Unconscious
Can be understood as “another mental domain … with its own unfamiliar logic … that releases messages, or at least images, into the conscious mind” (Mansfield 2000, p. 27). A vast chamber within human psychology that is inaccessible by the conscious. It is argued to possess an individuals inner desires, feelings and emotions, and can exert its influence over the conscious mind in multiple ways, including images (pleasant/threatening), dreams, jokes or slips of the tongue, commonly known as 'Freudian slips'. Below you can see the vast and mysterious realm of the unconscious existing in the shadow of the conscious.

Creative Influence
Creative influence involves significantly impacting an individual, or a mass of people, in such a way that it affects their conduct, personality or development in their pursuit in whatever creative environment. Creative influence can inspire, spark innovation, generate new perceptions of the world, and produce new solutions or ideas. It can also be the very motivation behind a persons desire to partake in a particular creative field.
An example of a successful creative practitioner drawing inspiration from another person is painter, Francis Bacon, who harnessed great influence from artist, Pablo Picasso – “Picasso is the reason why I paint” (Bacon).

Subjectivity
Subjectivity is “the condition of being a person and the process by which we become a person; that is, how we are constituted as subjects (biologically and culturally) and how we experience ourselves” (Barker 2007, p 218). Recently, humans have been referenced to as the “subject”. Two meanings can be extracted from this word: a persons individuality or conscious, and the ability to be dictated by another person.
This perspective challenges the traditional meaning of “individual”. “I” is not autonomous or self-ruling, but is prone to manipulation by external forces (economical, social, cultural), and internal forces (unconscious).
What makes you you?

Essentialism
Essentialism is the belief that ones identity is based within oneself and is “endowed with the capacity of reason, consciousness and action” (Hall et al. 1996,. p. 597).
Our identity is our core, a core that is unbounded by time and is something that we all own. It is the essence of an individual.
As a result of this imbued essence, it is presumed that a person possesses an innate and predetermined identity from which all of their characteristics and personalities are based upon, and is also permanent/unchangeable from birth to death. The following video provides a well-explained review of essentialism.

Overdetermination
According to Freudian theory, developed by Sigmund Freud, it is postulated that all psychological, as well as cultural, material is overdetermined. That is, all behaviour, including the most bizarre and frivolous (biting your nails), are “the focus and expression of the most plural and deep psychological complexity” (Mansfield 2000, p.29).
When such strange and unexpected behaviour occur, we observe immense mental energy from the unconscious being used in the smallest behavioural actions. This is due to a psychological barrier, known as “repression”, restricting the expression and fulfilment of unconscious ideas.
This process of repression causing overdetermination can be observed below.

Sensory Knowledge
Sensory knowledge can be understood as using the senses of the human body to detect and register information from the world and acquiring knowledge. An example of this is Ichi una, “skin knowledge” used by the Cashinahua of Eastern Peru, where they inherit information and meaning through the feeling of the natural environment.
It is also believed that it is not only the skin that possesses the ability to do this, this 'bodily intelligence', but all organs of perception are able to yield some form of knowledge of the world.
Of course, with the intake of physiological information comes aligning it with worldly and moral values.

Authenticity
Being authentic means possessing genuineness and sincerity to oneself. An effective brand of authenticity has come from J.J Rousseau's book, 'Confessions'. Confessions has allowed individuals to critically analyse oneself, as well as acting as a pathway for self-expression which may lead to an understanding of personal truth. This truth of ones identity and towards one identity are hallmarks in expressing authenticity. “My purpose is to display to my kind a portrait in every way true to nature, and the man I shall portray will be myself... I know my own heart and understand my fellow man” (Rousseau 1953, p. 17).

Creative Identity
Creative identity is what defines or reflects ones personal imaginative faculty or original and authentic ideas. Truisms within western culture have inhibited genuine freedom/fulfilment for individuals through the pressures of society. Through abandoning these societal burdens can an individual acquire freedom and fulfilment, hence gaining free expression and a sense of creative identity. See image below.
Creativity, as Arnold Schoenberg said, should be a “representation of myself (identity)”. Schoenberg utilised a method of musical self-reflection, the spontaneous recording of musical ideas, that enabled him to compose a stream of conscious.

“true freedom and fulfilment can only be gained be rejecting social pressures, and by giving individuality uninhabited expression” (Mansfield 2000, p. 18).

Fractured Identity
Fractured identity means to own not one, but multiple, sometimes opposing or indecisive, identities, as opposed to the single, concrete identity believed in essentialism. This fragmentation of identities is also known as the ‘postmodern’ subject, and presumes that humans apply a different identity at different moments, which do not revolve around a coherent self. “Within us are contradictory identities, pulling in different directions, so that our identifications are continually being shifted about” (Hall, 1992b: 277).
Throughout life there are a magnitude of identities that one may assume depending on the social or environmental context. This is effectively conveyed in the image below.
