C. G. Jung understood the anima in a wide variety of ways but
especially as a multifaceted archetype and as a field of energy. In
Anima and Africa: Jungian Essays on Psyche, Land, and Literature,
Matthew A. Fike uses these principles to analyze male characters in
well-known British, American, and African fiction. Jung wrote
frequently about the Kore (maiden, matron, crone) and the "stages
of eroticism" (Eve, Mary, Helen, Sophia). The feminine principle's
many aspects resonate throughout the study and are emphasized in
the opening chapters on Ernest Hemingway, Henry Rider Haggard, and
Olive Schreiner. The anima-as-field can be "tapped" just as the
collective unconscious can be reached through nekyia or descent.
These processes are discussed in the middle chapters on novels by
Laurens van der Post, Doris Lessing, and J. M. Coetzee. The final
chapters emphasize the anima's role in political/colonial
dysfunction in novels by Barbara Kingsolver, Chinua Achebe/Nadine
Gordimer, and Aphra Behn. Anima and Africa applies Jung's African
journeys to literary texts, explores his interest in Haggard, and
provides fresh insights into van der Post's late novels. The study
discovers Lessing's use of Jung's autobiography, deepens the
scholarship on Coetzee's use of Faust, and explores the anima's
relationship to the personal and collective shadow. It will be
essential reading for academics and scholars of Jungian and
post-Jungian studies, literary studies, and postcolonial studies,
and will also appeal to analytical psychologists and Jungian
psychotherapists in practice and in training.
The One Mind: C. G. Jung and the Future of Literary Criticism
explores the implications of C. G. Jung's unus mundus by applying
his writings on the metaphysical, the paranormal, and the quantum
to literature. As Jung knew, everything is connected because of its
participation in universal consciousness, which encompasses all
that is, including the collective unconscious. Matthew A. Fike
argues that this principle of unity enables an approach in which
psychic functioning is both a subject and a means of discovery-psi
phenomena evoke the connections among the physical world, the
psyche, and the spiritual realm. Applying the tools of Jungian
literary criticism in new ways by expanding their scope and
methodology, Fike discusses the works of Hawthorne, Milton,
Shakespeare, Wordsworth, and lesser-known writers in terms of
issues from psychology, parapsychology, and physics. Topics include
the case for monism over materialism, altered states of
consciousness, types of psychic functioning, UFOs, synchronicity,
and space-time relativity. The One Mind examines Goodman Brown's
dream, Adam's vision in Paradise Lost, the dream sequence in "The
Wanderer," the role of metaphor in Robert A. Monroe's metaphysical
trilogy, Orfeo Angelucci's work on UFOs, and the stolen boat
episode in Wordsworth's The Prelude. The book concludes with case
studies on Robert Jordan and William Blake. Considered together,
these readings bring us a significant step closer to a unity of
psychology, science, and spirituality. The One Mind illustrates how
Jung's writings contain the seeds of the future of literary
criticism. Reaching beyond archetypal criticism and postmodern
theoretical approaches to Jung, Fike proposes a new school of
Jungian literary criticism based on the unitary world that
underpins the collective unconscious. This book will appeal to
scholars of C. G. Jung as well as students and readers with an
interest in psychoanalysis, literature, literary theory, and the
history of ideas.
