The COVID-19 pandemic has roused the apocalyptic fear that was foreseen in religious prophecies. This research will focus on the post-9/11 and pre-COVID-19 disaster films, in an attempt to understand the representation and pre-presentation of the collective disaster psychology. Aligned with Jungian film studies, this essay regards films as a convergence of generations’ collective unconscious. It aims to construe the ways that apocalyptic archetypes appear and are elaborated in contemporary films, in hope of recognizing the new apocalyptic aesthetics formed in the interval between the two disastrous events. Consistent with the meaning in classic doomsday narratives—the revelation of Christianity, the cycle of Buddhism, the purification in Mesoamerican myths, etc.—the archetypes in these films are found to have carried a dual connotation of destruction and rebirth. Through empirical cinematographic style, these archetypal images are revealed in an immersive way. Disaster films from this time place emphasis on death itself, fiercely protesting against the stagnation of life, and in turn triggering a transcendental transformation of the psyche. Unlike those in the late 1990s, viewing the doomsday crisis through the lens of spectacularity, disaster in these films is seen as a state of body and mind, and death a thought-provoking life experience.

Archetypal Images

In our article, we paid attention to the history of the concept of archetype, studied and analyzed the concepts of archetypal plot, motive, and stopped at its place in literature, mythology, psychology, and culture. We paid special attention to the work of the Swiss scientist-psychologist C. G. Jung, who introduced the term archetype into science and studied it in psychological, philosophical, and cultural aspects. Having identified the first archetypal images shown by Jung, we made an analysis, giving importance to the role of the concept of" collective unconscious " in the archetype. In addition, we determined the scientific significance of philological research. The concepts of archetypal plot and archetypal motif introduced by the Russian scientist Meletensky were defined, and examples of archetypal motifs and plots in mythology were given. We have analyzed the concepts of myth and archetype, citing the scientific justifications in the literature. The development of the mythical motif in the works of modern Kazakh writers requires a detailed study of the concept of archetype. At all times, literature cannot separate itself from its original source – myth. Since the Archetype is closely related to mythology, we believe that the importance of this topic is very high today.

АНАЛИЗ МАНИПУЛЯТИВНОГО ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ АРХЕТИПОВ КОЛЛЕКТИВНОГО БЕССОЗНАТЕЛЬНОГО / ANALYSIS OF THE MANIPULATIVE USE OF THE ARCHETYPES OF THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS

В статье анализируются особенности манипулятивного воздействия в контексте активации и актуализации архетипических образов коллективного бессознательного, делается попытка рассмотреть и связать процесс манипулятивного воздействия с механизмами действия соответствующих архетипических образов. Рассматривается связь между развертыванием манипулятивного воздействия и активизацией архетипа Хаоса. Анализируется корреляция между манипулятивными стратегиями и соответствующим бессознательным содержанием образов коллективного бессознательного. Демонстрируются две области и сферы манипулятивного применения архетипических образов (реклама, политика). / The article analyzes the features of manipulative influence in the context of activation and actualization of archetypal images of the collective unconscious, and attempts to consider and link the process of manipulative influence with the mechanisms of action of the corresponding archetypal images. The connection between the deployment of manipulative influence and the activation of the Chaos archetype is considered. The correlation between manipulative strategies and the corresponding unconscious content of images of the collective unconscious is analyzed. Two areas and areas of application of archetypal images (advertising, politics) are demonstrated.

Lattice Resolution

Scanned probe microscopes (SPM) have been widely used for studying the structure of a variety material surfaces and thin films. Interpretation of SPM images, however, remains a debatable subject at best. Unlike electron microscopes (EMs) where diffraction patterns and images regularly provide data on lattice spacings and angles within 1-2% and ∽1° accuracy, our experience indicates that lattice distances and angles in raw SPM images can be off by as much as 10% and ∽6°, respectively. Because SPM images can be affected by processes like the coupling between fast and slow scan direction, hysteresis of piezoelectric scanner, thermal drift, anisotropic tip and sample interaction, etc., the causes for such a large discrepancy maybe complex even though manufacturers suggest that the correction can be done through only instrument calibration.We show here that scanning repulsive force microscope (SFM or AFM) images of freshly cleaved mica, a substrate material used for thin film studies as well as for SFM instrument calibration, are distorted compared with the lattice structure expected for mica.

New Perspective

This paper describes the concept of teaching articulation through words which have inherent meaning to a child’s life experience, such as a semantically potent word approach. The approach was used with six children. Comparison of pre/post remediation measures indicated that it has promise as a technique for facilitating increased correct phoneme production.
