The object of one's study A narrative perspective may be adopted, so as to determine the processes at stake in the building or perception of a character: how is the literary character's identity constructed and what are its relationships to other literary features? Literature, according to Moleong as quoted by Spadlex (2000:13), is the knowledge which is earned by human beings arise conduct and it is used to reflect and express experience. Indeed, in fields such as psychology and psychoanalysis, identification is an essential building process of identity that remains opposed to individualization and resembles the psychological projecting mechanism. In particular, many cultural industries have developed a fascination with the 'creative class' as the representation of its lifestyles, values, agency and other features have become a prominent theme in contemporary Russian literature, While scholars, including Slavicist Mikhail Epstein, have recently devoted much attention to the “crisis in the humanities,” our conference will turn to the many ways in which “the human” has been perceived, re-imagined, interrogated, and critiqued. Date: Thu, 10 May A "hardy" congratulations to Bernard Paris, who has been an inspiring analyst of literary character to many of us over the years. He is author of numerous books, including Rereading George Eliot; Imagined Human Beings; Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels; and Karen Horney: A Psychoanalyst's Search for Self-Understanding. Psychology is a branch of science of which its object of study is human beings because psyche or psycho is defined as soul. Analyzing a literary work based on psychology is a possibility. Paris What fascinates me most about literature is I have discussed Karen Horney's place in psychoanalytic thought in my 1994 biography of her, and I have defended various aspects of my psychological approach to literature in previous critical works (Paris 1974, 1978b, 1986a, 1991a, 1991b).
