When I first "The Emotional Life of Nations" by Lloyd deMause read (his summary of psycho-historical research the last decades) was the analysis of the fantasy part, I just found the first time strange. Psychoanalysts work with their patients so routinely with the interpretation of dreams, images, fantasies, etc., to make unconscious processes significantly. This process is recognized and wonder today no more people.
The psycho-historians, business, basically in a similar way this procedure on nations. On behalf of the dominant group fantasies newspapers (political) comics, newspaper titles and pictures, speeches by politicians and so analyzed. DeMause I made it clear that this unusual procedure can lead quite useful findings. The process has lost to me more and more curiosity. It makes sense, even if at first almost persuaded to become the psycho-history funny, "deals with comics yes". If you to agree to an admittedly the seriousness of the matter is clear. DeMause tried by this method as wars or even anticipate attacks on heads of state (with no claim to perfection and uniqueness of the method). In his book he made as much as the assassination of 30 March 1981 on Ronald Reagan suggested previously in media images.
I myself have changed my view on news and pictures after reading deMause. (With a speech analysis by Angela Merkel I had already collected quite good first experience) whether this is useful to be seen. I'll be honest, I'm very involved in work and family not to read every day in detail in the media. My view is very limited and incomplete.
On Monday, 1/11/2010 was me at SPIEGEL Online a high degree of emotional power of words (possible fantasy words) in the titles and short signatures on the input side. So I made the effort and wrote this just to summarize: swallowed
Deadly geological fault lines, eerie, underground, bombs, terror, Carnage, fighting, terror attack, heart, despair, sorrow, solitude, loneliness, sadness, General Accounting, Watsch attacks, rage, authoritarian, injury, beat up this boy, big greed, heaven and hell, fighters, saints, hero, zombie hunting, beating King , enemies, zombies, werewolves, death, heroes, born attacks, anorexia is hungry, eating disorders, women, shoots, giant dumped, terror, terror, pounce, scold scold, tantrums, heaven and hell, financial crisis, poverty, bad , drugs, alcohol, heroin, dead bodies, protect prostitutes, baby, hushed cry, damn, dangerous, shudder, War, revolution, brothel, dies, hits, evil, terror.
Then I watched the episode days and found similar power words. In this respect, I thought Sven, forget that, daily news is now time full of negative power words. Make your blog does not seem "frivolous" when you pointing to such observations ... on 05.11. I then wrote a post: "Thoughtful to Germany." For example, I noticed very emotional television films that went on about child abuse (by the way also in the subsequent period, after this post). I watched this month, especially the online news from the mirror, the time and the FAZ.
Am 15.11. were three titles I kits special attention to:
"My God, we must all die!" FAZ 1511.2010
"split Merkel society" TIME 15.11.
"In search of the enemy" TIME 11/15/2010
fear of dying, fear of division, in search of the enemy. All normal daily news? I thought, yes, probably. Maybe I'm exaggerating, too?
Am 17.11. then followed the media reporting for a specific terror warning for Germany by Thomas de Maizière. Since disappeared, the many power words like I have outlined above from the news. Of course, were found more words like "terrorist", "threat", etc. But not this jumble of various expletives, as I have described above as for the mirror. This elimination made me suspicious but then, so I am now writing something in this process by this article.
capped a concrete potential enemy from the outside that is indeed fearful fantasies that are associated with destructive childhood experiences?
I will not say so and so's it. But I'm very amateur and novice with respect to the psycho-historical fantasy analysis. I would like to hereby So, at first my current state of affairs , To hold as I just watched the emotional developments. Maybe I can still expand in a few weeks. For me it is a personal experiment and try out. It may be all nonsense, it can perhaps say something. Let's see how the media images to develop further.
