  • HM 632: Memoir and Mind

    2.00 Credits
    Pacifica Graduate Institute

    In this course, we examine the possiblities of narration and reflection, the changing shape of memory, the distinction between the private and the personal, and the presence of a wider history in the fabric of an individual story. We examine the emergence of narrative construction as an increasingly influential and integrating paradigm in psychology. Particular attention will be paid to autobiographical memory, self-narrative and identity development as well as narrative interpretations of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. Recent advances in narrative research methodologies will be examined, particularly those qualitative approaches which focus upon interviews, auto-ethnographies, and other autobiographical sources of data.

  • HM 637: Chasing the Trickster

    2.00 Credits
    Pacifica Graduate Institute

    One of the arguments for the reality of the archetypes is the prevalence throughout world mythology of the trickster. Cultures around the world speak of gods, spirits, and animals who move in and out of structure. The trickster passes on messages and lies, steals things and plays pranks, provides tools that do not work as promised, laughs and dances between the various dimensions of the mythic and material world. In the first half of this course, we will study a variety of trickster figures - including Loki, Legba, Hermes, and Coyote - in order to explore the range and variation of this shifty figure. The second half of the course will explore the trickster from a more general and theoretical perspective, as we track the figure through the fields of parapsychology, literature, and media theory.

  • HMC 100: Creativity & Aesthetic Sensibility

    3.00 Credits
    Pacifica Graduate Institute

    While on the surface, creativity seems a simple phenomenon, it is actually quite complex. Though often studied, it is still not completely understood. Nor do we know the source of creativity: is it the right-brain, is it our unconscious psyche, it is the muse, or is it God? In the first half of the course, students read a wide variety of interdiscliplinary texts on the nature of creativity, ranging from science to psychology to spirituality to philosphy, identifying some of the key debates in the field. In the second half of the course, students will read about aesthetics and ponder questions such as, is the sense of beauty in our biology, or is it socially constructed? Throughout the course, students critically reflect upon their own beliefs about creativity and the cultivation of their aesthetic sensibility.

  • HMC 110: J. Campbell & the Mythmaker's Path

    3.00 Credits
    Pacifica Graduate Institute

    Joseph Campbell understood mythology to be humankind's most creative act. Throughout his career Campbell focused on the creative mythopoetic act as manifested in the art and literature of the world's culture in order to explore mythology itself. Through an exploration of Campbell's work, students will learn the methods of comparative mythology which gives them eyes to see the universal themes of humanity expressed through image and story. A study of Campbell shows how he saw the mythmaker's path as extending into the present moment - the mythmakers of the ancient times become the modern day teachers, writers, painters, and poets, and it is through their works that the cosmos continues to come forth.
