Russell, Jake. 2014. How Archetypal Images in a Dan Deacon Music Video are a Reflection of Deacon's Values -- In Proceedings: 10th Annual Symposium on Graduate Research and Scholarly Projects. Wichita, KS: Wichita State University, p. 149

Abstract

The video for Dan Deacon's song "Woof Woof" demonstrates the dangers of grandiosity and how to battle grandiosity through relationships. Based on research - including Carl Jung's works "Man and His Symbols," "Psychology and Alchemy," and "Aspects of the Masculine/Aspects of the Feminine;" neo-Jungian Robert Moore's "Facing the Dragon;" and an interview with the creator of the music video, Ben O'Brien - the essay uses archetypal images to show how the video demonstrates the dangers of grandiosity and how to battle grandiosity through relationships. The paper, which is part of a larger forthcoming work, argues that specific images in the video reflect Deacon's values unconsciously.
