ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that using the lens of Deleuzian and nomadic philosophy to re-read Jung’s definition of individuation can provide useful tools to overcome the liberal individualism discourse implicit in its historical definition. It explores an alternative connection to the relational and feminist psychoanalysis. The chapter explores the possibilities of creating a third symbolical dimension, embedded in the matrix of relational experiences and conditioned by specific social legal and political constrictions that can emerge from the meaningful encounter of individuals and new environments. Throughout citizens entire path of individuation, especially if moving started in their childhood, refugees, migrants, and global nomads can face several questions lingering constantly in their mind. As its psychological counterpart, a state of mind of global citizenship can emerge as a positive result of the transcendent function supporting the individuation process. The process of individuation and construction of an integrated self might be experienced as a real challenge for people on the move.
