Description
Zusammenfassung: "The aim of this anthology is to establish Emma Jung (1882-1955) as a contributor to the development of Jungian analytical psychology and an intellect and creator in her own right. As the life and work partner of C. G. Jung, one of the most prominent intellectual figures of the twentieth century, Emma Jung kept most of her creative life and written reflections private. The material in this anthology-housed mainly at the Jung Family Archive, a closed collection-reveal her as an imaginative and irreverent spirit, bent on interrogating her social environment and developing her own systems of meaning. Her work reflects the avant-garde thinking of a women's circle she helped to create, a century ago, within the Zurich Psychological Club. The book includes journal entries, lectures, a verse play, a narrative poem, a selection of shorter poems, and articulations of the author's symbolic cosmology. A long section, containing narrations of and commentaries on Emma Jung's own dreams and fantasies, is supplemented by her poetry and paintings. Many of the writings in this collection shed light on her as early collaborator in the founding of analytical psychology, and her dream journals even suggest that she originated the concept of "animus", known as one of C. G. Jung's central constructs. These writings are accompanied by an extensive editorial apparatus, including an introduction by the co-editors, explanatory annotations, a table of central events in the author's life, and a bibliography"--(Provided by publisher.)
