Apophatic Elements in the Theory and Practice of Psychoanalysis: Pseudo-Dionysius and C.G. Jung
No full textThis thesis identifies apophatic elements in the theory and practice of psychoanalysis through an examination of Pseudo-Dionysius and C.G. Jung. Pseudo-Dionysius brought together Greek and Biblical currents of negative theology and the via negativa. The apophatic concepts and metaphors which appear in the work of Pseudo-Dionysius are identified. The psychology of Jung can be read as a continuation and extension of the apophatic tradition. The presence of neoplatonic themes in Jung’s work is discussed, as well as his references to Pseudo-Dionysius. There is a thorough examination of Jung’s discussion of opposites, including his reception of Nicholas of Cusa’s concept of the coincidence of opposites. The role of the transcendent function in Jung’s psychology is reviewed. The work of contemporary scholars of religion, philosophers and Jungian theorists are compared to Jung’s using the lens of apophasis. There is an exploration of ways in which motifs in Pseudo-Dionysius’ Ecclesiatical Hierarchy resonate with contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy. This study demonstrates that apophatic motifs saturate Jung’s work. It provides a platform for research into apophasis in the wider field of psychoanalysis

Edible Fims and Coatings from Plant Origin Proteins
No full textThis chapter discusses the film formation ability and associated functional properties of a number of plant proteins, namely those extractable from corn, soybean, wheat, cottonseed, and other crops. Soy protein films are typically prepared from Soy protein isolate (SPI) by drying thin layers of cast film forming solutions. The drying temperature and RH that determine the drying rate of cast solutions can also affect the film structure and properties. The high oxygen-barrier capability of SPI films could be utilized in the manufacture of multilayer packaging, where protein films would function as the oxygen barrier providing layer. SPI coating on precooked meat products could control lipid oxidation and limit surface moisture loss. Further, wheat gluten (WG) films have been produced by collecting the surface skin formed during the heating of WG solutions to temperatures near boiling. Application of WG-based materials can be envisioned for the coating of seeds, pills, and foodstuffs, and for making cosmetic masks, polishes, or drug capsules. There are other plant proteins of limited availability that may be of interest, due to a unique property they provide to films or an advantage with regard to film formation. Limited availability may be because of relatively low production of the protein source or limitations in recovering the protein as a coproduct from a process. The nature, recovery, film formation, and film properties of protein obtained from peanut, rice, pea, pistachio, and grain sorghum are also described in this discussion.Fil: Buffo, Roberto Americo.

Surface chemistry of food, packaging and biopolymer materials
No full textThis chapter discusses the physicochemical principles of surface phenomena, and provides an overview of the research regarding surface properties of biopolymers used for the manufacturing of biodegradable films. Surface properties of food packaging polymers, such as wettability, scalability, printability, dye uptake, resistance to glazing, and adhesion to food surfaces or other polymers are of central importance to food packaging designers and engineers with respect to product shelf-life, appearance, and quality control. The most commonly used food packaging polymers are low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, and nylon. In recent years, environmental concerns have increased the interest in preparing biodegradable packaging materials. Proteins and polysaccharides are the biopolymers of prime interest, since they can be used effectively to make edible and biodegradable films to replace short shelf-life plastics. Surface properties of biopolymers provide a supplementary understanding of film behavior, leading to an enhanced design of packaging materials for specific applications.Fil: Buffo, Roberto Americo.

