Beschreibungen/Notizen

• ‘Creativity at the individual level is shaped by the societal context in which creative development and thought takes place’. All the participants had chosen ‘non-uterine identity’ through the world of work, where the absent, personal father could be found through the culture of the working world. Technology is an unfamiliar other, arriving by expedient means, associated with increased age and declining fertility amidst sudden, mid-life imperatives to re-create and repair the mother-child union. Trickster has also been described as a ‘soul in hell’. Trickster is therefore the necessary but often destructive ingredient for metabolizing ‘death of time, death of language and death of narrative’ transforming trauma originating in maternal deprivation. In the course of a woman’s life a sudden transformation raises the possibility that an early relational disturbance, with an inhibiting or prohibiting affect, has been preventing ‘the trauma to be “forgotten”, and “remembered” instead of being always present’.
