Buster Moon Projections: How Cartoon Characters Activate Psychoanalytic Defense Mechanisms in "Sing (2016)"
No full textThis research aims to examine the projection of the character Buster Moon in the animated film "Sing" (2016) using a psychoanalytic theory approach, especially defense mechanisms. Buster Moon, an optimistic and persistent koala, struggles to save his theater from bankruptcy by holding a singing competition. This study explores how the character reflects and activates defense mechanisms by projection, both within himself and in interactions with other characters. Denial can be seen in his continued disregard for difficult financial realities. Projection is demonstrated through the way he handles personal fears and failures by focusing on the dreams and ambitions of others. Through this analysis, the author reveals how Buster Moon as a cartoon character functions not only as an entertainer, but also as a reflection of human defense mechanisms, providing insight into how animated films can function as a medium for understanding psychological dynamics in life.

Brief cognitive assessment and theory of mind in first episode psychosis, and their relation to community functioning.
No full textThis review examines the research evidence for cognitive deficits in first episode psychosis (FEP), their neurological basis and their relation to social functioning. Twenty-six papers were identified by searching computer databases (e.g. PsycINFO, the Cochrane Library, etc.), hand searching relevant journals, and searching reference sections of key papers. The papers identified were then categorised into 3 subject areas: neurological, cognitive deficits, and social ftinctioning. FEP patients showed an excess of neurological soft signs and differences in brain morphology compared to healthy controls. While there appears to be clear evidence to support a generalised cognitive deficit in FEP, there may also be a sub-group of patients who have specific impairments in some aspects of cognitive function. There appears to be little or no evidence of an association between cognitive deficits and social functioning in FEP, though this area requires further research in the future

Buster Keaton, agent tous risques
No full textÀ l’heure où l’on pense les catastrophes, où elles obsèdent nos esprits insécurisés, où elles occupent une grande part du champ du discours médiatique et de l’action politique, que peut bien nous dire un corps burlesque des années 1920 qui, avec une belle constance, a traversé plus d’un désastre pour nous amuser ? À l’heure où le genre bien nommé du film-catastrophe et les séries du même acabit jouent à agiter nos peurs, de l’épidémie à l’accident, de l’attentat au désastre écologique, que raconte le corps Buster Keaton ? Regardons Keaton dans les périls – nombreux – qu’il affronte. Héroïque par juste nécessité, Robinson maladroit, Don Quichotte véritable affrontant les éléments et le monde avec la triste figure et la vaillance d’un – preux – chevalier dans un tournoi d’un autre âge, le héros de Keaton tient bon sa place. Il se « fond aux obstacles », il fait corps avec les choses et le monde et s’engage dans leur fonctionnement même : il accompagne le cours des événements pour ne pas se laisser surpasser, pour ne pas – trop – les subir. Son geste, ses actes, sont ceux d’une résistance à un monde catastrophique et transformable, monde invivable mais seul monde habitable, avec lequel il faut bien faire, contre le vent duquel il faut s’arc-bouter pour ne pas qu’il vous emporte. Un monde ni plus ni moins catastrophique que le nôtre, vu, arpenté, mesuré, éprouvé, de l’œil et par le corps – outils salutaires ? – du burlesque.In times when the idea of catastrophe is so present to our modern minds, when disasters occupy a great deal of media space and motivate a large portion of political activities, the author looks back at Buster Keaton, with his valiant resistance and resilience to catastrophic events, with his way to take part in the world and engage with things so as to not solely, passively, submit to what happens to and around him. Perhaps slapstick can teach us something about living in disaster.Was kann das Burleske dieses Komikers, der in den zwanziger Jahren mehr als ein Desaster, mehr als eine Katastrophe überstanden hat, wohl heute noch zu sagen haben, wo man über Katastrophen nachdenkt, wo sie unsere verunsicherte Geister quälen, wo sie im Medienbereich und im politischen Diskurs einen so grossen Platz einnehmen
Sens w maszynie : Buster Keaton i "Generał"
No full textIn his article, Masłoń argues against such interpretations of Buster Keaton’s “The General” (1926), that portray the film as a criticism of mechanization, and thus the dehumanization of human life in the modern world. Starting with Bergson’s definition, for whom the essence of comedy is “the mechanics of life”, and taking into account the romantic origins of this definition (ideas of organic art, sentimental interior, etc.), the author tries to show that, contrary to the tradition, it is precisely “soulless” body presented in the film that is of interest, and that that very body, rather than spontaneous spirituality, is the source of the autonomy of the main character and his poetic charm. Moreover, taking into the account the form of the film, only the “mechanically” constructed slapstick theme – based on the chase, and the process of Johnny becoming a machine– can be considered self-sufficient, even though it is “polluted” by the allegedly organic, sentimental and heroic conventions. In this manner (both in content and form) the film refers to simplifications of spontaneity and organic sentimentality, and can also be considered as an evaluation of this side fighting in the American civil war whose identity refers to this type of values
