WHAT DOES ARCHETYPAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Archetype

The concept of an archetype /ˈɑrkɪtaɪp/ is found in areas relating to behavior, modern psychological theory, and literary analysis. An archetype can be: ▪ a statement, pattern of behavior, or prototype which other statements, patterns of behavior, and objects copy or emulate; ▪ a Platonic philosophical idea referring to pure forms which embody the fundamental characteristics of a thing; ▪ a collectively-inherited unconscious idea, pattern of thought, image, etc., that is universally present in individual psyches, as in Jungian psychology; ▪ or a constantly recurring symbol or motif in literature, painting, or mythology. In the first sense, many more informal terms are frequently used instead, such as "standard example" or "basic example", and the longer form "archetypal example" is also found. In mathematics, an archetype is often called a "canonical example".

Definition of archetypal in the English dictionary

10 QUOTES WITH «ARCHETYPAL»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word archetypal.
1
Scott Adkins
I'm good when I've got a bit of an edge, like the Clint Eastwood type of archetypal character. The tough guy that doesn't say a lot.
2
Jonas Armstrong
Robin Hood is often seen as the hands-on-hips, archetypal, tally-ho hero. But, realistically, the one calling the shots wouldn't be at the front shouting about it. He'd be the one you don't expect.
3
Hans Urs von Balthasar
Prior to an individual's encounter with the love of God at a particular time in history, however, there has to be another, more fundamental and archetypal encounter, which belongs to the conditions of possibility of the appearance of divine love to man.
4
Harrison Birtwistle
One thing I've tried to do in writing music is take on very basic things, very archetypal things.
5
Deepak Chopra
You have to think of your brand as a kind of myth. A myth is a compelling story that is archetypal, if you know the teachings of Carl Jung. It has to have emotional content and all the themes of a great story: mystery, magic, adventure, intrigue, conflicts, contradiction, paradox.
6
Dennis Gabor
The most important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes, but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday.
7
Frank Grillo
A film that I love is 'Deliverance' from back in the day. You start out with these archetypal characters - the hero, the bookworm, the pacifist - and by the end, it's all turned upside down. I love that.
8
Frank Grillo
What I look for in a role is the physical. But what's the journey emotionally? Can I take this person who is this archetypal tough guy and find the beauty?
9
Marina and the Diamonds
Blonde symbolises sexuality and power - it holds very different connotations. The archetypal star has always been blonde.
10
John Mahoney
I didn't want to be the archetypal sponging brother-in-law, so I didn't go into acting when I got to the States. I thought, 'No, I'll go to school and then I'll be an English teacher; that'll be fun.' But I was horrible as a teacher. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't inspire those kids to take an interest in Milton and Shakespeare and Donne.
