HOLLY GOLDBERG SLOAN’S COUNTING BY 7’S APPROACHED VIA BACHELARD’S AESTHETICISM AND KELLY’S PERSONAL CONSTRUCT THEORY

Summary/Abstract: The paper expands upon issues related to the ego and the dual knowledge of the body and heart in Holly Goldberg Sloan’s Counting by 7’s. To tackle this topic, Bachelard’s concern for the phenomenological approach to images, in the sense of employing an approach to the conscious and unconscious sides of human personality and Kelly’s Personal Construct Theory have been chosen as methodological interpretative lenses, the latter through the Kellian constructs of threat, fear, guilt, anxiety, certainty, hostility, aggressiveness and his corollaries based on the fundamental postulate that a person’s processes are psychologically channelized by the way in which he or she anticipates events.
