Following the publication of C. G. Jung’s Liber Novus, the exhibitions that have been held exhibiting Liber Novus Ptogether with some of Jung’s visual works (Rubin Museum, New York, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, Library of Congress, Washington D.C., Rietberg Museum, Zurich, Musee Guimet, Paris, Bodmer Museum, Geneva and the Venice Biennale), and the more recent appearance of the Foundation’s volume on The Art of C. G. Jung (2019), we wanted to further explore and revisit in an original way the theme of the relationship between analytical (or complex) psychology and artistic creativity. To this end, Phanês 3 (2020), brings together four different approaches to our given theme: those of a historian, an art historian, a theologian, and a psychoanalyst (the last one in French). Phanês thus wishes to mark once again its commitment to welcoming contributions from scholars with diverse backgrounds and in languages other than English—granted Jung is handled from a rigorous, historical perspective. First, Martin Liebscher (UCL, Department of German), in ‘When the Great Mother Met the Harlequin: Jung and Neumann on Art, Archetypes and The Spirit Of The Times,’ explores Jung’s ambivalent relationship with Modernism, and tries to answer the question as to why, differently from Jung, Erich Neumann was able to welcome Modernism wholeheartedly. The second article, ‘From the Instinctual to the Cosmic: Jung’s Exploration of Colour in The Red Book, 1915-1929/30’ by Diane Finiello Zervas (IGAP), is entirely dedicated to Jung’s exploration of, and reflection upon colour while going through his Red Book experience. As the paper shows both through a historical analysis and via several reproductions of images from The Red Book, such exploration is crucial in shaping Jung’s later colour symbolism, as it appears in his published works. In ‘What really happened in Ravenna? C.G. Jung and Toni Wolff’s Mosaic Vision’, Ronald Huggins (Th.D, formerly professor of New Testament and Greek at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri, and professor of Historical and Theological Studies at Salt Lake Theological Seminary, Salt Lake City, Utah) reconstructs the famous Ravenna episode, and shows how what Jung claimed to have seen there was actually real, albeit mis-recalled and misinterpreted. The article is also accompanied by pictures taken by the author, aimed at conducting the reader in this reconstruction of the notorious episode. The fourth article, ‘À propos du Libro dei sogni de Federico Fellini. PHANÊS Vol 3 • 2020 ii Crash et deuil sur la page. Un curieux problème de datation’, by Christian Gaillard (Société Française de Psychologie Analytique, former president of the International Association for Analytical Psychology, and former professor at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris), analyses the Italian filmmaker’s Libro dei sogni (Book of Dreams) and brings out fascinating connections with Jung’s Red Book. Once again, the article is beautifully illustrated with reproductions from Libro dei sogni and with other visual elements. As a relatively new intellectual sub-discipline, the scope, the methods, the very definition of Jung History continue to grow. As editors of Phanês, we think that the thematic approach is perhaps the best way to reflect on the plurivalent relationships between psychology, history, and the meaning of Jung’s legacy that are at the core of the journal’s mission. The fact that Jung’s theories, ideas and methods continue to be relevant today is abundantly clear from the most cursory examination of the course of world events, from the destruction of the environment to the global pandemic and the responses generated by these events. As we plot a course forward through the storms, it becomes ever more important to think about our own conceptual tools and about where they come from and how they have arrived here. Our hope is that Jung History can bring something of value to our collective introspection.
