaplin se erige como su más grande epifanía.This thesis examines the archetypical origins of comedy through the character The Tramp and intends to design and structure the mythical imaginary of Charles Chaplin’s cinema from the Child archetype. The study identifies three main mythical epiphanies in the work of Chaplin – the burlesque Tramp, the angelic Tramp and Monsieur Verdoux – that unveil the coherent internal dynamics of its imaginary, while they enlighten in different ways the archetypical essence of the comic genre. Firstly, it is demonstrated how the Homeric Hymn to Hermes sets the ground for comedy storytelling in Western culture, and secondly, how Chaplin’s cinema stands as its greatest epiphany.

Previous issue date: 2005-02-28Genesis 3 will be approached here as a Hebrew myth and will serve as a case study in which we seek to show that psychoanalysis offers a different view in the understanding of the polysemy that exists in myths. According to anthropology and psychology, myths carry the human archetypes. These are couched in symbolic language and open up the polysemy of the myths. In the myth of Genesis 3, sin and the fall are significants resultant from a monosemic hermeneutic that has dogmatically legitimated the existence of the priest and of the church. The symbolic element of the serpent representative of a divinity competes with the divinity Yahweh through a transgressive project which is victorious and liberates the human beings to go beyond the garden. It is outside of this logic that the first sexual relationship between Adam and Eve occurs. In this way they have the pleasure of completing each other and becoming creative Gods. In a new focus derived from a polissemic reading, Eve s transgression can supply the archetypal energy necessary for a prophetic vocation awakening the heroic self that exists in all mankind. It is in the interval between great powers that the human being exercises freedom and makes himself divine.
Gênesis 3 será tomado, aqui, como um mito hebraico que servirá para uma análise de caso, onde se busca comprovar que a psicanálise tem um olhar diferenciado para entender a polissemia existente nos mitos. Os mitos, segundo o que é aceito pela antropologia e psicologia, carregam consigo os arquétipos humanos, que, configurados por uma linguagem simbólica, abrem a sua polissemia. No mito de Gênesis 3, pecado e queda são significados resultantes de uma hermenêutica monossêmica, que tem legitimado dogmaticamente a existência do sacerdote e da Igreja que o sustenta. O elemento simbólico serpente , representativo de uma divindade, compete com a divindade Iahweh, através de um projeto transgressor, que, vitorioso, liberta os seres humanos para além do jardim. É fora desta lógica que ocorre a primeira relação sexual entre Adão e Eva, que assim degustam o prazer de se completarem, tornando-se assim também Deuses criadores. A transgressão, novo foco de sentido encontrado pela leitura polissêmica, pode fornecer a energia arquetípica necessária para a vocação profética, e para despertar o ser heróico que habita em todos os humanos. É no intervalo entre os grandes poderes que o ser humano exercita a liberdade e diviniza o seu ser.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to examine the relationship between feelings and visualizations of climate change. A case study was done on visualizations of climate change from a web page concerning climate change published by the Swedish newspaper Expressen and from the American photographer Gary Braasch’s web page “World view of global warming”. The thesis is based on the article ”Emotional anchoring and objectification in the media reporting on climate change” by Birgitta Höijer. I have been aiming to understand the feelings of fear, hope, guilt, compassion and nostalgia through semiotic theories of icon, index and symbol.
Previous research has proven the difficulties in bringing the issue of climate change up on the public agenda – which is connected to the difficulties of visualizing climate change. The nature of climate change being slow and hard to spot on an individual level has been highlighted as a cause of both of these difficulties. Pictures and photos have in this thesis been seen as the “interface” between science and the public – and hence decoders of the science of climate change. Höijer’s article about feelings has been used to understand this process of decoding.
The results show that the analyzed material could be linked to and described by the semiotic theories of icon, index and symbol. The emotional anchoring found in the material and the semiotic application have been shown to work complementarily with each other, leading to a broader understanding of the material’s relationship to social cognitions. The results further demonstrated that context is essential in some of the analyzed visualizations of climate change. Generic pictures found in the material could have been regarded as icon, index or symbol of other messages – but is through its contexts anchored with feelings, and becomes visualizations of climate change. The analysis also suggests that if icons of nature could be connected with feelings – so could nature itself. The consequences are speculated to lead to objectification of nature and ecophobia. By objectifying nature and using generic pictures, the material’s relationship to the concepts of “truth” and “myth” is questioned.
In conclusion, understanding of the analyzed material is advantageously achieved through complementary use of Höijers emotional categories and the semiotic theories of icon, index and symbol.

