Jungian Arts-Based Research and the Nuclear Enchantment of New Mexico

<p><em>Jungian Arts-Based Research and The Nuclear Enchantment of New Mexico</em> provides clear accessible and in-depth guidance both for arts-based researchers using Jung's ideas and for Jungian scholars undertaking arts-based research. The book provides a central extended example which applies the techniques described to the full text of Joel Weishaus' prose poem <i>The Nuclear Enchantment of New Mexico</i> published here for the first time.</p><p>Designed as a how-to book <i>Jungian Arts-Based Research and The Nuclear Enchantment of New Mexico </i>explores how Jung contributes to the new arts-based paradigm in psychic functions such as intuition by providing an epistemology of symbols that includes the unconscious and research strategies such as active imagination. Rowland examines Jung's <i>The Red Book</i> as an early example of Jungian arts-based research and demonstrates how this practice challenges the convention of the detached researcher by providing holistic knowing. Arts-based researchers will find here a psychic dimension that also manifests in transdisciplinarity while those familiar with Jung's work will find in arts-based research ways to foster diversity for a decolonized academy. </p><p>This unique project will be essential reading for Jungian and post-Jungian academics and scholars arts-based researchers of all backgrounds and readers interested in transdisciplinarity.</p>
