Jung, Irigaray, individuation : philosophy, analytical psychology, and the question of the feminine
Forfatter(e): Gray, Frances
Denne boken fremlegger hvordan Platons forestilling om det feminine som uorden gjenspeiles i Jungs forestilling av anima. Forfatteren Frances Gray tar for seg hvordan Luce Irigaray i sitt arbeide utfordrer dette synet.
Fra forlagets omtale:
This work postulates a novel and unique relationship between Carl Jung and Luce Irigaray. Its central argument, that an ontologically different feminine identity situated in women's embodiment, women's genealogy and a women's divine is possible, develops and re-figures Jung's notion of individuation in terms of an Irigarayan woman-centred politics. Individuation is re-thought as a politically charged issue centred around sex-gendered difference focussed on a critique of Jung's conception of the feminine.
Jung, Irigaray, Individuation brings together philosophy, analytical psychology and psychoanalysis in suggesting that Luce Irigaray's conception of the feminine is a critical re-visioning of the open-ended possibilities for human being expressed in Jung's idea of individuation. This fresh insight will intrigue academics and analysts alike in its exploration of the different traditions from which Carl Jung and Luce Irigaray speak.