No presente trabalho apresenta-se um estudo da História das Religiões de Mircea Eliade realizado sobre três aspectos desta obra: os aspectos epistemológico, metodológico e categorial. Na primeira parte do trabalho, postula-se que a História das Religiões eliadiana se trata de uma disciplina autônoma e integral, com objeto próprio de estudo – o fenômeno religioso considerado no seu plano específico de referência, o plano religioso – e com método próprio de trabalho – um método histórico-fenomenológicohermenêutico unitário –; que tal disciplina gira em torno de dois eixos – a fenomenologia da religião stricto sensu e a história das religiões; que, no seu todo, a História das Religiões eliadiana tem o estatuto de uma fenomenologia existencial da religião, situando-se no âmbito da Filosofia. Na segunda parte deste trabalho discorre-se sobre o método apenas implícito na obra eliadiana, o qual leva em conta o aspecto histórico do fenômeno religioso e o qual conjuga fenomenologia e hermenêutica, desenvolvendo-se em dois planos: o primeiro plano é o da análise fenomenológicodescritiva do fenômeno religioso realizada no campo da fenomenologia da religião stricto sensu, no qual o autor romeno conforma sua morfologia do sagrado; o segundo plano é o da análise hermenêutico-filosófica dos fenômenos religiosos históricos, no qual o citado autor procede à interpretação dos fenômenos religiosos historicamente acontecidos para a elaboração de sua história das religiões; Eliade utiliza ainda a análise hermenêutico-filosófica dos simbolismos religiosos para a realização de uma hermenêutica filosófica dos símbolos religiosos por meio da qual formula juízos normativos sobre a condição humana. Na terceira parte deste trabalho, realiza-se um estudo das principais categorias do pensamento eliadiano com ênfase para a hierofania, a dialética da hierofania, a dialética do sagrado e do profano, o sagrado, a religião, a experiência religiosa, o espaço sagrado, tempo e história, o homo religiosus, o homem ocidental moderno a-religioso, o arquétipo, o arquétipo da coincidentia oppositorum, imagens e símbolos, a a-historicidade da vida religiosa, o símbolo religioso, o simbolismo religioso, o mito, o rito, a camuflagem e a ocultação do sagrado no profano, a irreconhecibilidade do sagrado na História (ou a irreconhecibilidade do milagre) e o sagrado no mundo ocidental secularizado.
In this thesis a study of Mircea Eliade’s History of Religions is presented carried through on three different approaches: the epistemological approach, the methodological approach and the categorical approach. In the first Chapter of this thesis, it is claimed that Eliade’s History of Religions constitutes an autonomous and integral discipline, with proper object of study – the religious phenomenon in its specific plan of reference, the religious plan - and with proper method of work – a unitary historical-phenomenological-hermeneutic method -; that such discipline turns around two axles – the phenomenology of religion stricto sensu and the history of religions -; that, in its all, the eliadian History of Religions has the statute of an existential phenomenology of religion placing itself in the branch of Philosophy. In the second Chapter of this thesis, it is discoursed on the only implicit method in the eliadian workmanship, which takes in account the historical aspect of the religious phenomenon and which conjugates phenomenology and hermeneutics, developing itself in two plans: the first plan is that of the phenomenological-descriptive analysis of the religious phenomenon carried through on the field of the phenomenology of religion stricto sensu, in which the Rumanian author conforms his morphology of the Sacred; the second plan is that of the hermeneutic-philosophical analysis of the historical religious phenomena in which the cited author proceeds to the interpretation of the religious phenomena historically happened for the elaboration of his history of religions; Eliade also use the hermeneutic-philosophical analysis of the religious symbolisms for the accomplishment of a philosophical hermeneutics of the religious symbols by means of which he formulates normative judgments on the human being condition. In the third Chapter of this work, a study of the main categories of the eliadian thought is developed with emphasis for the hierophany, the dialectic of the hierophany, the dialectic of the Sacred and the Profane, the Sacred, the religion, the religious experience, the sacred space, time and history, homo religiosus, the modern Occidental man of the secularized societies, the archetype, the archetype of coincidentia oppositorum, images and symbols, the non-historicity of the of religious life, the religious symbol, the religious symbolism, the Myth, the Rite, the Camouflage and the Occultation of the Sacred in the Profane, the unrecognizableness of the Sacred in History (or the unrecognizableness of miracle), and the Sacred in the modern secularized Occidental world.
