{"product_id":"an-evolution-of-consciousness-von-dana-dinnawi","title":"An Evolution of Consciousness","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis thesis examines how the female protagonists in  Elective Affinities, The Awakening, and The Hours  illuminate the cycle of contention and  reconciliation between inner and outer worlds,  between idealism and realism. Each protagonist  negotiates a journey of authentic self-evolution,  whether within or outside the confines of her  respective social realm, to regain possession of the  unconscious. All three protagonists attempt to make  art out of ordinary experience in negotiating the  relationship between the unconscious and the  idealization of the self. Parallel to this creative  effort is a sense of failure due to the high  expectations that each protagonist places on  herself. The value of each life-project is  determined by how each character interprets her  respective success or failure, and not exclusively  by social considerations. Instead of maintaining the  ideal or the real in separate realms, creativity  overcomes the conflict between the demands of the  ego and the constraints of culture. The three works  examined in this thesis help demonstrate that  creativity itself can become an ideal that can  transform reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838331065\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Idealization of the Self in Goethe''s Elective Affinities, Chopin''s The Awakening and  Cunningham''s The Hours\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838331065","offer_id":39498939203677,"sku":"9783838331065","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/0fd2d18e-aee9-4614-9a3c-8906a04748dc.jpg?v=1758875489","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/an-evolution-of-consciousness-von-dana-dinnawi","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
