| Extra Info | : | A series of 10 Seminars leadered by Dr Tommaso Priviero. The posthumous publication of the Red Book (2009) set forth a revolution in Jung studies, by attracting a growing wave of interest in Jung at popular and academic levels and sparking new ways of understanding Jungian psychology, in contemporary theory and practice. Throughout the over 16 years timespan it took Jung to compose the Red Book, he became deeply involved with the reading of Dante’s Commedia, which inspired him at existential, hermeneutical and psychological levels. He found in Dante’s transformative journey a blueprint for his own radical experience of self-transformation and the prototype for his conceptualisation of a “science of visions”. He regularly annotated entries from the Commedia into his own “book of visions” and offered interpretations of Dante’s experiences in many of his scientific works. Jung’s enduring confrontation with Dante is the subject of Priviero’s Jung, Dante, and the Making of the Red Book: Of Fire and Form (with a Preface by S. Shamdasani) and the inspiration for the present seminar: a thematic immersion into the symbols and existential states which constitute a journey of self-regeneration. |
