Miller explains that there have always been connections between art and science, but these connections only took the form of ideas in the first half of the 20th century. It was in the second half of the century that practical engagement between the two began. The redefini-tion of the relationship is a 21st century development.

5 Archetypes, the Unconscious, and Psychoanalysis

1 . Peter Gay, Freud (New York: Anchor Books, 1989): 128. 2 . Freud’s complete works remain in press today as Sigmund Freud, The

Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud , 24 vols. (London: Vintage, 2001). The Interpretation of Dreams was first published in 1900 and comprises volumes four and five of the complete works; The Psychopathology of Everyday Life followed in 1901 and comprises the sixth volume.

3 . Gay, Freud : 104. 4 . See, for example, Peter Gay’s section on ‘Mapping the Mind,’ in Freud :

10 . Sigmund Freud, An Autobiographical Study , vol. 20, Standard Edition (London: Hogarth Press, 1925): 17.

11 . While much of the summary of psychoanalytical terms here is not conten-tious and is widely recognised in the field, I do acknowledge the work of Alan A Stone in summarising the basic concepts, especially Freud’s. For Freud, I particularly acknowledge the work of Peter Gay, notably, Freud .

12 . Here I invoke, in spirit if not in detail, the work of Claude Lévi-Strauss, and especially his The Raw and the Cooked (published in French in 1964 as Le Cru et le cuit ). See Claude Lévi-Strauss, The Raw and the Cooked (New York: Harper, 1969).

13 . See Richard Howells, The Myth of the Titanic , second ed. (Basingstoke, Hampshire and New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012). Here I also argue for the importance of understanding the related concept of ‘social amnesia’ (see especially 186–8).

14 . Gay, Freud : 322. 15 . Ibid. 16 . Ibid., 323. 17 . Ibid., 129. 18 . This is a concept I also discuss in Howells, The Myth of the Titanic : 94.

The aphorism is often attributed to Leo Löwenthal and subsequently used by others of the Frankfurt School. See Leo Löwenthal, Critical Theory and Frankfurt Theorists , Communication in Society (New Bunswick, NJ: Transaction Pubishers, 1989): 51. For subsequent use, see, for example, Patrick Brantlinger, Bread and Circuses: Theories of Mass Culture as Social Decay (Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press, 1983): 172. Bratlinger in turn cites Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination (Boston: Little Brown, 1973): 173. Jay uses the quotation as an epigraph.

speculates that Fry may not have been aware of the technical distinctions between the unconscious and the subconscious. See Rubin, Roger Fry’s ‘Difficult and Uncertain Science’: 179 (n). To be fair, Fry was not alone in failing to distinguish between the unconscious and the subconscoius.

74 . Kenneth Clarke continued to believe that subject matter was of primary importance in fine art; Herbert Read followed the Jungian idea that symbolism reflects the universality of the unconscious. See Rubin, Roger Fry’s ‘Difficult and Uncertain Science’: 211–18.

75 . Vision and Design was later published in revised form in 1925. My references are to the posthumous Pelican edition of Vision and Design (1937).

9 Conclusion: The Republic of Heaven

1 . Philip Pullman, The Amber Spyglass (London: Point/Scholastic Children’s Books, 2001): 431.

2 . Ibid., 432. 3 . Pullman, ‘The Republic of Heaven,’ The Horn Book Magazine , November/

December 2001. 4 . Ibid. 5 . Pullman further confirmed in an interview at the National Theatre that when

the Authority dies in The Amber Spyglass , he is effectively a dying symbol. See the interview with the author, Olivier Theatre, 9 January 2004 in Robert Butler, ed. Darkness Illuminated (London: National Theatre and Oberon Books 2004): 48–65, 57.

6 . Ibid., 57. 7 . In Pullman’s trilogy, Pantalaimon is a ‘dæmon’: a friendly animal companion

that everyone has and in whose personality they are mutually reflected. It is not to be confused with a demon. The dæmons of children can take any number of changing animal forms, but finally fix on the approach of adult-hood. In Lyra’s case, her dæmon Pantalaimon eventually takes the fixed form of a pine marten. This is a brief explanation for interest’s sake; it does not directly affect the concept of the republic of heaven.

8 . Philip Pulllman, The Amber Spyglass (London: Point/Scholastic Children’s Books, 2001): 548.

9 . ‘The X-Files’ was a long-running (1993–2002) US television drama. 10 . Pullman, ‘The Republic of Heaven.’ 11 . The punctuation is as in the original. 12 . Pullman, ‘The Republic of Heaven.’ 13 . Ibid. 14 . Philip Pullman in conversation with Rowan Williams, then-Archbishop of

Canterbury, Olivier Theatre, London, 15 March 2004, as transcribed and moderated by Butler in Butler, Darkness Illuminated , 93.

15 . Cited in Nicholas Tucker, Darkness Visible (Cambridge: Wizard Books 2003): 124.

16 . Ibid., 126. 17 . Ibid., 129. 18 . Ibid., 128. 19 . Ibid. 20 . Butler, Darkness Illuminated , 89. 21 . Ibid., 121. 22 . Ibid., 160. 23 . Pullman, ‘The Republic of Heaven.’ 24 . Ibid. 25 . Ibid. 26 . Ibid. 27 . Ibid. 28 . JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series is another example of this. Although her

greatest literary strength is not in character or dialogue, she certainly knows how to tell stories – and stories which contain ideas with moral force.
