Identity Task

Assuming that particular personality configurations would encounter particular situations and problems which affect their approach to and resolution of the identity task, this article considers the relationship of the concept of identity proposed by Erikson to those characteristics that distinguish highly creative individuals. Several hypotheses are advanced regarding the conditions encountered by these individuals in the process of identity formation as a function of their characteristics. On the basis of these conditions, it is suggested that their sense of identity is tentative and tenuous, involving a series of configurations, each more complex and comprehensive and reflecting a deeper penetration of their constituent elements. It is also suggested that this is a functional state compatible with their creative orientation.

This article examines the unique solution to the problem of the relationship between the creative personality and the state in the dilogy of the émigré writer Sergei Maximov. The author believes that this question is axiological, as it is related to the moral choices of the artist.The relationship between the artist and the authorities is directly linked to the historical situation and the political regime. The novels show different characters through the dialogue between the authorities and the artist. The choice of heroes is largely due to the Stalinist era, which totally restricted the artist's freedom of personal expression. One variant of the characters' behaviour is toadapt to the regime, with the consequent loss of individuality, writing to social order, creating stereotyped socialist-realistic texts, participating in establishing the «Stalinist myth», but living comfortably in the material world and without state repression. Maksimov speaks about the degradation of the artistic level in socialist realistic works that follow an invariant model, which results in the unification of creative individuality. Another important issue to the novelist is the artist's ethical authority, the idea of the moral responsibility of the writer strengthening the position of the criminal regime through his works. Alternatively, one can choose to find freedom of expression, opposition to power, leading to the destruction of the artist by the system. What both choices have in common is that it is a relationship of initially unequal forces, so their dialogue is not constructive.

Since immigrating to the United States in the early 1990s, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons has garnered praise as one of the most important artists to emerge from post-revolutionary Cuba. Campos-Pons’ oeuvre bears witness to issues central to the experience of diaspora populations. On view for the first time, the exhibit “Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons: MAMA/RECIPROCAL ENERGY” at the Vanderbilt Fine Arts Gallery (October 12 – December 8, 2011) presents new works by Campos-Pons that attest to the ability of fragmented and seemingly dislocated elements of the artists’ lived experiences to coalesce into a multifaceted identity. The dynamic quest for selfhood demonstrated by the works rejects absolutes; rather, it fosters an interconnected network where issues such as gender, exile, dislocation, race, religion, and cultural memory play out in a reciprocal manner. This paper first establishes Campos-Pons’ early conceptual basis as an artist. What follows is an extensive exploration of the exhibit argued through a thematic dynamic that highlights the relationship of themes among and between the works. Finally, it suggests that while Campos-Pons’ conceptual basis retains its earliest formative notions, the shifting narrative that emerges from the exhibit and corresponding stylistic changes confirm the inclusion of the artists’ entire lived experiences in her artistic search for identity.

This article discusses the dialectics of class identifications in the case of a shipbuilding community of workers in Greece. Unlike other working-class segments that went through the traumas of the recent economic crisis silently, the workers of Perama Zone attracted the attention of the public discourse on more than one occasion. The violent far-right activism that encroached on the formerly thriving industrial communities of the wider area have reopened an old discussion about the relationship of the working class with fascism. Analysing interview and ethnographic material, the article focuses on the discursive processes of class identity formation. Class as an (im)possible identity is examined through the lenses of sociological and psychodynamic distinctions between identity and identification drawing on the broader literature of cultural class analysis. The overarching aim of the study is to explore the opportunities and limitations of the far-right appeal when class is at work through affirmation and/or negation.

