Dionysus, god of dismemberment and sponsor of the lost or abandoned
feminine, originates both Jungian psychology and literature in
Remembering Dionysus. Characterized by spontaneity, fluid
boundaries, sexuality, embodiment, wild nature, ecstasy and chaos,
Dionysus is invoked in the writing of C. G. Jung and James Hillman
as the dual necessity to adopt and dismiss literature for their
archetypal vision of the psyche or soul. Susan Rowland describes an
emerging paradigm for the twenty-first century enacting the myth of
a god torn apart to be re-membered, and remembered as reborn in a
great renewal of life. Rowland demonstrates how persons, forms of
knowing and even eras that dismiss Dionysus are torn apart, and
explores how Jung was Dionysian in providing his most dismembered
text, The Red Book. Remembering Dionysus pursues the rough god into
the Sublime in the destruction of meaning in Jung and Jacques
Lacan, to a re-membering of sublime feminine creativity that offers
zoe, or rebirth participating in an archetype of instinctual life.
This god demands to be honoured inside our knowing and being, just
as he (re)joins us to wild nature. This revealing book will be
invigorating reading for Jungian analysts, psychotherapists, arts
therapists and counsellors, as well as academics and students of
analytical psychology, depth psychology, Jungian and post-Jungian
studies, literary studies and ecological humanities.
