ABSTRACT

Ariadne, the mythical woman who symbolized anima not just for Nietzsche, but also Deleuze, is generally recognized for helping the heroic Theseus escape the Minotaurs labyrinth by providing him with a long piece of thread to help him find his way back. Ariadne somehow seems to be key to piecing together the fragments of our future her thread of Eros draws these pieces together like Hogarths serpentine curves. Its political manifesto is not a series of proclamations and rules, but the exegesis of a process outlining the psychological and political travail necessary to encourage effective participation in the circle. In the intra-action between the realm of representation and the unconscious author accepted the idea that such material practices can have an impact on the unconscious. Metaphorically, Jung's story describes the need to walk the labyrinth in terms of an intra-action between the world and the psyche, rather than simply materializing them in the realm of representation.