RESUMO: Este artigo apresenta a relação da personagem Arthur com as atividades na cozinha, mais precisamente a fabricação de pão e manteiga, como um modo de favorecimento de sua construção narrativa (seguindo as proposições da holandesa Mieke Bal) no romance The Solid Mandala (1966), do escritor australiano Patrick White, prêmio Nobel de Literatura em 1973. A partir de trechos selecionados, demonstramos como se dá essa atividade na trama e todas as repercussões advindas delas, destacando a socialização entre personagens, mas principalmente a constituição identitária de Arthur: é ele quem tem a “missão” de fazer esses produtos que, inevitavelmente, vão sustentar a ele e a seu irmão até o final de suas vidas (desse modo negando a “trivialidade” da atividade). Se esse romance demonstra o poder que a literatura possui de transcender a nossa mera existência em qualquer espaço, podemos fazer a mesma analogia com a culinária: a literatura está para a cozinha assim como a cozinha está para a literatura, alimentando seres. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Literatura Australiana, Patrick White, Cozinha, Personagem, Narrativa, Tradução. ______________________________ ABSTRACT: This paper analyses the relationship of the character Arthur with his activities in the kitchen, more precisely the baking of bread and churning of butter, as a way to favour his narrative construction in the novel The Solid Mandala (1966), by the Australian writer Patrick White, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973. From selected excerpts, we demonstrate how these activities takes place in the plot and all the repercussions coming from them, highlighting socialization among the characters, but mainly the identity formation of Arthur: he is the one who has the “mission” to make these products which, inevitably, will sustain him and his brother until the end of their lives (thus denying the “triviality” of such works). If this novel proves how powerful literature is in making us transcend our mere existence in any space, we can make an analogy with cooking: as literature is to cooking so cooking is to literature, nurturing beings.    KEYWORDS: Australian Literature, Patrick White, Kitchen, Cooking

This research presents a cross-domain exploration of leader identity. Drawing from theory about multidomain leader development and leader identity social processes, we examine how endorsement as a leader by those internal and external to work can impact an individual's own self-internalized sense of identity as a leader at work. Specifically, we examine how the collective endorsement of one's leader identity by family and friends in addition to work colleagues (managers, peers, and direct reports) influences the individual’s own self-internalized sense of identity as a leader at work. We also examine the relationship of the individual’s self-internalized sense of identity as a leader at work to enacted transformational leadership and contingent reward behaviors as rated by colleagues in the work domain. Data from a multisource and multidomain 360° evaluation of 256 leaders by 3,255 raters in the United States and Ireland provide support for the hypothesized relationships. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

This chapter examines the relationship of the microstructures of Kriolu phonemes and morphemes to Kriolu rap's narrative themes of discontented diaspora and unfulfilled membership. After providing a background on Kriolu language, the chapter explains how Kriolu rappers use language and how this might shed light into their identity work by highlighting Kriolu as an alternative to tuga (white Portuguese). It then asks why some Lisbon rappers sing in Kriolu rather than Portuguese, and how their use of language is effective in drawing attention to Cape Verdean projects of place-making and belonging. It also looks at Kriolu rappers' adoption of Hezbollah or favorable references to Palestine by citing the LBC/Soldjah song “Liberta Palestina.” It argues that the local language practices evident in Kriolu rap music illuminate an essential component of identity formation, namely, the ideological force of timeplace articulation, or chronotope.

<p><em>The Mandiri Securitas advertisement film is a corporate advertisement that contains a persuasive message to increase brand image as a leader in investment in the Stock Exchange or trusted banking investment in Indonesia. The metaphor in the Mandiri Securitas advertisement contains cinematographic images that borrow keris culture to be sided with banking culture. This qualitative descriptive study uses a semiotic approach to appropriate verbal and visual messages from the system of rhetorical marks "Minus One". The content of visual rhetoric and verbal rhetoric on the Mandiri Securitas advertisement was reviewed by Roland Barthes's semiotic theory, because it was considered capable of uncovering the relationship of the sign meaning behind the denotative marker system and connotative markers from the ideology of Mandiri Securitas advertisements with the  theme of empu keris (keris maker). The results of this study prove that the application of the "Minus-One" method is very helpful to find and recognize the roles played by the constituent elements of a film construction. The Mandiri Securitas advertisement film is an example of the appropriation of the tradition world for the benefit of the modern world. The tradition world is not displayed in its entirety as it is, but is displayed partially and determined based on the image of the modern world wants to construct as an imagery form of advertising.</em><em></em></p><p align="center"><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Metaphor, rhetoric, Semiotics, and ideology</em></p><p><strong> </strong></p>

In the article, the need for the development of cognitive abilities is discussed in accordance with modern needs in order to form creative personality. The authors consider such cognitive functions as perception, sensation, attention, memory, imagination, speech, which play an important role in the formation of creative thinking. Today, a decrease in cognitive functions in humans is a barrier to the development of creative thinking. The purpose of this article is to analyze the causes of cognitive decline, to order recommendations for addressing these causes and the development of cognitive abilities. The relationship between thinking and cognitive functions has been explained, reflecting the activity of the brain as a unified holistic structure. The sides of cognitive functions such as implicitness, relevance, selectivity and dependency have been highlighted. The idea of teaching pupils and students in educational institutions not only to the subject, but to the ability to listen, remember, concentrate and solve problems is put forward.
