Edipo rey, de Sófocles, no se hubiera convertido en una tragedia “modélica” si no hubiera gozado de una amplia y reconocida recepción, sobre todo, por parte dos de sus intérpretes más decisivos e influyentes: Aristóteles y Freud. En este artículo analizamos los principales argumentos que ofrece Aristóteles en la Poética: a) la forma más apropiada de reconocimiento; b) el uso del coro; c) la argumentación verosímil; d) la concentración necesaria. Freud descubre en esta tragedia una estructura antropológica del deseo inconsciente de los seres humanos. Por último, expondremos los argumentos filosóficos de Kaufmann: a) la inseguridad radical del ser humano; b) la ceguera; c) la maldición del conocimiento; d) la inevitabilidad de la tragedia; d) el cuestionamiento de la justicia.Oedipus king, by Sophocles, would not have become a “model” tragedy if he had not enjoyed a wide and recognised reception, especially by two of his most decisive and influential interpreters: Aristotle and Freud. In this article we analyze the main arguments that Aristotle offers in the Poetics: a) the most appropriate form of recognition; b) the use of the choir; c) the plausible argumentation; d) the necessary concentration. Freud discovers in this tragedy an anthropological structure of the unconscious desire of the human beings. Finally, we will expose the philosophical arguments of Kaufmann: a) the radical insecurity of the human being; b) blindness; d) the curse of knowledge; d)the inevitability of the tragedy; e) the questioning of justice.

This essay turns a depth-psychological lens upon the drug abuse, sexual manipulation, and murder scenes in the American television rendition of House of Cards. The Underwoods, who are obsessed with power, yet strangely enticing, invite the viewer to upend their moralistic perspective challenging notions of innocence and evil. By applying post-Freudian Lacan’s Phallus theory, the unconscious and persistent desire for power in some individuals is explored. Then, in a move toward understanding why audiences flock to such grotesque imagery, post-Jungian Moore’s notion of dark eros is extended to argue for the necessity of accepting the sadistic aspect of psyche. The notion of libertine consciousness is used to illuminate why the darkness draws us in even as it is repulsive and suggest the cautious, reflective digestion of these grotesque images as a creative action for those challenged by current political darkness. Bringing Lacan and Moore into dialogue, it is suggested that sexually toned darkness may necessarily balance the pull toward light aspects of psyche. Through close reading, intense scenes are reimagined as more than just Jungian shadow material. They also illustrate the sacrifice of innocence required as one attempts to increase consciousness.

ABSTRACTThis paper provides a depth-psychological analysis of the mass visions of the Virgin Mary taking place at Zeitoun, Egypt, during the late 1960s. A review of the literature points to a prevailing socio-political approach to examining visions of the Virgin Mary, while I argue that a satisfactory psychoanalytical approach is generally lacking. The interpretation I propose draws on Jung’s theoretical model inFlying Saucerswith the aim of merging depth-psychology and historical material surrounding the Zeitoun phenomenon. Common themes and symbols are extracted and interpreted from the empirical material and analysed along with Egyptian social and political data. This study concludes with a discussion on how depth-psychological principles grounded in empirical and historical material could be applied in order to explicate cases of mass visions.

Ibsen's play Hedda Gabler is full of psychological implications. It is a play in which Ibsen has dealt with the complexity of romantic relationships. The study relies on Freud's theory of the unconscious involving unconscious motives, repression, fear of intimacy, displacement, anxiety and neurosis. Many young characters in the play try to establish intimate relationships, but they fail in their effort. Most of the characters are suffering from the fear of intimacy. This leads to make an analysis of their unconscious motives and desires. The study finds that most of the characters in this play are controlled by their unconscious desire for having power over the people they want to be intimate with. This is why they fail to establish intimate relations with the important individuals in their life. The study offers an application of Freudian concepts to literature. It also helps in understanding causes for the failure of intimate relationships.

In the province of Pampanga, Philippines, Holy Week is one of the highlighted seasons of the year. Seemingly, during this time, there are a number of flagellants (called ‘Kristos’) who want to be crucified as a form of penitence and supplication. However, after a thorough search of published literature, the researchers found a dearth in the body of knowledge focusing on the experiences of these flagellants. Therefore, this interpretative phenomenological study sought to unearth and interpret the lived experiences of Kapampangan Kristos. Five (5) Kristos voluntarily participated in the individual face-to-face interview using semi-structured questions. Findings revealed that there are three (3) superordinate themes namely: prosaic family life, spiritual drift, and looking back-moving forward reflection. Recommendation for future research undertakings to consider in-depth psychological analysis on the lived experiences of Kristos.
