Psicoanalisi

RASSEGNA FLP: materiali da testate generaliste su Freud, Lacan, la psicoanalisi. Psychoanalysis of MYTH - Applying Jung. Jung's theories have certainly been ap­plied to the study of myth - abundantly so.

But not in their entirety. The collec­tive unconscious and the process toward self-realization are psychoana­lytical components with little meaning to historians of religion, and dreadfully difficult to work with when examining mythological material. The archetypes, on the other hand, have flourished in interpretations of myths. Campbell, Eliade and others have not exactly adapted the archetypes as such, although several of those scholars admit to their existence and importance, but they have used the idea of extracting symbolic elements from the myths, and comparing these across cultural borders. Myths do have lots of similarities, no matter what culture or time they come from, and these similarities can easily be described in a manner approaching that of the archetypes.
