Cultural Complexes in Australia: Placing Psyche
Über dieses E-Book
The continent of Australia is the focus of this inaugural volume in which the contributors elucidate how the unique geography and peoples of Australia interact and interpenetrate to create the particular "mindscapes" of the Australian psyche. While the cultural complexes of Australia are explored with a keen eye to the specificity of place, history, context, and content, at the same time it becomes obvious that these cultural complexes emerge out of an archetypal background that is not just Australian but global.
This volume shows how cultural complex theory itself mediates between the particularity of place and the universality of archetypal patterns.
