The Feminine Case is a collection of papers that debate the issue
of gender from a Jungian perspective. Particular attention is paid
to the discussion of Jung's "transcendent function" and what this
offers women in the process of individualisation. Attention is also
given to the revisionist work of James Hillman and to relevant
issues found within post-Lacanian critique, principally in the
works of Julia Kristeva, Luce Irigaray and Helene Cixous. The
chapters deal with a range of issues and aim to promote further
discussion. One theme discussed in the book is the way in which
feminine language is formed within a masculine domain and how it
can and is changing. Works of literature, notably those of
Charlotte Bronte and The Tempest, are explored and examined in
conjunction with Jungian themes. The feminine in relation to the
maternal, and in its lack of relation to the divine, are two other
engaging topics discussed in this volume. This collection involves
the reader in a welcome debate on the role of the feminine in the
Jungian world.
