The Subconscious Punctle

Foregoing my expoundation on The Jungian Jungle: The Archetypal Punctle, I am obliged to make public my theoretical leanings—though I permit myself such a confession with the resolute, unwavering Esperanza that those readers from whom a diatribe against Jungian analysis may flurry forth (indubitably a product of that healthy academic libido native to the doctorial mind) shall be sweet-tempered in their refutation, for I am but a wounded bird that quakes in the wake of a certain raging synesthete’s laceration of self-consciousness; indeed, victory in the cerebral Tourney of the Ego (woeful the innumerable losses us citizens of Academia have endured through such violent jousting) was of a gilded nature and forth must I trot a Britomarian gait, ever-parrying phallic inquisition.

Yes, Post-Jungian woe is me!

Forget us not that "In the beginning there was pause" and following this pause emerged the word—indeed, the textual identity is fleshed forth via the “me-we"” binary: the punctles: the archetypal symbols ubiquitous—the subconscious of a content; and the word: the conscious dimension comprised of the rational impulse to differentiate a particular work from countless others.

Thus content-identity issues forth.
