'''Symbolism''' is the applied use of symbols: iconic representations that carry particular conventional meanings. |
|||
The term "symbolism" is limited to use in contrast to "[[representationalism]]"; defining the general directions of a linear [[spectrum (disambiguation)|spectrum]] - where in all symbolic concepts can be viewed in relation, and where changes in context may imply [[systemic]] changes to individual and collective definitions of symbols. "Symbolism" may refer to a way of choosing representative symbols in line with abstract rather than literal [[property|properties]], allowing for the broader interpretation of a carried [[Meaning (semiotics)|meaning]] than more literal concept-representations allow. A [[religion]] can be described as a language of concepts related to human [[spirituality]]. Symbolism hence is an important aspect of most [[Religious symbolism|religions]]. |
|||
The interpretation of abstract symbols has had an important role in [[religion]] and [[psychoanalysis]]. As envisioned by [[Sigmund Freud]] and [[Carl Jung]], symbols are not the creations of mind, but rather are distinct capacities within the mind to hold a distinct piece of information. In the mind, the symbol can find free association with any number of other symbols, can be organized in any number of ways, and can hold the connected meanings between symbols as symbols in themselves. Jung and Freud diverged on the issue of common cognitive symbol systems and whether they could exist only within the individual mind or among other minds; whether any cognitive symbolism was defined by innate symbolism or by the influence of the environment around them. |
