IDEAS


First paragraph is looking at the components of the unconscious; focusing to begin with on the Id, Ego and Super Ego as expressed by Freudian theories. (Jung says the mind is made up of two types, the personal and the collective).  Progressing to look at the idea of how personal conflicts effects the unconscious and thus can be seen as transferred into creative outlets portraying how there is a connection between art and the components of the psyche. (Examples – e.g. the Birds – title piece, sound art, representing a rupture in the mind/ “Vertigo” film piece, inspired by the element of hysteria).

Second paragraph – looking at motivations behind the unconscious; what causes these changes, decisions and disturbances in mental states? Progressing to look at Freud’s theory of motivation behind the unconscious – suggests that it is to do with wish fulfilement.
 Contradicting this Jung believed in an archetypal theory, “…the essential life force was essentially spiritual in nature.” P28 Dreams and fantasies = archetypes. To do with meanings behind dreams.



FOCUSING ON:
Components of the psyche.
Make up of dreams.
Imagination - ideas and impression.
Wish fulfilment.
