Jung's Wandering Archetype
Is the Germanic god Wotan (Odin) really an archaic archetype of the Spirit? Was the Third Reich at first a collective individuation process? After Friedrich Nietzsche heralded the "death of God," might the divine have been reborn as a collective form of self-redemption on German soil and in the Germanic soul? In Jung’s Wandering Archetype Carrie Dohe presents a study of Jung’s writings on Germanic psychology from 1912 onwards, exploring the links between his views on religion and race and providing his perspective on the answers to these questions. Dohe demonstrates how Jung’s view of Wotan as an archetype of the collective Germanic psyche was created from a combination of an ancient d...
The Afterlife of Race
In The Afterlife of Race, Lionel McPherson demystifies the Western concept of "race" and reframes race ideology in America as a caste device that sponsors absurd pretexts for inherited slavery, enforced segregation, and the wilful nonrepair of historical injustice. This reframing paves the way for an anti-caste vision of social equality that emphasizes the moral importance of Black American national specificity--not general antiracism, identity politics, or diversity "of color." The result is a non-racial, non-exclusionary account of Black political solidarity that would welcome everyone who supports reparative justice for Black American "blacks" as descendants of American slavery.
Religious Environmental Activism
This volume explores how religious and spiritual actors engage for environmental protection and fight against climate change. Climate change and sustainability are increasingly prominent topics among religious and spiritual groups. Different faith traditions have developed "green" theologies, launched environmental protection projects and issued public statements on climate change. Against this background, academic scholarship has raised optimistic claims about the strong potentials of religions to address environmental challenges. Taking a critical stance with regard to these claims, the chapters in this volume show that religious environmentalism is an embattled terrain. Tensions are an in...
Explorations in the Interpretation of Samuel
The volume consists of 21 essays from an international group of scholars. The volume is broken into two parts: Reading Samuel with the Hebrew Bible, and beyond the Hebrew Bible. Each section will offer readings of portions of the Book of Samuel that engage with other texts. The chapters are arranged in the order of the narrative sequence of Samuel to highlight the way reading with other texts can inform a reading of the Book of Samuel.
Carl Jung
Swiss-born Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) was one of the pioneers of psychology, largely responsible for the introduction of now-familiar psychological terms such as “introvert,” “extrovert,” and “collective unconscious.” But in spite of this, Jung has often remained on the fringes of academic discourse. Seeking to understand Jung in view of not only his life, but also in light of his extensive reading and prolific writing, this new biography reclaims Jung as a major European thinker whose true significance has not been fully appreciated. Paul Bishop follows Jung from his early childhood to his years at the University of Basel and his close relationship—and eventual break—wit...

Political Passions and Jungian Psychology
In this book, a multidisciplinary and international selection of Jungian clinicians and academics discuss some of the most compelling issues in contemporary politics. Presented in five parts, each chapter offers an in-depth and timely discussion on themes including migration, climate change, walls and boundaries, future developments, and the psyche. Taken together, the book presents an account of current thinking in their psychotherapeutic community as well as the role of practitioners in working with the results of racism, forced relocation, colonialism, and ecological damage. Ultimately, this book encourages analysts, scholars, psychotherapists, sociologists, and students to actively engage in shaping current and future political, socio-economic, and cultural developments in this increasingly complex and challenging time.
Homegrown Hate
"Why are American citizens--white nationalists and militant Islamists--committing acts of terrorism against their own country? What are their worldviews and how do they compare? Why is the current counterterrorism paradigm not working, and what can be done to address this increasingly transnational peril from within? Homegrown Hate is a groundbreaking and deeply researched work that directly juxtaposes militant Islamism and white nationalism in the United States. By examining the self-described grievances, beliefs, and rationales of the individuals who subscribe to these ideologies and detailing their respective organizational structures, scholar and activist Sara Kamali provides compelling insight into the true threat to homeland security: American citizens who are targeting the United States in accordance with their respective narratives of holy war. She expertly explains what can be done, lucidly providing hope in uncertain and divisive times. Innovative and engaging, Homegrown Hate is an indispensable resource for students, policy makers, and anyone who cares about the future of the United States"--.
The Musician As Philosopher
"From 1958 to 1978 in New York a series of atmospheric irruptions emerged in the history of music, fraught with dissonance, obscurity, and volume. Beyond expanding musical resources into dissonance and noise with a familiar polemical edge, a group of musicians were thinking with sound: crafting metaphysical portals, aiming one to go somewhere, to get out of oneself. For many artists and thinkers of the postwar period, the self was taken to be ideological, given, normal. Their strange, intense, disorienting music was a way out, beyond, through the other, through the collective, through an ecstatic mystery. Their work had material underpinnings: radios, amplifiers, televisions, multi-track rec...
