Alexithymia And The Defense Of Primal Repression
1,197 wordsPrimal Repression may well account for the psychic structural defect and many of the clinical features associated with the alexithymia construct. [James D. A. Parker and Graeme J. Taylor in Disorders of Affect Regulation p. 89 ] Repression proper is a defensive process that evolves out of primal repression, and involves a rejection from the conscious mind of already formed instinctual wishes and other representations. Primal repression, on the other hand, is akin to [an] idea of Freud's viz. , h...

Gender In Horror Films Carrie Alien And Amityville

Representations Of The Black Male In Film
1,182 wordsA systematic exclusion of black people from the production, distribution, and exhibition of film exists in Hollywood. This "system" is white America's continuing subversion of a whole race that has existed since the first slave was dragged from African soil and put to work on an American plantation. In these "politically correct" times the system is not an overt racist activity. Rather, it is more of a hidden political agenda that does not appear to exist when looked for. But the system operates...

Camera Obscura Human Psychology
1,276 wordsHow do representations of space affect our relationship to a place? To answer this question, we should perhaps ask ourselves an equally important question: how can we probe nature to learn about it without changing it. By analyzing this question using six main representational themes cartographic, political, Cartesian perspectivalism, optical, transcendental, and biological we will answer the original question. I believe that there are no representations of space that would not in some way affec...

Social Systems Physical Strength
2,652 wordsWater Science Luhmann's theory of autopoietic systems appears to be described as politically reactionary. It happens in the strength of fact that it negates any possibility of social change. It might be a proof though for Luhmann's theory that this very critique made him a famous and influential thinker. While Luhmann was a sociologist indeed, it appears to me that also the non-Luhmannian attempts to employ systems theory as a literary theory always boiled down to sociology. Systems theory helps...

This is because if you look at the string of bits (zeros and ones) there is no indicator whether or not this value is positive or negative. You must use an additional symbol + or - to indicate the sign of the number. There are some types of number systems where you can determine the sign of number without using an addition symbol. You can tell whether it is positive or ne...

2,302 wordsSam Vaknins Psychology, Philosophy, Economics and Foreign Affairs Web Sites A classical point of departure in defining Death, seems to be Life itself. Death is perceived either as a cessation of Life or as a transit zone, on the way to a continuation of Life by other means. While the former presents a disjunction, the latter is a continuum, Death being nothing but a corridor into another plane of existence (the hereafter). Another, logically more rigorous approach, would be to ask Who is Dead wh...

Much of Ishmael's experiences while on land and at sea deal with making moral judgements; the act of forming an opinion by discerning what is right and wrong. Melville uses Ishmael to prove...
