Climate change, populism, pandemics, fake-news and post-truth, war, energy crisis, inflation, and recession. But, also social justice, sustainability, ecology, integration and diversity.
With the advent of the 21st century, we have entered - bypassing what the German sociologist Ulrich Beck (1996) called the 'risk society' - what the Italian sociologists Chiara Giaccardi and Mauro Magatti call 'the age of shocks', where the reality around us (now called super-society) is increasingly shaped by our relationship with technology (algorithms), and as we are pummeled by climactic shocks, political shocks, and the shocks of mass migration and war, we are left with less opportunity to enter into depth.
Hence, the question arises: Can we nurture the soul within the framework of a super-society? Is it feasible to embark on the path of individuation in an era dominated by technology, algorithms, and Artificial Intelligence?
The proposed panel brings together internationally recognized thought leaders, authors, and analysts to take a hard look at the relevancy of Analytical Psychology today. It offers an opportunity for “imagining the future” of analytical psychology and explore the trajectory of moving from Jungian to Post-Jungian to Neo-Jungian studies. This endeavor aims to collectively envision the future of our field, bridging C.G. Jung's scholarship with the socio-cultural challenges of the 21st century, and even setting the "Agenda 2050" for Analytical Psychology.
This panel (preferably a plenary), is built around a set of questions Stefano Carpani (moderator) will pose to the three speakers (Verena Kast, Tom Kelly, Karin Fleischer), and the discussion that will arise. Additionally, this panel wishes to incorporate current students and the audience into this discussion. They will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the speakers (or even answer Carpani ´s initial questions).
