This paper represents an archetypal and deconstructive reading of the work of Wolfgang Giegerich. In an attempt to extend and philosophically develop Jung's late‐life view of the objective psyche, ...Giegerich, via Hegel, defines psychology proper as fundamentally separate from the everyday person and the ‘human, all‐too‐human’ aspects of the soul. It is argued that, in so doing, Giegerich removes the human person from being the primary focus of his psychology and creates instead a hierarchy of ideas and values privileging syntax over semantics, the logical over the empirical, and thinking over imagination. This bypasses the emotionality of the everyday person/patient and also renders psychology proper unable to address the day‐to‐day practice of the analyst. Giegerich attempts to rectify this problem by re‐incorporating what he had previously rejected, making his theory more complex than is apparent in his binary oppositions. In the end, however, it remains a question to what extent Giegerich is successful in avoiding a binary scission (Saban 2015) or a tendency to regularly de‐emphasize the human aspect of the soul (Hoedl 2015) in his need to continue to heroically push off from the ego seeking total freedom from neurosis and from our humanity.

Cet article est une lecture archétypale et déconstructive du travail de Wolfgang Giegerich. Dans sa tentative d'étendre et de développer philosophiquement la vision élaborée tardivement par Jung d'une psyche objective, Giegerich, s'appuyant sur Hegel, définit la psychologie à proprement parler, qui serait fondamentalement séparée de la personne ordinaire et des aspects « humains, rien qu'humains » de l'âme. Il est montré qu'en faisant cela, Giegerich retire la personne humaine du centre de sa psychologie créant à la place une hiérarchie d'idées et de valeurs qui privilégie la syntaxe plutôt que la sémantique, le logique plutôt que l'empirique, la pensée plutôt que l'imagination. Ceci court‐circuite l'affectivité de la personne ordinaire/du patient et rend la psychologie à proprement parler incapable de rendre compte de la pratique au quotidien de l'analyste. Giegerich tente de rectifier ce problème en réincorporant ce qu'il avait rejeté, rendant sa théorie plus complexe qu'il y apparait si l'on s'en tient à ses oppositions binaires. En fin de compte, néanmoins, la question reste ouverte de savoir si Giegerich parvient ou non à éviter une division binaire (Saban 2015) ou une tendance à minimiser régulièrement l'aspect humain de l'âme (Hoedl 2015) de par son besoin de toujours s'éloigner héroïquement de l'égo en recherchant à se libérer totalement de la névrose et de ce qui fait notre humanité.
Dieses Papier stellt eine archetypische und dekonstruktivistische Lektüre des Werkes von Wolfgang Giegerich dar. In einem Versuch, Jungs späte Auffassung der objektiven Psyche zu erweitern und philosophisch zu entwickeln, definiert Giegerich, über Hegel kommend, die wirkliche Psychologie als grundsätzlich getrennt vom Alltagsmenschen und den ‘menschlichen, allzu menschlichen’ Aspekten der Seele. Es wird die Behauptung aufgestellt, daß Giegerich dadurch die menschliche Person aus ihrer Position als primärem Fokus seiner Psychologie entfernt und stattdessen eine Hierarchie der Ideen und Werte schafft, privilegierend Syntax gegenüber Semantik, das Logische gegenüber dem Empirischen und das Denken gegenüber der Phantasie. Dies umgeht die Emotionalität des Alltagsmenschen / Patienten und setzt die wirkliche Psychologie außer Stande, der tagtäglichen Praxis des Analytikers gerecht zu werden. Giegerich versucht, dieses Problem durch erneute Einbeziehung dessen, was er zuvor abgelehnt hatte, zu korrigieren, wodurch er seine Theorie komplexer gestaltet als diese in seinen binären Oppositionen erscheint. Am Ende jedoch bleibt die Frage, in welchem Umfang Giegerich erfolgreich ist bei der Vermeidung einer binären Spaltung (Saban 2015) oder einer Tendenz, regelmäßig den menschlichen Aspekt der Seele unterzubetonen (Hoedl 2015) in seinem Bestreben, sich weiterhin heldenhaft von der egosuchenden totalen Freiheit, von der Neurose und unserer Menschlichkeit abzustoßen.
