- Title
- A JUNGIAN JOURNEY TO INDIVIDUATION IN "THE TEMPEST" (SHAKESPEARE).
- Creator
- ZUCKER, SCOTT., Florida Atlantic University, Faraci, Mary
- Abstract/Description
-
The characterizations in The Tempest resemble the archetypes of the collective unconscious and appear to gather their momentum from Shakespeare's understanding of the individuation process. In depicting the unfolding dynamics of psychic change, the playwright anticipates Jung's theory of individuation by showing the compensatory influence these numinous figures have on the characters' conscious orientations as they move from separation to subsequent union. The characters' agitated and...
Show moreThe characterizations in The Tempest resemble the archetypes of the collective unconscious and appear to gather their momentum from Shakespeare's understanding of the individuation process. In depicting the unfolding dynamics of psychic change, the playwright anticipates Jung's theory of individuation by showing the compensatory influence these numinous figures have on the characters' conscious orientations as they move from separation to subsequent union. The characters' agitated and irrational responses to the archetypal manifestations are a reflection of the psychic division characteristic of the individuating mind. Harmony and reason are achieved as the characters heal their division by integrating the conscious contents of their projections. This enlarging of the personality and broadening of collective relationships transform The Tempest into a variation on the quest for individuation offering a psychic stage for the Jungian notions of process and renewal.

- Title
- The bottom of the heart: Emerson, Novalis, and Jung's individuation.
- Creator
- Kreitner, David J., Florida Atlantic University, Hokenson, Jan W.
- Abstract/Description
-
Despite disparities of strategy and style, the fundamental concerns of Emerson's Representative Men and Novalis's Die Lehrlinge zu Sais (The Apprentices at Sais) are almost identical. Both works describe and promote ideals of personal development that are essentially the same, and can be understood in terms of C. G. Jung's concept of individuation. The model of expansion which is celebrated in these two works goes beyond what is usually meant by "self-culture" or "Bildung," in that its...
Show moreDespite disparities of strategy and style, the fundamental concerns of Emerson's Representative Men and Novalis's Die Lehrlinge zu Sais (The Apprentices at Sais) are almost identical. Both works describe and promote ideals of personal development that are essentially the same, and can be understood in terms of C. G. Jung's concept of individuation. The model of expansion which is celebrated in these two works goes beyond what is usually meant by "self-culture" or "Bildung," in that its principle is a dialectic of the conscious and the unconscious psyche, the aim of which is the restoration of equilibrium and a widened sense of personality. A comparison of the programs of Emerson and Novalis underscores the compatibility of their thinking, and enables us to appreciate German and American Romanticism in the context of the evolution of the concept of the unconscious.

- Title
- The sui generis in Charles G. Finney’s The Circus Of Dr. Lao.
- Creator
- White, Adam J., Martin, Thomas L., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of English
- Abstract/Description
-
Charles G. Finney’s 1936 novel The Circus of Dr. Lao was published to enthusiastic reviews, but fell into relative obscurity shortly thereafter. Since its publication, it has been the subject of one peer-reviewed critical essay, a number of reviews, one non-peer-reviewed essay, and a master’s thesis. It was published in a world where the fantastic and unique found only barren desert soil, with no scholarly tradition for the fantastic, nor a widely receptive lay audience for something truly...
Show moreCharles G. Finney’s 1936 novel The Circus of Dr. Lao was published to enthusiastic reviews, but fell into relative obscurity shortly thereafter. Since its publication, it has been the subject of one peer-reviewed critical essay, a number of reviews, one non-peer-reviewed essay, and a master’s thesis. It was published in a world where the fantastic and unique found only barren desert soil, with no scholarly tradition for the fantastic, nor a widely receptive lay audience for something truly unique, or sui generis. The concept of the sui generis, meaning “of its own kind,” provides a useful lens for examining the novel, as Finney develops not only creatures, but people, which are truly of their own kind, borrowing from existing mythologies, traits of humanity, and aspects of nature, recombining them in a singular way which resists classification.
