•Public relations negotiate professional and individual practitioner identity.•Goffman observes ‘microsociology’ of identity formation as performance.•Jung claims outward identity can marginalise ...inner needs.•Such needs form hidden ‘underbelly’ or ‘backstage’ of identity.•Together, they offer insights into PR's individual and collective identity.
Public relations work involves shaping, reflecting and communicating identity for organisations and individuals, and is in turn shaped by the professional identity both of the field and individual public relations practitioners. This paper explores these issues from the dual perspectives of sociologist Erving Goffman's (1922–1982) reflections on the performance of work and Carl Jung's (1875–1961) concept of Persona, the socially acceptable face of the individual or group. The former explores these issues through observation of external behaviours, the latter by engaging with the psyche. Goffman and Jung, despite their conflicting worldviews, offer a complementary understanding of the operation, internal and external, of professional identity.
The paper, which is conceptual and interpretive, with the objective of building theory, summarises contemporary approaches to professional identity in public relations and other fields, before introducing Goffman, who is often mentioned in this context, and Jung, who is not. Together these two scholars offer insights into the interior and exterior aspects of identity, which is here applied to public relations, raising questions both about the production of identity as a commodity for others and the production of self-image of public relations practitioners. The introduction of Jungian thinking brings the inward or experiential dimension of professional identity to this debate.
Many studies have shown that the appearance of products has a great impact on consumers. In addition to functionality, aesthetics is of paramount importance in many branches of product design. Visual ...appearance includes, among other things, the colour, shape, and pattern of the product. The effect of shapes and colours is often studied, but not much data are available on the emotional impact of patterns. This study specifically examines the impact of geometric patterns, which may be of help in the work of product designers. Interviews and questionnaires based on a newly introduced method revealed, for instance, that the basic geometry that makes up geometric patterns and the way the pattern is arranged fundamentally influence the effect of the pattern on consumers.
‘To navigate against the current, these rare qualities are needed: a spirit of adventure, courage, perseverance and passion’ – Nise da Silveira In a time when lobotomies, electroshock and insulin ...therapies were still the norm in Brazilian psychiatry, Nise da Silveira stood out as a singular voice advocating for a kinder and more relational approach to the treatment of people with mental health conditions. Despite working in an arena dominated by men, she fought passionately against the status quo and was instrumental in establishing occupational therapies as a valid treatment in schizophrenia and other chronic psychiatric conditions in Brazil, changing the way in which rehabilitation was viewed and practised in her native land. The museum has remained in operation to this day and now holds over 350 000 works by patients from the 1940s to today. da Silveira went on to establish the Casa das Palmeiras in 1956, a clinic devoted to the rehabilitation of former patients of psychiatric hospitals which eschewed the institutionalisation and restriction of liberty of its attendees.

Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist depicts the protagonist's huni for treasure which is highly symbolic of the spiritual quest for self-realization and self-discovery. Motivated by the recurring dream of a ...hidden treasure and desirous of bringing meaning to his life, Santiago undertakes a journey. This paper contends that his journey towards the realization of his dream actually involves a psychological process of individuation that integrates the contrasting aspects of the human psyche and makes use of the unconscious as conscious. It is an attempt to analyse his physical travels from a psychoanalytic perspective so as to posit that seeking spirituality is more about psychological change than temporal and spatial mobility. This investigation is, in fact, based on the exploration of how Coelho's protagonist completes this process of wholeness and it draws on the theory of individuation presented by Swiss Psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung. By using Jungian Archetypal method of analysis, it can be seen that Santiago is very much influenced by operative archetypes, the acceptance and integration of which has an impact on his spiritual development. The realization that the physical treasure lies exactly where he initiated his journey is the consequence of his selfactualization.

