Objectif : Cette étude qualitative vise à décrire les effets revitalisants d’un protocole de Danse Mouvement Thérapie chez une patiente en rémission d’un cancer du sein, Mme Magnolia (66 ans).
Matériel et méthodes : Mme Magnolia participe à un atelier de Danse Mouvement Thérapie composé de dix moments d’expérience corporelle. Nous utilisons d’abord le logiciel T-LAB Plus 2018 (version 4.0.2.7) pour le calcul des associations de mots lemmatisés (cooccurrences) ensuite une interprétation de la narration selon l’approche de Carl Gustav Jung et de Rollo May.
Résultats : La narration de Mme Magnolia peut s’organiser à travers cinq catégories d’expériences corporelles impliquant l’activation de l’archétype du Puer Aeternus ou Enfant divin. Plus précisément, nous avons identifié : « L’effort et le courage de se jeter et s’ouvrir au monde », « Renouer avec le corps et ressentir son éveil », « La mise entre parenthèses de la maladie, générant un sentiment de liberté », « Le plaisir de danser en lien avec un sentiment d’être acceptée », « Le plaisir de danser en lien à l’évocation nostalgique d’un temps lointain ».
Conclusion : Nous pensons que « le travail psychique avec la Danse Mouvement Thérapie » peut non seulement éloigner le patient du fardeau de la maladie (symptômes, plaintes, gènes et douleurs physiques), mais aussi générer des expériences corporelles revitalisantes (sensation de liberté physique, éveil psychocorporel, sentiments d’ouverture au monde) et une narration riche d’éléments symboliques.
People with schizophrenia have marked emotional and relational difficulties, such as those with eye contact where there is a markedly strong tendency to avoid looking frontally at others appears when occupying a shared space with strangers. A prominent feature of emotional dysregulation in schizophrenia is clinically evident in blunted affect, often observed as reduced emotional expressivity alongside the individual's report of normal or heightened emotional experience. This study uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches in order to explore a crucial, largely unexamined, aspect of the Positive and Negative Valences of the Human Body in Schizophrenia 2 embodied experience of emotions: the front-back axis of the body image in its association with positive or negative emotional words (e. g., Joy, Pleasure, Tenderness, Anger, Anxiety, Fear, and so on). We demonstrate that this spatial axis (front-back) of the body image constitutes two principal emotional narratives. One views the front of the body as conflictual and dangerous, and the other apprehends the back as more reassuring, pleasurable and calming. This kind of emotional narrative, conceptualized within Conceptual Metaphor Theory, explains the findings.
This paper describes “Kalos, eîdos, skopeîn,” an immersive Dhrupad-based dance installation designed to elicit feelings of awe in the spectators, in a real-life artistic context. This study used a mixed-methods approach in order to explore spectators’ awe experience (N=45), using specific scales and interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results suggested that “Kalos, eîdos, skopeîn,” with its combination of nature motifs and the slow dance-walk associated with the Dhrupad music in the choreography, was able to produce awe-related moments in some spectators and inspire a degree of positive emotions. Our qualitative results viewed awe explicitly as a positive emotion and showed that generally the spectator narratives, involving the whole performance, were based on modified states of consciousness. Three themes emerged: the main theme is “A rich experience of modified states of consciousness” involving the whole performance, and two interconnected sub-themes “Captivated by the slowness of the dancers” associated with the slow movement and “I can still hear the mantra in my head” in rapport with Dhrupad music. This study was carried out as part of the Canadian FRQSC/FCI Project (2019-RC2-260306).
