why i have the same memories as my sisters
wikipedia's quick and dirty definition of c.g. jung's notion of collective unconscious: "a reservoir of the experiences of our species.". (wish that article was longer/better--i might write something up myself.)
emile durkheim/l'ame collective (collective conscience):
"Durkheim believed that the collective conscience was a psychological entity that, although carried by members of a society, superseded individual existence and could not be explained in terms of individual behavior. Once called into existence (through a process Durkheim called social condensation) it had a life of its own and operated by its own rules. In other words, the collective conscience was not contained within an individual organism; it was superorganic."
(McGee, John R. and Richard L. Warms. "The Foundations of Sociological Thought" in Anthropological Theory: An Introductory History. 2009:McGraw-Hill.
i really think that these two concepts are imperative to realian mental architecture, and, particularly, to joachim's creation of the kirschwassers' consciousness/es. i know that the database (in episode I at least) makes a few references to jung, but i can't help but wonder if the creators were reading some durkheim, too?
i will expand upon this a lot, probably at the expense of real academic work (._.) when i'm not running off to get some lunch before work.
but~! this also offers me a way to utilize the multiple kirschwasser canons (in game, anime, and DS) and construct them more linearly in the memory of one character. hooray :D
