Jung and Ravenna
Jung traveled to Ravenna twice. When that was, and exactly with whom has been debated. This article retraces those travels, their timing and context, and the impact the city’s late antique monuments had on Jung.

As he subsequently reca…

But what if this reading of the ancient myth was, in itself, a narcissistic misreading? In this article, the author addresses one of her primary research interests: how a comparative reading of medieval hermene…
