What if the Soul Were a More-Than-Human Village?
Diffracting Active Imagination in a Post-Humanist World
Recorded Monday 8 February 2021
With Bayo Akomolafe
Active Imagination Seminar Series
Jung’s active imagination is believed to be the heart of his massive contributions to depth psychology and central to his psychotherapeutic enterprise. There are many guides on how to experiment with active imagination – the process of making dreamed images objectively intelligible in a process of healing and transformation.
READ MORE...Lingering in many descriptions of this process, codified after Jung’s death, is a reflexive method that involves “going inward” to correspond with the images behind dream-induced emotions. However, in light of post-humanist insights to critical theory and the subsequent annulment of the coherent soul, where do we draw the line between what is “inward” and “outward”? Who is the dreamer? What roles do the non-human “furniture” around us play in the production of images, and how do we account for their work?
