individuation in fairy tales marie louise von franz

With a text revised and corrected by the author, this definitive edition of Individuation in Fairy Tales is rich with insights from religion, literature, and myth. Dr. von Franz focuses on the symbolism of the bird motif in six fairy tales of Europe and Asia: "The White Parrot" (Spain), "The Bath Bagerd" (Persia), "Princess Hassan Pasha" (Turkestan), "The Bid Flower Triller" (Iran), "The Nightingale Giser" (Balkans), and "The Bird Wehmus" (Austria). She explores the themes of psychological and spiritual transformation in the varied images of birds, such as the phoenix, the parrot, and the griffin. Special attention is given to the connection between fairy tales and alchemy and to the guidance that fairy tales give to therapeutic work.

Pohádky zobrazují univerzální funkce psýché, ale přitom neobsahují žádný individuální materiál. Primitivní pohádky – na rozdíl od pohádek moderních – obsahují zkušenosti našich předků, které získali při setkání s archetypickým světem. Proto jsou často hrůzyplné a vystupují v nich různé nadpřirozené bytosti. Zároveň ale odrážejí živou psychologickou zkušenost – v osudech pohádkových hrdinů je člověk po staletí v symbolické podobě konfrontován s obtížemi, kterým je v životě vystaven. Předkládaný svazek obsahuje dvě autorčiny klasické práce. V díle Psychologický výklad pohádek jsou na řadě pohádkových příběhů názorně vysvětleny jednotlivé pojmy psychologie C. G. Junga, jež jsou pro pochopení pohádek důležité. Práce Animus a anima v pohádkách se specificky zaměřuje na archetypy, které charakterizují lidskou zkušenost s opačným pohlavím. Těžiště knihy je ve výkladu klasických grimmovských pohádek. K nim Marie-Louise von Franz přistupuje osobitým způsobem, v němž se projevuje nadhled a smysl pro humor. Marie-Louise von Franz (1915–1998) studovala klasickou filologii a již jako mladá se zabývala výkladem pohádek. Zároveň se v osmnácti letech seznámila s C. G. Jungem a začala navštěvovat jeho přednášky. Později k Jungovi nastoupila do výcviku v analytické psychologii. Se slavným psychologem spolupracovala až do jeho smrti v roce 1961. Pomáhala mu především s překlady řeckých a latinských ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Mýty o stvoření je možno považovat za nejdůležitější ze všech mytologických vyprávění, neboť tyto motivy se dotýkají základních otázek a problémů lidského života a dávají odpověď na nejdůležitější otázky lidské existence. Marie-Louise von Franz vykládá příběhy nejrůznějších kultur z psychologického pohledu a na řadě příkladů z analytické praxe ukazuje, jak mýty o stvoření mohou pomoci rozpoznat a podpořit tvořivé procesy v lidské duši. Témata z těchto mýtů se totiž objevují často ve snech či jiném nevědomém materiálu právě tehdy, když se v lidském vědomí "má zrodit či být stvořen nový svět". Tato kniha je určena pro široké publikum čtenářů, je napsaná srozumitelně, a tak jistě zaujme nejen ty, kdo se zajímají o témata hlubinné psychologie a religionistiky, ale i ty, kteří se zajímají o populárně psychologickou literaturu.

Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998), odbornice nejen v oblasti psychologie, ale i klasické filologie, se společně s Jungem od 30. let minulého století zabývala hlubinně psychologickým výkladem pohádek a alchymických spisů, pracovala jako psychoterapeutka a v r. 1956 se stala pedagožkou Institutu C. G. Junga v Küsnachtu u Curychu. Poté, co ji Jung seznámil s dílem Aurora consurgens (řazeného do křesťanské alchymie a její tradicí připisovaného Tomáši Akvinskému), připravila jej k novému vydání, přeložila a okomentovala, přičemž si po podrobné psychologické analýze textu v závěrečné studii položila také v badatelských kruzích hodně diskutovanou otázku ohledně jeho autorství. Třetí díl studie rozdělování a spojování duševních protikladů v alchymii tak charakterizuje hermeneutická práce přibližující současnému člověku symboliku, jejíž pomocí chtěl autor "popsat či zformulovat religiózní prožitek - nebo, psychologicky řečeno - bezprostřední zkušenost nevědomí".

Na hradě, který se dá velmi obtížně nalézt, střeží král tajuplnou zázračnou nádobu, jež udržuje život a poskytuje potravu. Král je nemocný a okolní krajina pustne. Může být vyléčen pouze tehdy, jestliže hrad nalezne znamenitý rytíř a při pohledu na to, co spatří, položí určitou otázku. Takový je jeden z důležitých momentů středověké legendy o svatém grálu a tato kniha představuje její hlubinněpsychologický výklad z pohledu psychologie, kulturních dějin, religionistiky, mytologie a literární vědy. Autorky zkoumají symboliku grálu, jeho vztah k alchymii, křesťanské mystice, keltským mýtům a pohádkám. Přibližují historický vývoj legendy, její propojení s artušovskými příběhy a archetypový význam hledání grálu jako cesty k duchovnímu poznání. Dílo čerpá z psychologických teorií Carla Gustava Junga a odkrývá hlubší významy, které legenda nese pro moderního člověka. Podobně jako ve středověké alchymii se totiž v poetických fantazijních dílech souvisejících se symbolikou grálu odrážejí hluboko uložené, nevědomé duševní procesy, které mají dodnes mimořádný význam, neboť předjímají náboženský problém současnosti.

