The Correspondence of Victoria Ocampo, Count Keyserling, and C. G. Jung is a captivating exploration of two pivotal meetings between Victoria Ocampo and Hermann von Keyserlings in 1929, and Ocampo and Carl Gustav Jung in 1934. This book delves into the lives of these individuals and the profound impact these encounters had on their personal and public lives.
The first section of the book chronicles these meetings, which proved to be pivotal moments in the lives of the players and had far-reaching repercussions. These encounters are presented from the perspectives of the pioneering Argentine intellectual, the Baltic German philosopher, and the Swiss founder of analytical psychology, offering a multi-faceted understanding of the events.
Jung framed Keyserlings account of the encounter with Ocampo as one of the most beautiful animus-anima stories he had ever heard. However, this story, presented here from the three points of view of these influential figures, can also be read in the broader contexts of early-twentieth-century feminism, gender and sexual politics, the colonizing European gaze on the Americas, Argentina and its cultural complexities, typological impasses, and the power of words.
The fraught relationships and power dynamics among these three influential figures will captivate analytical psychologists, historians of psychological disciplines and of South America, as well as general readers. The Correspondence of Victoria Ocampo, Count Keyserling, and C. G. Jung is a testament to the enduring relevance of these historical events and the profound impact they had on the lives of the individuals involved.