Consagrada entre os mais destacados escritores brasileiros da literatura infantojuvenil, a narrativa de Lygia Bojunga entrelaça a temática social ao conflito psicológico e ao processo de ...amadurecimento das personagens protagonistas. Ou seja, elementos do real servem de base para a fantasia, possibilitando várias formas de leitura das histórias criadas pela escritora. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo traz uma abordagem teórico-analítica, em que o objetivo foi analisar a obra A Casa da Madrinha, de Lygia Bojunga (2015), a partir de uma leitura junguiana. A jornada de Alexandre, personagem central, é desvelada como símbolo do processo de individuação. A Psicologia Analítica de Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) foi utilizada como instrumento de revelação do simbólico, do mitológico da obra da escritora, ou seja, para a interpretação do espaço de fantasia da narrativa e do processo de individuação do personagem protagonista da história. Na literatura de Lygia Bojunga, a imaginação não aparece como fator de alienação do real, mas como processo fundamental de transformação e mobilização da vida, onde o personagem Alexandre, na experiência de seu processo de individuação, foi capaz de ressignificar seus espaços de vida exterior e interior.
Many readers identify the connections between C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces (TWHF) and the analytical psychology of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. Lewis was deeply familiar with Jung's work ...and Jungian concepts are so prominent in the novel that Lewis anticipated his readers would bring the theories to his text. Jung offers a set of tools that assist the reader in understanding Orual's psychic process that culminates with her conversion. TWHF re-imagines the myth of Eros and Psyche with an emphasis on the deepest recesses of Orual's psyche. Jung and Lewis shared the belief that myth is a dwelling-place of deep truth. While Jung analyzed myth in psychological terms, Lewis turned to myth for theological truth. Both Jung's and Lewis' views of myth contribute to a holistic understanding of TWHF as a source of psychological and spiritual truth.
Numerous critical works have dealt with the fiction of William Faulkner. However, little research has been done about his significant work for the screen. Most studies that have dealt with Faulkner’s ...screenplays focus on comparing between the fiction and the screenplays detecting especially how cinematic elements have found their way into the author’s works of literature. Hence, this article explores two of Faulkner’s 1930s screenplays, looking at the narrative structures of the scripts, seeking to find out to what extent they are consistent with the structure of the monomyth, the concept introduced by Joseph Campbell. Moreover, the study depicts the main stages of the monomyth, or the hero’s journey, as it traces the main protagonist’s path from the start of his quest till he reaches the end of his adventure and goes through the main trials he has to experience. By applying Campbell’s theory of the mythological hero’s journey and referring to Carl Jung’s ideas on the process of individuation, the study exhibits the psychological development of the main protagonists through the different phases of the monomyth and presents their final transformation and full growth as a result of the tests they have undertaken throughout the journey.
Women and brains have always been an epicentre of intrigue and controversy delineating that women must use brains in dimensions that have been predestined for them by misogynists. An intelligent ...woman is often marginalized as unfeminine and hoydenish capable of threatening the heteropatriarchy thereby rendering it impotent. Several pioneering works on gender identity and equality began to be written in the eighteen and nineteenth century drawing attention of the intelligentsia as well as the common folk equally, towards this burning issue. Feminist reforms were initiated as a result of the untiring endeavour of writers and critics throughout the world. The first wave of feminism was a signal for the society to revoke the existing patriarchal norms and it was strengthened further by the second and third wave of feminism with formidable writers, activists and revolutionists who fought a long drawn battle to equip women with their share of rights. Women's continued and persistent struggle against patriarchy the world over has led to society's much needed changed perspectives towards women and their intellect. Women have proved the concocted saying "women and brains do not go together" false with their sheer grit and persistent determination. Reverberating similar deliverance, this paper investigates Alice Munro's biography of the renowned first ever female mathematics professor Sophia Kovalevsky in her short story ' Too Much Happiness' with the archetypal lens of Carl Jung. Sophia, the protagonist in the story is a woman with an extraordinary intellect, a mathematician and a novelist with a rare fascinating power to conquer the world. In times when most women are compulsorily confined to the kitchen, she dares it all to make it to the University of Stockholm in Sweden and challenge the myth that a woman has less of an intellect than man. She is aware of the animus in her which is the so called male domain of a women's psyche and represents the logical thinking faculty in a woman. This paper aims at tracing the renowned Swiss psychologist Carl Jung's archetype of the animus in Alice Munro's portrayal of Sophia, to discern her psyche and to analyse and interpret how her animus affects her life and career as an intellectual in the old school patriarchal world.
