Description
Avoided with a formulaic dread of his `mysticism' and unread lest the contagion of his thoughts influence and infect the orthodox, Carl Jung has, since his break with Sigmund Freud, been excluded from both psychoanalytic discourse and those schools of literary criticism influence by psychoanalysis. But this very exclusion has shaped the discourse in these schools. Indeed, many of Jung's analytic writings and many of the writings of the Developmental Jungians are parallel to work by contemporary ego psychologists and feminists, and could contribute to those fields. Jung's exclusion, therefore, serves as a perfect case study of the state of Marginalization, its effects, and its powers.
Divided into two parts, Tabooed Jung focuses on both Jung's marginalization itself and the effects of that marginalization on notions of power and feminism. Arguing that Jung's situation foreshadowed the contemporary disenchantment with Freud and things Freudian, Gallant argues that there is less difference between Jung and today's critics than the critics themselves might think. She concludes with an argument for Jung's inclusion in the ongoing dialogues of psychological and feminist criticisms, as one whose work proceeds along congruent lines.
