Session I
Psyc 339 - Seminar. Narrative Identity
Jonathan Cheek, Professor of Psychology
Narrative psychology explores the
human propensity to create and use stories about significant figures
and
events
in the process of identity formation. Topics will include an
exploration of mermaids and related figures as cultural images, metaphors
for
personal transformation, and archetypal symbols of the collective
unconscious. The Little Mermaid and La Sirene of Haitian Vodou
will be examined as representations of men's fear of, and attempts
to control, women's spirituality and sexuality. The personality
theories of Jung and Reich provide the framework for the seminar.
