Description

Jung: A Feminist Revision explores the relationship between feminist theory and Jungian studies. This accessible text introduces Jung's life and work, his treatment of gender, and the range of post-Jungian gender theory. It also examines new research linking Jung to deconstruction, post-Freudian feminism, postmodernism, and the sublime. The book provides a fresh perspective on Jung by using feminist critical tools from historical analysis to poststructuralism. It critiques Jung while demonstrating his positive potential for future feminisms, exploring relationships between his work and key thinkers such as Lacan, Irigaray, Cixous, Kristeva, and Butler. This study of the tradition of Jungian feminism is also examined, including its enduring appeal in the context of postmodern re-thinking of subjectivity and gender. This book will be essential reading for undergraduates and postgraduates studying feminist theory, psychoanalytical theory, literature, and psychology, offering a new understanding of Jung's relevance to contemporary feminisms.
