Abstract

The word ‘psychodynamics’ is here not addressed to Freudian traditionalism but to the context of feedback networks. Processes of acculturation are herein related to those of slow hypnosis, with the attendant nexus of posthypnotic suggestions involving subtle feedbacks. The processes and how they operate through different states of consciousness will be explored in terms of a psychodynamic sociology and anthropology.