Questo articolo è una lettura archetipica e decostruttiva dell'opera di Wolfgang Giegerich. Nel tentativo di estender sviluppare filosoficamente la visione della psiche oggettiva elaborata da Jung in tarda età, Giegerich, attraverso Hegel, definisce la psicologia in sé come fondamentalmente distinta dalla persona empirica e dagli aspetti “umani, troppo umani” dell'anima. Nell'articolo si evidenzia come, nel far ciò, Giegerich rimuova la persona umana dal suo essere il fuoco della sua stessa psicologia e crei, al suo posto, una gerarchia di idee e valori che privilegiano la sintassi rispetto alla semantica, il logico rispetto all'empirico e il pensiero rispetto all'immaginazione. Ciò aggirerebbe la persona ed il paziente empirico e renderebbe la psicologia in sé incapace di affrontare la pratica quotidiana dell'analista. Giegerich tenta di rettificare questo problema reincorporando ciò che aveva rigettato in precedenza e rendendo la sua teoria più complessa rispetto al suo evidente carattere oppositivo binario. Alla fine, tuttavia, restano aperte le questioni su fino a che punto Giegerich ‐ nel suo bisogno di allontanarsi eroicamente dall'Io alla ricerca di una libertà assoluta dalla nevrosi e dall'umanità – sia effettivamente in grado di evitare una scissione binaria (Saban 2015), o una tendenza a de‐enfatizzare le caratteristiche dell'anima umana (Hoedl 2015).
Эта статья представляет на рассмотрение архетипическое и деконструктивное прочтение работ Вольфганга Гигериха. В попытке расширить и философски углубить поздние взгляды Юнга на объективную психику Гигерих, посредством Гегеля, определяет собственно психологию как фундаментально отличную от повседневной личности и «человеческих, слишком человеческих» аспектов души. Доказывается, что, делая это, Гигерих убирает человеческую личность из фокуса своей психологии и вместо этого создает иерархию идей и ценностей, отдающих предпочтение синтаксису в противовес семантике и логическому в противовес эмпирическому, а также мышлению над воображением. Такая установка обходит стороной эмоциональность повседневной личности человека/пациента, равно как и делает собственно психологию неспособной обратиться к каждодневной практике аналитика. Гигерих пытается выправить эту проблему, вновь включая в психологию то, что он ранее отвергал, делая тем самым свою теорию еще более сложной, чем это видно в его бинарных оппозициях. В конце концов, однако, остается вопросом, до какой степени Гигерих преуспел в избегании бинарного разделения (Сабан 2015) или тенденции к регулярному де‐сопереживанию человеческим аспектам души (Хёдль 2015) в своей потребности продолжать героически отталкиваться от эго в поисках тотальной свободы от невроза и от нашей человечности.
Este ensayo presenta una lectura arquetipal y deconstructiva del trabajo de Wofgang Giegerich. Con la intención de expandir y desarrollar filosóficamente la perspectiva sobre la psique objetiva, que Jung tuvo sobre el final de su obra, Giegerich, vía Hegel, define correctamente a la psicología como fundamentalmente separada de la persona cotidiana y de los aspectos “humanos, demasiado‐humanos” del alma. Se argumenta que al hacer esto, Giegerich quita a la persona humana como foco principal de su psicología y crea una jerarquía de ideas y valores que privilegian la sintaxis por sobre la semántica, la lógica por sobre lo empírico, y el pensamiento por sobre la imaginación. Esto ignora los afectos de la persona/paciente en su cotidianeidad y también deja a la psicología como incapaz de ocuparse de la práctica cotidiana del analista. La intención de Giegerich de rectificar este problema, reincorporando lo que previamente él había rechazado, vuelve su teoría más compleja de lo que aparenta en sus oposiciones binarias. Sin embargo, la pregunta permanece respecto de hasta cuánto Giegerich ha tenido éxito en, evitar una escisión binaria (Saban 2015) o una tendencia hacia des‐enfatizar regularmente el aspecto humano del alma (Hoedl 2015) en su necesidad de continuar desprendiéndose heroicamente del ego, buscando liberarse totalmente de la neurosis y de nuestra humanidad.
