Doris Lessing was conversant in Jungian psychology, and her novel Briefing for a Descent into Hell includes more Jungian elements than previous critics have identified. In particular, it is likely that she borrowed from Jung’s Memories, Dreams, Reflections when crafting her protagonist Charles Watkins’s descent into madness and return to sanity. This essay argues that the autobiography’s chapter 6, “Confrontation with the Unconscious,” and chapter 10, “Visions”—Jung’s encounter with madness and his near-death experience—provided Lessing with not only a successful nekyia by which to evaluate Watkins’s less successful inner journey but also a series of images that she reworked in the novel. Considered in light of MDR, Briefing conveys a sense of lost potential: Watkins regains his memory but, unlike Jung, forgets his vision of the collective unconscious.

AbstractThis paper offers both a phenomenologically psychological and phenomenologically transcendental account of the constitution of the unconscious. Its phenomenologically psychological portion is published here as Part I, while its phenomenologically transcendental portion will be published in the next volume of this journal as Part II. Part I first clarifies the issues involved in Husserl's differentiation of the respective contents and methodologies of psychological and transcendental phenomenology. On the basis of this clarification I show that, in marked contrast to the prevailing approach to the unconscious in the phenomenological literature, an approach that focuses on the emotive and aesthetic factors (rooted in Freud's theory of repression) in the descriptive account of the constitution of an unconscious, there are cognitive factors (rooted in Jung's theory of apperception) that have yet to be descriptively accounted for by phenomenological psychology. Part I concludes with a phenomenologically psychological account of the role these cognitive factors play in the constitution of an unconscious. Part II will show how Jung's claims regarding a dimension of unconscious contents that lacks genealogical links to consciousness proper, that is, the "collective unconscious, " can be phenomenologically accounted for if (1) Jung's methodological differentiation of empirical and interpretative (hermeneutically phenomenological) approaches to the unconscious is attended to and (2) such attention is guided by the phenomenologically transcendental critique of the emotive and aesthetic limitations of both the Freudian and heretofore Husserlian accounts of the descriptive genesis of something like an unconscious.

The Creation

Creation myths as symbols of psychic processes The thesis which has been taken from the Jungian psychology and which is discussed in this article, is the following: Creation myths represent unconscious and preconscious psychic processes which constitute the origin of the development of the human being's consciousness of the world. This implies that the creation myths don't describe the origin of the cosmos. They refer to psychic processes which accompany the growth of human consciousness out of the unconscious. This growth process is discussed in terms of the Jungian concepts of the collective unconscious, archetypes, consciousness and ego, the personal unconscious and complexes, the persona and the shadow, the self and the individuation process.

Descriptive Method

This study aims to describe the personality dynamics of the characters in the novel Harapan Di Atas Sajadah by Mawar Malka. The theory used is Jungian psychology, namely the theory of the importance of consciousness and the unconscious to form a complete person in relation to experiences and relationships with the Creator. The research method used a qualitative descriptive method. The research data is in the form of quotes through dialogue between characters and stories that describe the dynamics of personality in terms of the principles of interaction, function, and purpose of using psychic energy. The results of the research and discussion show that (1) the dynamics of personality in terms of the principles of interaction consist of the principles of opposition, compensation, and merger. This principle becomes the basis for the dynamics of personality that initially has a bad personality to become better, (2) personality dynamics in terms of the function of using psychic energy, namely the strength of enthusiasm, desire, and will, (3) personality dynamics in terms of the purpose of using psychic energy consisting of progressions and regressions. The personal progression of a character displays two types of personality, namely an extroverted attitude (open) and an introverted attitude (closed). Thus, the dynamics of the character's personality show significant changes. Changes related to social problems and their relationship with the Creator for the better.

Invoking the styling of classic spy stories, this essay provides an account of a commercial aviation emergency landing that blew the agent/author's “cover” as a full participant ethnographer. Using an experimental autoethnographic format, the piece offers an evocative portrayal of a perceived near-death experience and its aftermath, as well as critical commentary on writing autoethnography with a fictionalized framing. In the closing “debrief,” the author sheds her agent persona to describe the process of writing about traumatic events and to analyze how those events focus attention on methodological and ethical considerations for qualitative research.

Near Death Experience

Some people consider death events to be the ending part of life, so they regard death as a frightening event. This study aims to describe the near-death experience of the Javanese elderly in Rejosari Village, Gondangrejo District, Karanganyar Regency. The theoretical framework used is near-death experience according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. The study was conducted using qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach. Data collecting techniques are carried out by in-depth interviews, observations, and library studies. The results showed that the five Javanese elderly studied underwent all stages of the theory of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross but the sequence was different. Four of the five research subjects already had an attitude of acceptance caused by a weak physical condition due to various decreases in the function of their organs.AbstrakSebagian orang menganggap peristiwa kematian merupakan bagian akhir dari kehidupan, sehingga mereka menganggap kematian sebagai peristiwa yang menakutkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pengalaman menjelang kematian lansia Jawa di Kalurahan Rejosari Kecamatan Gondangrejo Kabupaten Karanganyar. Kerangka teori yang dipakai adalah pengalaman menjelang kematian menurut Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologis. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lima lansia Jawa yang diteliti mengalami semua tahapan dari teori Elisabeth Kübler-Ross tetapi urutannya berbeda. Empat dari lima subyek penelitian sudah memiliki sikap penerimaan yang disebabkan oleh kondisi fisik yang lemah karena berbagai penurunan fungsi organ tubuhnya.

ABSTRACTRecognized by few in theory and practice, unconscious dynamics affect all aspects of education, including teaching and learning, as well as assessment, coding, and teacher preparation. Jung proposed that the collective unconscious is akin to a very deep psychosocial well from which individuals, families, and cultures across time and place draw in order to organize and make meaning of life. If we accept this claim, then the ways we understand and attend to interpersonal dynamics within the classroom radically change. Here, in two conjoining parts, a case is made for the vital importance of acknowledging and working with the unconscious, particularly the cultural layer (Part 1) and the familial layer (Part 2) of the psyche. Attention in Part 1 is given to the social and political turn in Jungian psychology and its importance to the dramatically changing ethnocultural character of Canada’s classrooms (likewise with many countries today). The cultural unconscious, cultural complexes, scapegoating, and the critical intersection between groups and individuals are examined in relation to education.
