Abstract
In the paper the parallels between the emblematic “mechanisms” of signification and the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud as well as Carl Gustav Jung have been studied. The Austrian psychiatrist has discovered template schemes that become a visual delineation, the blueprint for developing his scientific vocabulary, methodology, classification of psycho-emotional behavioral types in mythological plots. The Eros and Thanatos images handling, the exploitation of mythical tales about Oedipus and Electra, Prometheus, Narcissus, and many other ones to specify the behavioral complexes denote the presence of “emblematic methodology” in the formation of psychoanalytic conceptions and categories. His interpretations of famous mythological plots are boiled down to emblematic reduction.
 Carl Gustav Jung frequently selected symbolic notations as his research targets, which were a denotative space for expressing internal mental receptions and historic constellations of cultural axiology. In his writings we see the intention to assemble the concepts of image (iconic) and socio-cultural idea (conventional) into a sole compound that syncretically denote unity of meaning. Such an arrangement of iconic-conventional interdetermination is often significative elbowroom in Jung the decoding of which may allow to discern complex mental reflections. Notwithstanding the fact that he considers a symbol to be the standard unit of cognitive-cultural experience “conservation”, its functional semantics definition is fulfilled in emblematic patterns. This emblematic-cognitive form is not only a method of determining the initial images-ideas of the unconscious, “the mythological figures” of inner conflicts, typical experience of generations, but also the principle of justification and expression of his theory conceptual foundation. To a certain extent, it is an element of the Swiss psychologist’s scientific thinking style and language.
Highlights
A lot of psychoanalytic definitions have emerged due to the interpretation of myths; the peculiarity of individual and collective psycho-development is constantly the subject of the system of idiosyncratically coordinated mythological patterns
Jacques Lacan, and Melanie Klein adapt in part mythological images and plots so as to employ them in their theories, which are manifested via emblematic reduction
It is pertinent to focus on the description of epistemological features of an emblem and the categories associated with it, and to determine how structuralsemiotic model of an emblem, its signification precepts are related to the psychoanalytic theory, which connections and interdependence point to the effectiveness of emblematic modeling in consciousness assessing procedures and mental activity
Summary
A lot of psychoanalytic definitions have emerged due to the interpretation of myths; the peculiarity of individual and collective psycho-development is constantly the subject of the system of idiosyncratically coordinated mythological patterns. Psychoanalytic theories use iconic-conventional concordance of myth as the fundamentals for structuring and accentuating conscious and unconscious mental. The significance of mythological visual and verbal convergence in the completion of psychoanalysis methodology and terminology is quite straightforward. Jacques Lacan, and Melanie Klein adapt in part mythological images and plots so as to employ them in their theories, which are manifested via emblematic reduction. Identified by way of visual representation, the purports of bygone “events” fulfill the function of internal schematic ostensiveness for the design of psychoanalytic concepts meanings. The emblematization of psychoreaction, stadiality, archetypes, the definition of visual and verbal meanings significance, their interconsistency and frictions project psychoanalytic generalizations