本文叙述了对沃福冈‐吉格里希作品的原型和解构性的解读。为了扩展以及在哲学层面上发展荣格晚期关于心理客观性的观点,吉格里希(通过黑格尔),为心理学之恰当作出了定义,把它从根本上与那些日常层面的,以及在“人之太过于人性”层面的个体灵魂层面区别开来。有人主张,通过这样的定义,吉格里希不再把人作为其心理学的首要关注,取而代之的是他所创造的具有层级解构的观点和一种价值取向,它把语法的价值凌驾于语义之上,逻辑凌驾于经验,思考凌驾于想象。这回避了个体/病人日常的情感,并致使心理学恰当性无法适用于心理分析师的日常实践。吉格里希尝试把他之前所排斥的内容重新进行整合,以修复这个问题,这让他二元对立的理论变得更加复杂。最后,不管怎样,仍需要质疑的是,在吉格里希持续英雄式的推离自我,寻求远离神经症以及获取人性的彻底自由的过程中,他在多大程度上成功地避免了二元分裂(Saban 2015),以及避免习惯性地对灵魂方面的忽视的倾向(Hoedl 2015)。
Karl Heinz Bohrer’s Ein bißchen Lust am Untergang: englische Ansichten is a collection of essays on England originally published in the German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) and in the ...monthly Merkur between 1968 and 1981. This article explores these and subsequent essays by Bohrer. At the heart of Ein bißchen Lust am Untergang is the concept of decadence as a positive – or at least ambivalent – concept: it is ‘the highly stylized capacity for enjoyment after so much imperial exertion’. Marx described England as the ‘demiurge of the bourgeois cosmos’, and for Bohrer even in decline the country remains the avant-garde of the Western world, in contrast to hard-working, but un-decadent Germany. The Falklands War (1982) marked the end of this specifically English form of ‘enjoyment in decline’. More recent reflections on British, German and European politics reveal tensions and inconsistencies in Bohrer’s characterization of decadence. In reconstructing Bohrer’s work a number of concepts alongside decadence are discussed: the agonal; political aesthetics; closed form; and nostalgic modernism.
: The cranial remains of a new Lower Miocene anguimorph, Merkurosaurus ornatus gen. et sp. nov., are described from north‐west Bohemia (Czech Republic). The animal is morphologically very similar to ...the Recent Shinisaurus crocodilurus, but it differs in several ways. The distinctive features of Merkurosaurus are: the nasal process of premaxilla is long and slender with a bilaterally constricted shaft and bilaterally broadened dorsal portion; the dorsal portion of the nasal process divides into three processes of which the median one is the longest; the ornamented surface of the parietal is subdivided into five pustule‐like mounds on both right and left sides, with one further mound around the posterior and lateral margins of the parietal foramen. A close phylogenetic affinity to the anguimorph genera Shinisaurus, Bahndwivici, Dalinghosaurus and Carusia, and partially to Xenosaurus, is indicated by characters such as: frontal fused with deep cristae cranii; lateral border of frontals strongly constricted between orbits; double interorbital row of large mounds diverge posteriorly along orbital margin; sculptured postorbital ramus of jugal; small mounds on frontal and parietal with ornamented vermiculate structures; and parietal foramen within parietal but close to anterior margin. Merkurosaurus is the only taxon of this affinity known from the Cenozoic of Eurasia.
Implementation of e-business at the supply chain (SC) level can bring several benefits to all companies involved. Technological changes are important for effective supply chain management (SCM). ...However, the main cause of SCM improvements are organizational changes and an integration of business processes that lead to more mature processes in all involved companies and at the supply chain level. In the paper it is analysed how SC efficiency is related to business-process orientation (BPO) which is measured by SCM maturity level. On one side higher level of BPO is a prerequisite for significant changes, integration, and efficiency improvements of SC business processes. On the other side process changes are enablers for higher SC process maturity. The conceptual model of these relationships is analysed through a case study of supply chain of a large wholesale company Merkur. Efficiency of SC processes was evaluated by using simulation modelling at three different points in time: past, present, and future. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
Christoph Martin Wieland's German journal Der Teutsche Merkur ran over fifty articles mentioning North America. The attitudes expressed in the articles were complex and changed dramatically. In the ...mid‐1770s most were impartial – or even mildly favourable – but by the early nineteenth century many were harshly disparaging. This essay examines the evidence of this striking contrast, evidence that may be explained in Rousseauian terms. The essay thus shows that Der Teutsche Merkur yields a trove of information on eighteenth‐century German attitudes towards the American Revolution and the fledgling United States.
This article addresses the ghettoization of biblical interpretation that has accompanied the rise of poststructuralism, postcolonialism, and liberation theologies with their corresponding emphases on ...subjectivity and self-determination. The first section takes stock of the current state of the field, focusing on the gap between academic and vernacular approaches to biblical interpretation and briefly reviewing current attempts to bridge this gap. The second and third sections introduce Edward W. Said's contrapuntal reading as a basis on which to build an integrative approach to overcoming this gap. The fourth section undertakes a contrapuntal reading on the theme of suffering in the book of Job from the dual perspectives of a North American psychoanalytical interpretation and a South African HIV-positive interpretation. The contrapuntal dialogue between these interpretations also takes into account the role of the process of dialogue itself as a voice in the contrapuntal conversation. The fifth section argues that such a conversation is not only possible but also necessary for the continuing growth of justice in the field of biblical interpretation. The article closes with an argument for the importance of the contrapuntal metaphor in overcoming an unjust disciplinary hierarchy and in promoting integration in the interests of justice in biblical interpretation.
