We Don't Speak of Fear
When foundation matrices move—challenges for a group analysis of our time
This lecture explores the recent and further to be expected radical changes in our nowadays world, asking for the implied consequences—for every organization/community on all levels, for every person—as well as for us as group analysts. To understand the underlying processes reference is made to the work of Karl Mannheim and Foulkes’ concept of the foundation matrix. The emotional strain of reworking its basic dimensions—as group boundaries, gend…
Sailing on an ocean of associations—response to Juan Tubert-Oklander
When I was invited to respond and perhaps to add something to Juan Tubert-Oklander’s rich lecture and Earl Hopper’s further elaborations, I felt honoured to speak to this audience and to share with you some of my thoughts
Response to Jacinta Kent’s ‘The Dynamic Foundation
The fluid and the solid—or the dynamic and the static
The concepts of the foundation matrix, social unconscious, and large group identity could all be understood in terms of a continuum from the fluid to the solid. Foundation matrix clearly emphasising a process character and then the concepts gradually turning to phenomena that are considered to be more stable. Excluded from discourse and negotiation, they tend to be static or even untouchable, though nonetheless they are still embedded in the over…
(Foundation-)Matrix Reloaded—Some Remarks on a Useful Concept and Its Pitfalls
In a preliminary remark those brilliant—mostly Jewish–German speaking intellectuals of the 20th-century in central Europe are acknowledged, who formed the background—the matrix—from which Foulkes developed his ideas of matrix and foundation matrix. After recalling the definition and summarizing the notion of foundation matrix, this concept is discussed, comparing it to other theories that aim at large scale transpersonal processes, namely the ‘so…
The Matrix of the Values
Self-esteem and the Process of its Reassessment in Multicultural Groups
Based on the assumption that one dimension of each group is the ongoing struggle for personal recognition, the thesis is made that in groups of multicultural/multinational composition it is possible to study how personal self-esteem reflects on a social order and the own respected place therein. Group members from different social orders (cultures) are confronted with the task to work out the significance/meaning/value of basic dimensions such as…
The Foundation Matrix - A Useful Fiction
In this article, the author focuses on Foulkes’s concept of the foundation matrix, re-examining its heuristic value in a theory of unconscious processes, trying to outline what could be the ‘contents’ of the foundation matrix as well as to formulate the related media of communication. Emphasis is laid on the significance of bodily communication, including gestures and rituals as conceptualized by the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu as ‘habitus’