Poiesis and Obstruction in Art Practice
No full textThis PhD thesis examines the concept of poiesis, that is ‘calling into existence that which was not there before’, in the context of obstruction in studio practice. It poses the question ‘Is there a methodology that engages with obstruction which in turn calls new work’? In this thesis, the concept of poiesis emerging from the late Dr. Murray Cox’s ‘Aeolian Mode’, is analyzed alongside a concept of praxis, (a philosophical companion to poiesis), familiar to artistic practice. This thesis describes the orientation of the original idea, The Aeolian Mode, clinically developed by Dr. Murray Cox in Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital. This PhD seeks to identify if there are similar ‘tenets of approach’ held within the methodology of ‘The Aeolian Mode’, that would be useful or are identifiable in artistic studio practice. This thesis draws on the work of the philosopher, Professor Richard Kearney, specifically Kearney’s ideas on the necessity of ‘the other’ for ‘radical possibility’ to occur. It maps a context of both Freudian and Jungian interpretations of art practice, identifying how these ideas have shaped the way art is seen today. Furthermore, it challenges the Freudian idea of ‘pathography’ and favours a Jungian approach of ‘individuation’ in the understanding of creative processes. It develops a ‘methodology of the conversation’, interviewing students, established artists, tutors about their approaches to obstruction/poiesis in art practice. Additionally, it examines my own obstruction to painting and identifies the methodology that released me from this obstruction. Conducting these interviews on art practice has enabled me to confirm my initial concerns about Freudian ‘pathography’ whilst validating the possibility of the Jungian concept of ‘individuation’ being of use to art practice. Finally, this PhD discusses the implications for further study and research, which have emerged during the ‘methodology of the conversation’ and the task of dissolving my obstruction to painting

Finding Jung
No full textContributions by David H. Rosen. Foreword by Sir Laurens van der Post. 224 pp. 46 b&w photos. Bib. Index.Frank N. McMillan Jr., a country boy steeped in the traditional culture of rural Texas, was summoned to a life-long quest for meaning by a dream lion he met in the night. On his journey, he followed the lead of the founder of analytical psychology, Carl Jung, and eventually established the world���s first professorship to advance the study of that field.
McMillan, born and raised on a ranch near Calvert, was an Aggie through and through, with degrees in geology and petroleum engineering. As an adult working near Bay City, Texas, he was lunching in a country caf�� when by chance he met abstract expressionist painter Forrest Bess, who was ecstatically waving a letter he had received from Jung himself. The artist���s enthusiastic description of Jung as a master psychologist, soul doctor, and healer led McMillan to the Jung Center in Houston, where he began reading Jung���s Collected Works. McMillan frequently said, ���Jung saved my life.���
Finding Jung: Frank N. McMillan Jr., a Life in Quest of the Lion captures McMillan���s journey through the words of his own journals and through reflections by his son, Frank III. David Rosen, the holder of the first endowed McMillan professorship at Texas A&M University, adds insights to the book, and the late Sir Laurens van der Post, whom the elder McMillan met at the Houston Jung Center in 1979, authored a foreword to the book before his death.
This is a story that sheds light on the inner workings of the self as well as the Jungian understanding of the Self. In often lyrical language, it gives the human background to a major undertaking in the dissemination of Jungian scholarship and provides a personal account of a life lived in near-mythic dimensions. FRANK N. MCMILLAN III, an author, educator, and speaker, has been active in worldwide Jungian circles for the past twenty-five years. A former board member of the C. G. Jung Educational Center of Houston and a member of the International Association of Jungian Studies, he lives in Corpus Christi
Rare is Beautiful?The Relationship between the Rareness of Technological Resources and the Value of the Resources (presented by co-author)
No full text(Presented by co-author) We examine firms’ development of a rare technological resource and substantiate the mechanisms through which the development of a rare technological resource leads to the creation of valuable resources, a critical source of competitive advantage. In particular, we conceptualize value creation and its sustainability at the resource level, clarifying the link between resource development and value generation. We build our theory exploiting the fundamental tension in the strategic factor market, where firms obtain others’ resources to develop their own resources and at the same time, strive to isolate their resources from potential competitors. We argue that the degree of rareness of a technological resource has an inverted U-shape relationship with the value of the resource, and the sustainability of that value, as reflected by temporal duration and breadth of the adopted fields. Our analysis utilizing the topic modeling method to operationalize the rareness at the time of a resource development is based on over 4,000 U.S. nanotechnology patents. The result provides strong support for hypotheses. We contribute to literature by converting conceptual and empirical conflation between resource characteristics and resource-generated values in the resource-based view literature to testable hypotheses
