RESENDE, Pedro Henrique Costa de e MARTINEZ, Mateus Donia. A katábasis de C. G. Jung: dos mitos antigos às experiências visionárias modernasC. G. Jung's katabasis: from ancient myths to modern visionary experiencesLa catábasis de C. G. Jung: de los mitos antiguos a las experiencias visionarias modernas. Junguiana [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.1, pp.73-86. ISSN 2595-1297.
This article aimed to revisit C.G. Jung experiences of katabasis, or in other words the experiences of descending to the underworld, or world of the dead, followed by the return to the world of the living, the anabasis. In psychological terms, these experiences mean confronting the unconscious and the subsequent expansion of consciousness. To revisit C.G. Jung's experiences of katabasis, it was rescued historically (1) in classical antiquity through greek mythology, (2) in the medieval and modern period, through the works of Dante Alighieri, Emmanuel Swedenborg and William Blake, and (3) finally in Jung's own life with an emphasis on the constitution of The Red Book. The katabasis experiences were of vital importance to Jung and culminated in the genesis of analytical psychology. ■
