“…The problem of individual-author identity formation for individuals of creative professions is becoming more and more relevant in scientific works of recent years. Adams (2006) substantiates the connection between sublimation and artistic-identity formation. Artistic-identity formation within the study is considered as one of the components of individual-author identity of future teachers of music.…”

The current article is an attempt to reveal the theoretical and practical foundations of the formation of individual-author identity of future teachers of music. In addition, to explore the basic vectors and factors of the concept of “I” in the paradigm of Self-Identity + Musician & Creativity Identity. The development and realization of experimental model of training of students for the purpose of individual-authorial identity formation became a tool of the aim realization. Research methods: formative experiment, online questionnaire using Google Forms, self-reflection survey with combined type questions and essays, statistical generalizations and complex data analysis, generalizations. Individual-authorial identity is interpreted within the experimental model of training as a set of complex connections between the individual “I” of the student and music as an art. In addition to important qualitative data obtained during the final stage of the experiment, it was also found that the average level of academic success in the experimental group was 17.8%–21.6% higher than the level of the parallel group, which worked on the usual educational model. 35.2% of respondents successfully work as a music teacher in educational institutions of different levels (against the average of 8.5-20.9%). Individual-author identity affects the effectiveness of learning and contributes to the formation of professional orientation. It focuses on a creative approach to teaching music and conscious development of creative abilities. The following research should focus on further testing of the proposed training model.

“…This can be achieved through the practice of sports, but also through artistic production. As such, it corresponds to the original meaning of the word, used in the context of alchemy and which describes the mythical process of transforming lead into gold (Adams 2006). It constitutes the core of the definition, as the subject actively transforms his subjective painful experience into something that is valuable to others (Metzger 2014).…”

“…In addition to belonging to the eight most effective coping mechanisms, humor and sublimation also have in common the characteristic of using creativity to deal with the vicissitudes of everyday life. Humor generates amusing perspectives about painful situations (Farrelly and Lynch 1987;Hollander 2012); sublimation turns lead into gold by producing works of art that are valuable to others (Adams 2006;Metzger 2014). These creative mental mechanisms allow to lower anxiety while at the same time continuing to deal with reality with an "optimal adaptation in the handling of stressors" (DSM-IV 1994: 752).…”

How does a human being deal with suffering? How can we emotionally cope with the vicissitudes of life, especially in times where they suddenly multiply themselves? In this study, we present an innovative interdisciplinary study on the use of coping mechanisms by career writers dealing with difficult life events. We focus in particular on the use of humor and sublimation, two creative mental mechanisms that contribute to the lowering of anxiety while at the same time dealing constructively with the external stressors. Never before have these mechanisms been studied in a complementary way in the context of a literary study. This paper offers an in-depth analysis of Reinaldo Arenas' The Color of Summer. In this novel, this Cuban author introduces an autobiographical perspective of the Cuban sixties and seventies, intending to present a facet of history that would never appear in Cuban history books. The combination of both coping mechanisms, which we call humorous sublimation, offers a novel that not only helped the author cope with his tormented life, but also allowed the reader to gain an understanding of a dark period of Cuban history by means of a very funny and surreal reading.

Freud brought the term sublimation into psychoanalytic discourse in an 1897 letter to Wilhelm Fliess, in which he described culture and the libidinal drive as essentially antagonistic and conceptualized sublimation as a filter for primal memories. However, the concept, as well as the word, has significant pre‐Freudian origins. The idea that the containment of desire might yield cultural fruit dates at least to the Greeks, and the understanding of sublimation as a transformation of one substance into another is derived from ancient Egyptian and medieval alchemy (and resembles Wilhelm Ostwald's turn‐of‐the‐century ideas about the transformation of energy). Although Freud's goal in developing sublimation was to bridge mind and culture, his interest in the concept also was an expression of the anxieties about sexuality that were common in the Victorian era and that shaped the lives and work of, among others, Henry James, G. Stanley Hall, Thomas Mann, and Gaston Leroux, the author of the 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera .
