GRGR(12) - The Repressed (1)

[Richard Romeo]

David Morris sed:>
>The Repressed will be significantly featured again in GRGR(13), but until
>then:
>
>The Repressed generates the monster, the mutation.  The monster, King Kong,
>is presented here as the inevitable, like Godel's proof.  It is the direct
>reaction to an insistence on maintaining Control through Repression of 
>those
>things which don't fit our ideal.  The Repressed is "dark," like King Kong
>and the Schwartz-commando, because it is the "shadow" in Jungian terms.  It
>is the part of ourselves that we wish to deny.
>
>But repression does not make the shadow-monster go away.  The Repressed 
>will
>not be denied.  When the repression is pushed to its furthest limits the
>result will be possession by the Repressed.  The Repressed will take over
>the mind and body, forcing the subject to admit its existence.  Or as with
>the Schwartz-commando, it will emerge from the hidden recesses of the
>collective-repression into the physical world.

Anybody read Borges' review of King Kong in the new non-fiction volume?
