Rothenberg

• 1. Rothenberg examined the creative process
  through extensive psychiatric interviews and
  experiments with artists and scientists.
• 2. Unlike the subjects of many other
  psychoanalytic researchers, his subjects were not
  patients in therapy, but willing participants in
  a research effort.

3

• 3. Rothenberg identified specific thought
  processes that he believed are used by creative
  people across disciplines.
• 4. These processes distinguish creative people
  from the rest of us.
• 5. The first of these he called the janusian
  process (after Janus, the Roman god of doorways
  and beginnings, whose two faces look in opposite
  directions).
• 6. The second is the homospatial process.

4
The Homospatial Process

  is the homospatial process, conceiving of two or
  more entities occupying the same space at the
  same time.
• 2. This is the process leading to the development
  of metaphors.

Janusian Thinking ?????????

• According to Rothenberg (1990),
• Conveyed most meaningful by a visual symbol
  called tai-chi tu rather than words, yin and
  yang represent universal opposite forces or
  principles, loosely stipulated as female and male
  principles, respectively, functioning together as
  a single larger principle. The two forces of yin
  and yang are encompassed within the single
  circlethe circle denoting all of reality or all
  of the universeand they are identical but
  opposed.

7

• As implied by their placement and interlocking or
  flowing form within the circle, they operate
  together and in dynamic accord. The single larger
  principle emerging from the interaction and
  simultaneous operation of yin and yang is,
  according to Taoism, responsible for all change
  in the universe. Yin and yang are the regulators
  of the four seasons and, by extension, all moral
  effects. In short, they are the major factors
  underlying everything.

8

• The initial Janusian notion of simultaneous
  opposition or antithesis has been further
  elaborated into a religious creation, a highly
  complex and detailed theology extending beyond
  the core concept. (p. 141)

Janusian Thinking ???????

• oxymoron (?????)is one of the quintessential
  examples of Janusian thinking in language arts.
• Oxymoron is a rhetorical figure in which opposite
  and inconsonant terms are combined, for example,
  noisy silence, sweet burdens, jumbo shrimp,
  passive aggression, idiot savant, little giant,
  flawless imperfection, virtual reality, extensive
  briefing, least favorite, mournful optimist, wise
  folly, and so forth.

23

• With an intriguing etymology, the word oxymoron
  first showed up in English around the 17th
  century. In ancient Greek, oxus means pointed,
  keen or sharp, whereas moron means foolish or
  dull. Interestingly, the word oxymoron is itself
  an exemplar of oxymoron because it literally
  means pointedly foolish or sharply dull.
• On the surface, oxymoron may appear irrational,
  illogical, self-contradictory or even
  preposterous. However, at a deeper layer it often
  makes sense, is sometimes well-founded and
  profoundly true.

24

• Truth is always paradoxical.
• Lao-Tzu
• The test of a first-rate intelligence is the
  ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at
  the same time, and still retain the ability to
  function.