This new collection of essays by a range of Jungian analysts and scholars seeks to address the concept of individuation in contemporary times, and reflects on its meaning within the 21st century.The concept of individuation is at the core of Analytical Psychology, and can be considered the main legacy of C.G. JungÂ’s body of work. And yet, in the collective culture, Jung seems to be mostly associated with the concepts of archetypes, collective unconscious and psychological types. Opening with a compelling conversation on the topic with Professor Sonu Shamdasani, the authors within this volume will delve into the concept of individuation and explore it in conjunction with clinical processes, synchronicities, the geopolitics of psychology and decolonial reciprocity, traditional healers and the Grail Legend, homosexuality and identity politics, polyamory and co-individuation, and with temporality and mortality.Featuring a wide range of perspectives from an international cast of authors, this volume will be of great interest to Jungian analysts, students and scholars interested in depth psychology and Jungian theory and anyone wanting to learn more about individuation.

A riveting collection of short stories by the French feminist Marie-Louise Gagneur.Much acclaimed amongst her contemporaries and yet all but forgotten today, Marie-Louise Gagneur was a defining voice in French feminism. These stories, translated into English for the first time, critique the restrictions of late nineteenth-century society and explore the ways in which both men and women are hurt by rigid attitudes towards marriage.In An Atonement, the Count de Montbarrey awakes one morning to find his wife dead, leaving him free to marry the woman he really loves. Could the Count have accidentally killed his wife? And how can he atone for his crime? Three Rival Sisters tells the story of the rivalry between Henriette, Renée and Gabrielle as they compete for the affections of one man. But marriage does not necessarily guarantee happiness, as the sisters are about to find out.Steeped in wit, empathy and biting social criticism, and with echoes of Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Kate Chopin, the stories show Gagneur to be worthy of renewed attention.

The fairy tale is arguably one of the most important cultural and social influences on children''s lives. But until the first publication of Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children''s lives – their behavior, values, and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows in this classic work, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. How and why did certain authors try to influence children or social images of children? How were fairy tales shaped by the changes in European society in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries? Zipes examines famous writers of fairy tales such as Charles Perrault, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and L.Frank Baum and considers the extraordinary impact of Walt Disney on the genre as a fairy tale filmmaker.

A long time ago, in the enchanted fairy tale world, there were fairies, evils, devils, and angels. Princess Charming, wicked snow queens and ice maidens, a girl as little as a thumb, and a mermaid from the forest and the hills of the identical fairy world. The classic and timeless novel, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, with their memorable characters, usual themes, fanciful humor, wisdom, and morals, have been enjoyed by adults and children alike. The tales have been transformed into more than one hundred languages and have undergone diverse alterations over the decades. Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales are like splendid jewels, eliciting from us gasps of gratitude and delight. Writing at the core of a Europe-wide revival of national literature, Anderson broke new ground with his fairy tales in two significant ways. He primarily gathered them in the indigenous language, mimicking the language he used to teach them to children loudly. Second, he determined his tales in his own time and land, giving rise to his loving descriptions of the Danish country. In contrast to such sociologists, as the Brothers Grimm, Anderson's tales are premised on reality and often concentrate on the importance of overlooked or small things.

How did sexual relationships work before, in and outside of marriage in the pre-modern era? What problems did contraception and sexually transmitted diseases pose? How did people deal with prostitution and pornography back then? What were the possibilities for same-sex and queer desire and practice? Using numerous examples and sources from across the continent, Sexuality in Premodern Europe shows that even in earlier centuries, sexual life had an elementary significance for the coexistence of couples and communities. It was just as decisive for how individuals saw themselves and others as it was for maintaining the social, economic and political order.Franz X. Eder interestingly emphasises the socio-historical view of sexuality, offering an apt foil for the cultural perspective which is so prevalent in the field. In this book, sexual behaviour is understood and thought about as social practice. From this vantage point, Eder deals with the function of the sexual in upbringing and socialization, its significance for the image of men and women, its role in marriage initiation, and the importance of sexual life for marital relationships and concubinage.Deviant and discriminated sexual forms such as prostitution, pornography and same-sex acts are also addressed throughout.

A long-awaited translation on the philosophical relation between technology, the individual, and milieu of the living From Democritus’s atomism to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, from Aristotle’s reflections on the individual to Husserl’s call for a focused return to things, from the philosophical advent of the Cartesian ego and the Leibnizian monad to Heidegger’s notion of Dasein, the question concerning the constitution of the individual has continued to loom large over the preoccupations of philosophers and scholars of scientific disciplines for thousands of years. Through conceptions in modern scientific areas of research such as thermodynamics, the fabrication of technical objects, gestalt theory, cybernetics, and the dynamic formation at work in the creation of crystals, Gilbert Simondon’s unique multifaceted philosophical and scholarly research will eventually lead to an astounding reevaluation and questioning of the historical methods for posing the very question and notion of the individual. More than fifty years after its original publication in French, this groundbreaking work of philosophical theory is now available in its first complete English language translation.

Long has been the exchange of culture between Scotland and Ireland, leading to some familiar characters cropping up in both countries' mythologies.Nonetheless, Scotland's folklore adds its own flavour to the telling of some well-known Gaelic tales, as well as a variety of stories that are uniquely Scottish. From legends of siege, chivalry and courage like 'Conall Cra Bhuidhe' and 'Black Agnes', to whimsical yarns such as 'The Fairies of Merlin's Crag'; from the frightening stories of 'The Haunted Ships' and 'The Ghosts of Craig-Aulnaic', to tales of animals such as 'The Brown Bear of the Green Glen' - this gorgeous collection of folk and fairy tales captures the essence of Scotland's ancient and vibrant folkloric tradition.
