Hmm. Compare/contrast 'engineer' V. 'technician'...

freenet.msp.mn.us

I thought the "technician" was the archetype...

[sports heros, film/music/entertainment/celebs, etc. are seen as Master Technicians-"fame" is the adventure]

"The technician's ego is thus alienated from his own body.
Men may glorify and obsessively preen their muscles, but what they glorify is an idealized male body removed from the realities of sensuality, tenderness, fatigue, aging, accident, and disease.

Such self-idealization is profoundly Narcissistic.

So is the preoccupation of the Vernean adventure (and most adventure stories) with the struggles between men who love each other but can only express it through violence, rather than embodied eros."
