Chapter 23—Literary Criticism, Meaning, and the Trickster

1 King James Version

For an idea of the range of structuralism, see Macksey and Donato (1970/1972), a collection of papers presented at a 1966 symposium at Johns Hopkins University.

As mentioned in the chapter on reflexivity, ethnomethodology used the same strategy to accommodate itself to the establishment.

With semiotics being raised, a short digression on Charles Sanders Peirce is warranted because of his connections with psychical research. Peirce’s father taught mathematics at Harvard, and Charles received a degree in chemistry from that university but worked as a physicist for 30 years for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Peirce was an anti-structural character in many ways. He held few and brief academic positions. He did not ingratiate himself to administrators, colleagues, or students, often refusing to keep appointments. Peirce inherited a bit of money that allowed him to purchase a house, but he did not have enough for an easy existence, and he complained that he could not afford books. He died poor and forgotten in 1914, and Edward Moore tells us that “Only William James did what he could to make Peirce’s final years easier.” (See American Pragmatism: Peirce, James, and Dewey by Edward C. Moore, 1961, pp. 21-22.)

Peirce published only one book in his lifetime, and that was on astronomical observations, but his many papers were collected years after his death and released in a series of eight volumes (1931—1958). The Charles S. Peirce Society is now devoted to his work, and it has published a professional journal since 1965. Peirce was far ahead of his time, and he understood that academic bureaucracy is conducive to neither scientific creativity nor inventiveness. He commented that “Wherever there is a large class of academic professors who are provided with good incomes and looked up to as gentlemen, scientific inquiry must languish.” (See Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce: Volume 1: Principles of Philosophy edited by Charles Hartshorne and Paul Weiss, Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1931, p. 22.) Peirce recognized something about the anti-structure required for innovation, and sociologist C. Wright Mills and others have since made similar observations (see Mills, 1959/1967, pp. 103-106.).

Peirce is most famous for the philosophical school of pragmatism, which he founded along with William James. Pragmatists had some impact on psychical research. In England, F. C. S. Schiller was pragmatism’s leading proponent, and both James and Schiller served as president of the Society for Psychical Research. Peirce contributed skeptical pieces to the Proceedings of the American Society for Psychical Research and his brother, Harvard professor and dean, James M. Peirce, was a member of the ASPR committee on thought-transference. (See Criticism on ‘Phantasms of the Living.’: An Examination of an Argument of Messrs. Gurney, Myers, and Podmore by C. S. Peirce, Proceedings of the American Society for Psychical Research, Vol. 1, No. 3, 1887, pp. 150-157; Mr. Peirce’s Rejoinder, Proceedings of the American Society for Psychical Research, Vol. 1, No. 3, 1887, pp. 180215. The reports of the ASPR committee on thought-transference, which J. M. Peirce signed, are found in Proceedings of the American Society for Psychical Research, Vol. 1, No. 1, 1885, pp. 6-9, Vol. 1, No. 2, 1886, pp. 106-112.)

This was Saussure’s and Barthes’ usage which is not shared by everyone in semiotics, a field with some confusion in its terminology.

16 Eco, 1967/1976/1979, p. 7.

Eco’s Limits of Interpretation opens with a discussion of John Wilkins’ Mercury; or, The Secret and Swift Messenger (1641) which was one of the very first to discuss mentalist methods (though this was not mentioned by Eco); Wilkins also favorably discussed communication with angels and spirits. He was no marginal figure but rather one of the original members of the British Royal Society.

spelling here.

Gates cannot be considered an advocate of deconstructionism, but he understands and utilizes its ideas. Gates was not the only African American scholar to recognize the importance of liminality in relation to the trickster figure. He specifically thanked Houston A. Baker, Jr., author of Blues, Ideology, and Afro-American Literature: A Vernacular Theory (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1984) for his writings on that. Baker is one of few who appreciated Barbara Bab-cock’s work not only on liminality and the trickster, but also her writings on re-

flexivity.

“Lacan died of postoperative complications after a tumor was removed from his intestines” (emphasis added, Schneiderman, 1983, p. 23). The connection of the trickster and intestines has been previously mentioned. In light of this ex

ample, one might recall that Harry Houdini, another trickster figure, died of appendicitis.

