C. G. Jung & the Modernist Revolution with Roula-Maria Dib
August 1, 2024 at 08:32PM
In this episode, Patricia Martin interviews Roula-Maria Dib, creative writer and literary scholar, who views Carl Jung as a modernist and has written about the power of the modernist moment in history to give rise to the discipline of psychology. Her book, Jungian Metaphor in Modernist Literature, creates a new context for understanding Carl Jung’s work and his most important theories: the context of the collective in which he lived. In this discussion, they touch on:
* The development of Modernism
* Finding wholeness through art
* Jung’s Collected Works & his literary sense
* Active imagination
* The symbol
* The collective unconscious
* Deconstruction and integration
* Reading the Jungian way
