ABSTRACT

This book began at a conference by the River Thames in London, July 2006. In the hot summer air and green trees of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, ‘Psyche and Imagination’ was held in conjunction with the University of Greenwich, and was the first independent conference of the International Association of Jungian Studies (www.jungianstudies.org). A ground-breaking venture of Jungian scholarship, the conference sought to expand the definition of academic endeavour by including at its heart, poetry readings, a visual arts exhibition and drama, in the marvellous shapes of the world premiere of the English version of Armando Nascimento Rosa’s play, An Oedipus (2006).
