Drawing on Fromm’s critique of Freud’s analysis of Dora, but also going further, I argue that associating Fromm and contemporary feminist thought is particularly important in the context of growing authoritarianism on the right and sometimes as reflected also on the left. The article elaborates upon five points of ‘psychosocial compatibility’ between Fromm’s humanistic vision and the ideas of several well-known feminist theorists including Simone de Beauvoir, Nancy Chodorow, Jessica Benjamin and others. The five points of psychosocial compatibility addressed between From and contemporary feminisms as addressed here are: connecting the personal and the political while stressing the prefigurative; kindred issues concerning objectification and self-love; emphases on relatedness and the pre-oedipal stage of human development; concerns about multi-dimensionality and intersectionality; and shared political beliefs aimed at overcoming gender and other oppressive inequalities.

This paper theorizes Fromm's return to scholarly influence now, offering analysis of both his reputational fate in light of the rise of global Trumpism and right wing-populism and the value of the tools his unique merger of Freud, Marx and sociology offers in the contemporary moment.

N2 - [Chinese abstract not available] Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) is renowned as one of the most outstanding American playwrights in the 20th century. >The Night of the Iguana<, written in 1961, depicts the ambivalent figure of Reverend Shannon, who yearns for social acceptance yet refuses to be bound by its norm. In the twentieth century, the social structure of America changed greatly due to the development of capitalism, and the conflict caused by the cultural difference between the North and the South forms one of the common themes in Williams’ works. With the prevalence of capitalism and the change of modern mainstream ideology, those who have changed some of the old ideas, whereas have not been completely assimilated into modern thought, represented by Shannon, are portrayed as the social marginals struggling with inner contradictions in Williams’ works. Based on Erich Fromm’s theory of freedom, this thesis interprets >The Night of the Iguana< by analyzing Shannon’s contradictory thoughts and behaviors in his process of pursuing individual freedom. It attempts to present how the marginalized people in modern capitalist society realize the freedom of individual’s full expression of his real personality by resisting the spiritual paralysis and oppression in society. This thesis consists of three parts. Firstly, it analyzes the protagonist’s self-consciousness against social knowledge, and explores the way to get rid of the automaton conformity by revealing the protagonist’s subversion of several stereotyped images perceived by the society. Subsequently, it discusses how Shannon establishes non-utilitarian interpersonal relationship under the influence of modern capitalist society. Then this thesis focuses on the natural setting in the play, exploring how the marginalized people who are isolated due to social exclusion build their secondary bonds with nature, so as to obtain spiritual salvation. Shannon’s pursuit of individual freedom exposes the shackles that the mainstream ideology of capitalist society imposes on modern people’s individuality. In addition, his exploration of both the internal and external world provides the possibility to break the shackles and realize the freedom of individual’s full expression of his real personality.

[Online ISSN 2459-3842] [ejournals.epublishing.ekt.gr/index.php/Conatus/article/view/31971/24631] N2 - Pornography, especially in its compulsive form of viewing, is closely linked to ways of managing and reducing stress. Pornographic realism, which is the contemporary form of pornographic representation, is based on technological innovations such as photographic and digital recording of sexual reality. The description of the character of the two forms of recording demonstrates the historical development of pornographic realism. Moving away from pure psychology, we can discern in the field of human sciences the specificity of the relations between pornography and stress reduction through the distinction between the Principle of Pleasure (Lustprinzip) and the Principle of Reality (Realitätsprinzip) at the collective level or otherwise in the space of the co-being (Mitsein). On the other hand, the distance of sexual need from hunger and the plasticity of the former makes pornography a practicable way of dealing with the contradictions of ordinary existence. In sum, the above articulation explains how pornography makes the world of sexual satisfaction go hand in hand with coping with and managing stress.

Dessa forma, é oferecida também uma perspectiva diferente do argumento que defende a existência de um antimaterialismo relacionado ao conceito >essência<.

[Online ISSN 2322-6307] [amazoniainvestiga.info/index.php/amazonia/article/view/1186/1075] N2 - This article analyzes the methodological issues of the study of the phenomenon of social character. Social character is considered not as a typical (modal) individual character in society. As a systemic formation of social interactions, social character has non-additive (emergent) properties. Both individuals and various social communities are subjects of social character. At the individual level, social character is manifested as typical behavior traits in the process of communicating with different social groups. At the level of interpersonal, intergroup and mass communication, social character is a typical form of social interaction. Social character is the result of the mutual influence of subjects on individual behavior in the form of persuasion, suggestion, imitation and infection. The article analyzes the methods of measuring social character. It presents a test developed by one of the authors (R. B Shaikhislamov) to measure the degree of inner-, tradition- and other- directedness (according to D. Riesman’ stypology). The results of the measurement of social character in the course of interviewing residents of the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2015-2016 are presented. The authors come to the conclusion about the need for a comprehensive study of social character. The following problems are of great scientific interest. What are the emergent properties of social character in stable and unstable social situations? What are the trends of changes in the social character of Russians in the post-Soviet era? How significant are the differences in the social character of different generations, ethnic groups, residents of megacities, other cities and villages? We note that it is necessary to develop a system of indicators to measure social character. In addition to such indicators as inner-, tradition- and other-directedness, it is necessary to measure social character by such variables as >dominance – subordination<, >productivity – non- Productivity<, >responsibility – irresponsibility<, >cooperation – isolation<, >trust – distrust<, >Conformity – Innovation – Ritualism – Retreatism – Rebellion<. N2 - В данной статье анализируются методологические вопросы изучения феномена социального характера. Социальный характер рассматривается не как типичный (модальный) индивидуальный характер в обществе. Как системная формация социальных взаимодействий, социальный характер обладает неаддитивными (эмерджентными) свойствами. Как индивиды, так и различные социальные сообщества являются субъектами социального характера. На индивидуальном уровне социальный характер проявляется как типичные черты поведения в процессе общения с различными социальными группами. На уровне межличностного, межгруппового и массового общения социальный характер является типичной формой социального взаимодействия. Социальный характер является результатом взаимного влияния субъектов на индивидуальное поведение в форме убеждения, внушения, подражания и заражения. В статье анализируются методы измерения социального характера. В нем представлен тест, разработанный одним из авторов (Р. Б. Шайхисламов) для измерения степени внутренней, традиционной и другой направленности (по мнению Д. Рисмана). Представлены результаты измерения социального характера в ходе опроса жителей Республики Башкортостан в 2015-2016 гг. Авторы приходят к выводу о необходимости комплексного изучения социального характера. Следующие проблемы представляют большой научный интерес. Каковы возникающие свойства социального характера в стабильных и нестабильных социальных ситуациях? Каковы тенденции изменения социального характера россиян в постсоветский период? Насколько значительны различия в социальном характере разных поколений, этнических групп, жителей мегаполисов, других городов и деревень? Отметим, что необходимо разработать систему показателей для измерения социального характера. Помимо таких показателей, как внутренняя, традиционная и иная направленность, необходимо измерять социальный характер с помощью таких переменных, как >доминирование – подчинение<, >производительность – непроизводительность<, >ответственность – безответственность<, >сотрудничество – изоляция<, >доверие – недоверие<, >соответствие – инновация – ритуализм – ретритизм – восстание<.