This might be extended with the ideas of Jungian psychologist Rafael Lo-pez-Pedraza (1977/1989, p. 61) who pointed out in Hermes and His Children that Hermes’ sacrifice was a true one whereas Prometheus’ was a fraud. Schneiderman, 1983, p. 58. 61 Kurzweil, 1980, p. 147.

See George and Krippner (1984) for a review article on imagery as a component of psychic experiences.

19 See Ring 1989, 1992.

Rojcewicz, 1989, 1991, 1993.

Ring, Rojcewicz, and Stillings were all involved with the New York Fortean Society (NYFS), which was organized by John Keel. Wolf acknowledged his intellectual indebtedness to Rojcewicz and Michael Grosso, another member of

the NYFS.

In passing, it should be mentioned that Corbin’s ideas have been adopted by a few in psychology. Notable is the book Invisible Guests: The Development of Imaginal Dialogues (1986/1990) by Mary Watkins. Mary Gergen, another psychologist, presented a paper at the 1987 American Psychological Convention entitled “Social Ghosts: Opening Inquiry on Imaginal Relationships.” Mary Gergen is wife of Kenneth J. Gergen, author of The Saturated Self: Dilemmas of Identity in Contemporary Life (BasicBooks A Division of HarperCollinsPublishers, 1991), which is one of the best books discussing postmodernity. Religious scholar Daniel C. Noel has also utilized the concept of the imaginal in his The Soul of Shamanism (1997).

Hansen, 1992b.

For a discussion of some imaginal creatures, in a couple of relatively reputable looking books, the reader may wish to examine Hilary Evans’ Visions, Apparitions, Alien Visitors (1984) and Gods, Spirits, Cosmic Guardians (1987).

25 Ring, 1992, p. 239.

For some comments on Ring’s The Omega Project, see the review by Karlis Osis, Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, Vol. 88, 1994, pp. 71—76.

Literature has the capacity to address matters that science cannot yet reach. Among others, this point was made by psychologist Lawrence LeShan in his The Dilemma of Psychology (1990). He frankly admitted that he found more insight

into people in great literature than in professional psychology.

This is also sometimes cited to explain the enjoyment of magic tricks, and

there too it is of little value.

Mitchell, 1993, p. 82.

See Mitchell, 1993, which cited A Group of Young Chimpanzees in a One-Acre Field by E. W. Menzel, Jr., In Behavior of Nonhuman Primates: Modern Research Trends edited by Allan M. Schrier and Fred Stollnitz, New York: Academic Press, 1974, pp. 83-153, see pp. 133-135.

Mitchell’s work on primates led him to address the broader issues of representation, simulation, communication, and the development of self-awareness. For some of Mitchell’s other work see Deception: Perspectives on Human and Nonhuman Deceit in 1986 (edited by Robert W. Mitchell and Nicholas S. Thompson, Albany, NY: State University of New York Press) and Anthropomorphism, Anecdotes, and Animals in 1997 (edited by Robert W. Mitchell, Nicholas S. Thompson, and H. Lyn Miles, Albany, NY: State University of New York Press). The academic establishment has long denigrated anthropomorphism, but it is slowly regaining some respectability.

9 Kottmeyer’s article emphasized pathological aspects and used some weak case material. Nevertheless, Kottmeyer deserves credit for recognizing a fundamental aspect of the UFO phenomenon. He understood that status loss was an important factor.

10 Jung’s opinion about UFOs has been a source of speculation among ufolo-gists. For a discussion of the controversies see “What Did Carl Gustav Jung Believe About Flying Saucers?” by Dennis Stillings, in Stillings, 1989 (pp. 33-49).

Both social masking theory and primal conflict repression theory involve blocking awareness of deception, deception that is generally healthy and adaptive.

Here again a linkage is seen between deception and psi.

Chapter 26—Conclusions

1 Telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and micro-PK do not seem to degrade as distance increases. Macro-PK does appear to be attenuated by distance. Very few macro-PK events occur more than a few meters from the PK agent.
