A discourse on the textual-psychoidal duality in the novel "Thorn and Laurel" ["Cierń i laur"] by Wladyslaw Lech Terlecki
2018
Discourse on textual-psychoidal duality in Władysław Lech Terlecki’s novel Cierń i laur (Thorn and Laurel). The topic of the novel Cierń i Laur (Thorn and Laurel) by Władysław Lech Terlecki (1933-1999) is the fate of Master - a nameless author of historical novels whose real model might be Józef Ignacy Kraszewski (1812-1887) - a nineteenth century author of historical and domestic fiction, well known in Europe of that time. His last romance coincides with his another novel written simultaneously - two fictional perspectives penetrate and illuminate each other. The play of mirror reflections, elements of chest-like composition and duality of inter-textual perspective find explanation in inte…
Le dévoilement du sens à travers les avatars différents de la féminité chez Marguerite Duras
2016
Madness is an inherent quality of female protagonists in the prose of Marguerite Duras. It manifests itself through melancholy, sadness, loneliness, misunderstanding or absence arising from abandonment. The behaviour of female characters, marked by distress or “the disease of death”, is irrational, nonsensical and difficult to understand. Their attitude defies logic and attempts to capture this specificity of writing focused on the emotive sphere, on what is inexpressible. This article discusses the perception of femininity and its various incarnations, manifesting themselves through specific language, sexuality and obsessions inscribed in the nature of the weaker sex. The destruction of pe…
Part 1—You can run but you can't hide: Intrusive thoughts on six continents
2014
Abstract Most cognitive approaches for understanding and treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) rest on the assumption that nearly everyone experiences unwanted intrusive thoughts, images and impulses from time to time. These theories argue that the intrusions themselves are not problematic, unless they are misinterpreted and/or attempts are made to control them in maladaptive and/or unrealistic ways. Early research has shown unwanted intrusions to be present in the overwhelming majority of participants assessed, although this work was limited in that it took place largely in the US, the UK and other ‘westernised’ or ‘developed’ locations. We employed the International Intrusive Thoug…
Part 3. A question of perspective: The association between intrusive thoughts and obsessionality in 11 countries
2014
Abstract A key assumption of contemporary cognitive-behavioral models of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is that obsessional thoughts exist on a continuum with “normal” unwanted intrusive thoughts. Recently, however, some authors have challenged this notion. The present study aimed to clarify (a) the extent that different types of intrusive thoughts in nonclinical individuals are associated with obsessionality, (b) the relative contribution of frequency, distress and control ratings to obsessionality, and (c) the extent that existing findings (primarily from North American or European samples) generalize to other countries in the world. Five hundred and fifty-four non clinical individua…
Which Facets of Mindfulness Protect Individuals from the Negative Experiences of Obsessive Intrusive Thoughts?
2018
Obsessive intrusive thoughts (OITs) are experienced by the majority of the general population, and in their more extreme forms are characteristic of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). These cognitions are said to exist on a continuum that includes differences in their frequency and associated distress. The key factors that contribute to an increased frequency and distress are how the individual appraises and responds to the OIT. Facets of mindfulness, such as nonjudgment and nonreactivity, offer an alternative approach to OITs than the negative appraisals and commonly utilised control strategies that often contribute to distress. Clarifying the role of facets of mindfulness in relation to…
Perfection et interprétation dans The Remains of the Day (Kazuo Ishiguro, James Ivory), ou les débordements génériques de l'obsession
2010
Si les objets des obsessions de Stevens dans The Remains of the Day sont nombreux, celles-ci semblent toutes tendre vers un seul et même objectif : la perfection et l'humilité. Avec obstination et acharnement, Stevens sert son employeur, heureuse victime d'une emprise qui l'assiège autant qu'elle le définit. Ces premières formes d'obsession seront d'abord reliées à l'excès d'anglicité qui parcourt le roman, excès dont on s'efforcera de comprendre la logique de débordement comme étant à l'origine des stratégies vocales et visuelles de contrôle de Stevens, de l'écriture d'Ishiguro et de la mise en scène de James Ivory dans son adaptation filmique. Les obsessions premières de Stevens en cachen…
La hantise du même souvenir chez Duras : la réécriture d’une histoire d’amour
2019
Repeated memories and recollections found in the works by Marguerite Duras, referring to the writer’s biography, constantly expose the presence of the Other. One of the favorite motifs is the figure of a lover who returns in different incarnations in subsequent songs. Identified with unrequited love, lust, ecstasy, madness, pain, loss, lover’s scandal, the lover becomes a myth. The relationship with him leads to the discovery of the unknown, the territory of his own “I”, which sometimes includes traumatic experiences, transgression of prohibitions and even incestuous love. The lover’s theme becomes a kind of phantasm, constituting a narrative subject or model that determines the functioning…
Bodily obsessions : intrusiveness of organs in somatic obsessive–compulsive disorder
2022
AbstractIn this paper, I will provide a phenomenological analysis of somatic obsessions at times present in obsessive–compulsive disorder. I will compare two different types of bodily obsessions, which have a different neurological-physiological underpinning: anguishing awareness of one’s own heartbeat and of one’s own breathing. In addition, I will contrast these two with how one experiences one’s own liver. I will use the concepts "tactility obsessions” and "motility obsessions”, which I have coined for the purpose of this comparison. In other words, these are obsessions concerning the felt sense of one’s autonomous organs and obsessions concerning one’s ability to voluntarily move. Ultim…
¿TIENEN LOS NIÑOS PENSAMIENTOS INTRUSOS ANÁLOGOS A OBSESIONES? PRESENTACiÓN DE UN INSTRUMENTO ESTANDARIZADO Y RESULTADOS PRELIMINARES
2007
Los pensamientos intrusos no deseados con contenidos similares a las obsesiones clínicas, constituyen una experiencia prácticamente universal en adultos sin psicopatologías. Sin embargo, no existen apenas evidencias de la presencia de estas introsiones en población infantil y pre-adolescente. En este trabajo se presenta el Inventario de Pensamientos Intrusos Obsesivos para Nif'los y Adolescentes (INPIOS-NA), que recoge en 45 items la frecuencia con que se experimentan intrusiones con temática obsesivo-compulsiva. Lo completaron 122 nif'los (12 y 13 af'los). El análisis factorial exploratorio produjo cuatro factores: 1) Agresión, sexo, acumulación; 2) Contaminación y dudas; 3) Superstición y…
