Teaching and Anxiety: Experiences of Teachers in the Beginning of the Career

This article will allow us to scientifically obtain an updated view of work anxiety, focused on the beginning of a university professor's career, with the aim of understanding what the experience of a beginning professor is like and how they build their identity. Specifically describe the challenges that these professionals face in their professional practice. S. Freud's psychoanalytic theory was used, according to which human behavior is based on instincts or unconscious impulses, some being aggressive and others destructive. Currently, the challenges that society poses, and that schools face, are increasingly demanding, with the level of anxiety and stress among teachers being notorious and their possible association with the degree of satisfaction in the educational process. For this research, the qualitative approach was used for a deeper analysis and in-depth interviews were used to collect the data. The target audience for the research was beginner and seasoned teachers from higher education institutions. As the results indicate, every teacher is affected by anxiety in the exercise of their profession, which is good when it drives and pathological when it creates obstacles in the teaching activity. Professionals are satisfied with their profession, but hard work is still needed on a personal and professional level to achieve the university's objectives and overcome the challenges imposed on it. However, it is necessary to invest in the continuous training of teaching staff to improve the quality, pedagogical conditions of teaching and scientific production.

Psychical Inertia: Origins and Transformations

In this article I map a set of points that could begin to tell the story of inertia’s trajectory from physics and physiology to figurations of psychic life in Freudian psychoanalytic theory. Both preceding and contemporaneous with Freud’s use of the concept of inertia to describe an element of psychic life, work was taking place in other intellectual and geographical contexts to translate this law of physics and physiology to a property of mental life. As a particular illustration of this, I examine a lecture given by British scientist Michael Faraday in 1818, wherein he makes the leap from the inertia of matter to ‘mental inertia’ and is arguably the first recorded thinker to do so in the English language. I then explore the use of the phrase ‘psychic inertia’ in 1900 by Scottish physiologist D.F. Harris and argue that Harris’s work is not only emerging at the same time as Freud’s discoveries, but that he prefigures Freud’s ideas about the relationship between inertia and the death drive in interesting ways. The final part of the paper returns to sketch out Freud’s engagement with the concept in several of his papers.

Analisis Kepribadian Tokoh Utama dalam Novel Dangerous Romance Karya Daisy Ann: Kajian Psikologi Sastra

This research is based on the selfish side that exists in the personality of the main character in Daisy Ann's novel Dangerous Romance which can be studied more deeply with Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The research method used is descriptive-qualitative, with the aim of describing the personalities of the main characters, Maura and Benny Arliansyah, based on the concepts of Id, Ego, and Superego. The research data are sentences quoted directly from the novel Dangerous Romance by Daisy Ann. The identity of Maura's personality includes the desire to possess, the desire for Ben's attention, the desire to be a good wife, and the desire to be a friend of Ben. The ego of the Maura personality encompasses selfishness, ambition, and reluctance to surrender, attention, openness, and jealousy. The superego in Maura's individuality involves the awareness of his egoism and the consciousness of releasing Ben. As for the superego that is seen in him, it is his awareness of his fault. These personality concepts can be used as a life lesson that one's selfishness can destroy everything. This finding is also a sign that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory can be used as a primary foundation in the study of novel literature so that it can be reimplemented in other literary works, whether drama or scripture.

Monarchy and Politics of Detention in Taher Ben Jalloun's “This Blinding Absence of Light”

Tahar Ben Jelloun's novels are distinguished by their integration of problematic social phenomena into a purely literary form. While this isn't unique to Ben Jelloun's writing style, the author's way of crafting thought-provoking and often revolutionary experimental stories from the material of traditional Moroccan life is, at least in a way extraordinary: his characters experience social difficulties and embarrassments in their lives through the metaphor of a fictional existence of their self-perception. Thus, for example, their search for identity in their social context manifests in their search for self-perception as fictional characters and power struggles in relationships. Their relationship takes the form of a battle for control of the story. Political prisoners associate writing with their quest for freedom. This article therefore focuses on the torture, body and voice representations of Taher Ben Jelloun's This Blinding Absence of Light (2002). Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory will be used to approach the psychological disintegration of characters in the text following such a Dark Decade experience and will borrow eclectic concepts from interdisciplinary studies; Erving's concept of Goffman's "holistic institution", Elaine Scarry's comprehensive and detailed theoretical definition and analysis of torture, and Judith Herman's study of trauma.
