It combines an original student-friendly introduction to Jung, his life and work, his treatment of gender and the range of post-Jungian gender theory, with new research linking Jung to deconstruction, post-Freudian feminism, postmodernism, the sublime, and the postmodern body.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeminism has neglected Jung to its own detriment. While evaluating the reasons for this neglect, \u003ci\u003eJung: A Feminist Revision\u003c\/i\u003e uses the diversity of feminist critical tools from historical analysis to poststructuralism. In a fresh and illuminating study, this book provides both a critique of Jung and demonstrates his positive potential for future feminisms. New theories are explored which develop relationships between the work of Jung and Jacques Lacan, Luce Irigaray, H l ne Cixous, Julia Kristeva and Judith Butler. Particular attention is paid to the growth of post-Jungian studies of gender. This includes a cogent study of the tradition of Jungian feminism that looks to 'the feminine principle' and narratives of goddesses. Jungian 'goddess' feminism's enduring appeal is re-examined in the context of postmodern re-thinking of subjectivity and gender.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book proposes a re-orientation of Jungian studies in its relationship to feminism. The result is an accessible text that introduces Jung and sets out his relevance to contemporary feminisms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be essential reading for undergraduates and postgraduates studying feminist theory, psychoanalytical theory, literature and psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Rowland \u003c\/b\u003eis Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Greenwich\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50327792484626,"sku":"9780745625171","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a63afc56-29b6-434a-9632-f30a4f975b2b.jpg?v=1727720603","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/jung-the-politics-of-redemption-9780745625171","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
