This book puts forth a “decolonial option” to C. G. Jung’s work as part of a new overview of his thoughts and writings.
Challenging traditional Eurocentric views of the psyche, it presents a novel interpretation of Jung’s theories through the concept of archetypal intersubjectivity, Indigenous mythology, and dream analysis based on diatopic hermeneutics. Using myths, and specifically an archetypal story from the Huni Kuin (also known as Kaxinawa) people, it examines how mythic narratives are conceived from an emotionally charged experience and further conceptualizes these narratives as an important psychic archive to help people make sense of raw emotions.
A fresh and lively exploration of C. G. Jung’s work, this book will appeal to scholars and students with interests in Indigenous mythologies, Jungian studies, dream analysis, decolonial studies, and depth psychology.
