  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Remembering Dionysus

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisDionysus, 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 crTrade ReviewPerhaps it is a staple of a living organic mythology that periodically it be remembered anew, complete with all the divinities that inhabit and inhibit it as the myth continues to flourish. Susan Rowland’s fine lyrical study returns to recalibrate the value of two related schools of a psychology of soul by opening them to a conversation with the mytho-poetic imagination. Her own mythodology is framed by the god Dionysus, both a force and a presence who dismembers, remembers and in so doing engenders new ways of imagining what we thought we knew. Her original work dares us to enter a cross-disciplinary discourse that awakens us to the familiar. - Dennis Patrick Slattery, Ph.D.; author of Riting Myth, Mythic Writing and Creases in Culture: Essays Towards a Poetics of Depth‘In this new work Susan Rowland has given us a true gem. One of the foremost contemporary scholars in Jungian studies, Rowland has produced another remarkably engaging, erudite volume that continues to take depth psychological approaches out of the consulting room and into a larger world. The intersection of literature and myth being woven here is also artfully integrated into the emerging holistic paradigm associated with complexity studies. Rowland creatively advances Jungian studies revealing the depths of its transdisciplinary possibilities through her exploration of archetypal themes manifesting as Dionysian.’ - Joe Cambray, Ph.D., Provost, Pacifica Graduate Institute; Past-President, IAAP‘That Jung was an intellectual in the tradition of Nietzsche, who dismembered his relation to the academy in order to create, in equally epigrammatic fashion, an intuitive critique of the very foundations of our understanding, not just of the texts by which we live, but of the way our lives have become texts, has been crucially grasped by Jung’s most antischolastic follower, James Hillman. It is Susan Rowland, however, who makes good on the claim that this method of analysis has a future within the rigorous discipline of literary studies. One can only hope that she will be read with as open a mind as she displays in these well-wrought, lapidary chapters. Refocusing literary theory through a Dionysian rather than Apollonian lens, she identifies as her subject the vivifying experience of reading itself.’ - John Beebe, author of Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type: The reservoir of consciousness (Routledge, 2017)'Susan Rowland is herself a paragon of interdisciplinary scholarship, who has brought Jungian depth psychology into critical, creative relationship with literary studies, gender studies, cultural studies, eco-criticism, and much more. In the present book she uses the myth of Dionysus, importantly culminating in the god’s marriage to the mortal Ariadne, as a zone of energy and awareness from which to argue against disciplinary and epistemological hegemonies and the cultural dismemberment they perpetuate. Performing as well as comprehending psychological insights from Jung and Hillman, Rowland champions transdisciplinarity, vitality, and the multiplicity and open-endedness of knowledge and being.' - Professor Roderick Main, University of Essex'Susan Rowland's new study expands on a Dionysian concept as she defines it toward a transcendent discussion of genre, aligning it to the god, and finessing her theme that Jung was writing novels, the highest form for her, and epitomising the feminine. Establishing this and demonstrating it in her characteristic and brilliant close-up analyses of text, which is her forte, makes this is a satisfying and enigmatic work.’ - Leslie Gardner PhD, co-founder of international literary agency Artellus, and founder member of IAJS, Fellow at the Centre Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex, UK“In an early example of this kind of transdisciplinary method, Rowland imagines the complementary nature of close reading and active imagination. Despite the supposed scientific nature of active imagination and the literary source of close reading, she finds both to be complementary means of interpretation, ways of awakening the soul buried within the data.” - Richard M.
