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
C.G. Jung et les théologiens
No full textHélène Kiener. C.G. Jung and the theologians. (C.G. Jung et les théologiens.)
This article is by one of the students of the psychologist C.G. Jung. She practised as a Jungian psychoanalyst in Strasbourg from 1946 to 1970. She deals here with the theological dimension, mostly implicit, of Jung's thouth, which is generally overlooked by theology. The author shows how the major theologians, who are the exception to the general rule, make room for Jungian anthropology, and she calls for a more open attitude in theology, because of the light thrown by Jung's thought on many theological statements.L'article qu'on lira est d'une élève du psychologue des profondeurs C. G. Jung. Elle a pratiqué elle-même l'analyse jungienne à Strasbourg de 1946 à 1970. La question traitée porte sur la dimension théologique généralement implicite de la pensée de Jung, assez négligée d'une manière générale par la théologie. L'auteur expose la manière dont les principaux théologiens, qui font exception , font droit à l'anthropologie jungienne, et en appelle à une ouverture plus grande de la théologie en raison de la lumière que la pensée de Jung jette sur bien des affirmations théologiques.Kiener Hélène.

City and sanctuary in Hellenistic Asia Minor : constructing civic identity in the sacred landscapes of Mylasa and Stratonikeia in Karia
No full textIn de derde tot eerste eeuw v.Chr. onderging Klein Azië een sterke golf van verstedelijking. Christina Williamson richt zich in haar onderzoek op de rol van heiligdommen in dit proces, in het bijzonder van religieuze centra buiten het stadsareaal. Dit fenomeen wordt onderzocht aan de hand van een viertal case studies in Karië, in zuidwest Klein Azië. Hieronder vallen de heiligdommen van Zeus Labraundos en de inheemse god Sinuri en hun relatie met de stad Mylasa, die een reorganisatie onderging in de tweede helft van de derde eeuw v.Chr.; en de heiligdommen van Hekate te Lagina en Zeus te Panamara met de nieuw gestichte stad Stratonikeia in ongeveer dezelfde periode.
Williamson’s onderzoek heeft een sterk interdisciplinair karakter; er is een methodologisch kader ontwikkeld dat afgeleid is van zowel historische en archeologische theorieën als van cognitieve psychologie, socio-geografische studies en netwerkmodellen. Ze toont aan dat deze op het oog afgelegen heiligdommen een belangrijke rol speelden in een aantal van de transformatieve processen in stadsformatie, en meer in het bijzonder dat festivals en processies centraal waren voor sociale cohesie, territoriale integriteit, en stedelijke identiteit onder hybride en verspreide gemeenschappen.

In the third to first centuries BC, several developing cities in Asia Minor (Turkey) had protective deities whose temple complexes were located deep in the countryside, well beyond the city limits. Christina Williamson explores this phenomenon by examining in close detail four case studies, all of which are located in Karia, in southwest Asia Minor. These are the sanctuaries of Zeus at Labraunda and Sinuri and their relationship with the ancient city of Mylasa, underwent a major reorganization in the second half of the third century BC, and the sanctuaries of Hekate at Lagina and Zeus at Panamara in connection with the expansion of the city of Stratonikeia, a new foundation in roughly the same period. This research has a strong interdisciplinary character and has produced a methodological framework which draws on historical and archaeological studies, but also cognitive psychology, socio-geographical studies, and network theory, in order to adequately assess this phenomenon. A close application of this framework has demonstrated how these seemingly remote sanctuaries were critical to a number of transformative processes in city formation and how their festivals and processions were vital in establishing social cohesion, territorial integrity, and civic identity among hybrid and dispersed communities.

An Investigation of Transitional Phenomena from Laminar to Turbulent Natural Convection using Compressible Direct Numerical Simulation
No full textThe transitional phenomena from laminar to turbulent natural convection and the development process inside the channel are investigated using compressible direct numerical simulation (DNS). Numerical method of Roe scheme with preconditioning and dual time stepping are used for addressing natural convection flows with large temperature differences, which are low speed but the densities are variable. The results are qualitatively well consistent with the experimental data [1] and the transition point can be accurately captured. In addition, the development process respected to time can be clearly identified for four stages, which are laminar, unstable process, reliminarization and turbulence. After reaching the quasi-steady state, it can be observed that the laminar, transition and turbulence coexist in the same flow filed. Most important of all, the transitional phenomena are naturally induced by the effects of interactions between the buoyancy and shear stress without adding any fluctuations at inlet. It means that the numerical scheme and physical model adopted in this study has the potential to be a universal case for estimating the accuracy of turbulence model because the characteristics of parameters-free and independence from inlet condition
