Bolman and Gallos (2011) write a duty of leaders is to “appreciate the power of a strong and coherent institutional culture—and their role and responsibilities in creating and sustaining that culture” (p. 125). Symbolic leaders view their responsibility to tell the institutional history/stories, set the vision for the future, as well as use ceremony, rituals

Throughout the semester we went over many different methodologies, but for this research paper I have chosen to talk about these two methodologies feminism and psychoanalysis. The propose of this paper is to provide an understanding of how feminism plays a role with psychoanalysis, how female can use this theory as a get away from their responsibility as a female. Throughout the paper I will use two secondary resources to explain the meaning of both theory and use examples from the text “The Turn

Meaning is not created in one single time frame, it develops and evolves over time. Representation refers to the “essential part of the process by which meaning is produced and exchanged between members in a culture” (Hall 15). Theorists such as Augustine of Hippo, Jaques Lacan, Northrop Frye, Roland Barthes, and Wolfgang Iser all have diverging opinions on the topic of representation due to the evidently contrasting themes that they presented in each of their works. From the time of the third century

psychoanalysis to examine queer subculture, what other areas of theoretical discourse can one apply this model to? It is without exaggeration (or abuse of grammar) that I answer this question with an emphatic ‘yes;’ the same affirmation given by Derrida, Foucault, and countless other theorists searching for an answer to the eternally sublime,

The founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, developed a wide variety of psychoanalytic theories that are often used to analyze a diverse body of literary and artistic works.

This occurs when a parent fails to reciprocate affection to their child; consequently, urging them

Lacans mirror stage Self-recognition is fundamental building block for humans, we exist as individuals each with out own differences and recognition of each other is an important feature for us. Psychoanalytic theorist had attempted to understand the complexities of the human mind truth identity and agency in the world. Advance in technologies brought us an opportunity to create virtual worlds2 and in many ways artificial reality is bound by the fundamental rules of gravity, day night cycle,

Harry Potter and the Phallus Fallacy An exploration of Freudian and Lacanian Phallus Theory   The phallus has long been represented as a powerful symbol time and time again in culture, pop culture, society and media. Closely linked to the male biological penis, it is representative of power as well as a symbol of control and strength.

Kate Chopin’s controversial novel, The Awakening, ignited turmoil because of her blatant disregard of the established 19th century perspective of women upholding strictly maternal and matrimonial responsibilities. Edna’s candid exploration of the restrictions on women through her liberal behavior in a conservative Victorian society makes her a literary symbol for feminist ideals.

Hamlet in Psychoanalysis: Reconstructing the Masculine Identity How do individuals become a part of the psychoanalytic mind when desires are present?

In the early 1800s Mary Shelley set pen to a paper and started to develop a novel that little to her knowledge would become world renowned. In 1818 she finished and published the novel to sell to the European public. The novel caught the world off guard in the way that a female was able to write about such harsh, dark, and evil things in a European society whose authors like John Locke and Charles Montesquieu preached enlightenment, self exploration, and individualism all in an optimistic enabling
