LA PROSSIMITÀ E LA DISTANZA | La bellezza dei legami solidali
Luigi Zoja | Don Benedetto Rossi
30 giugno 2017 ore 17.30 | OCRA Officina Creativa dell’Abitare – Montalcino (SI)
In questo secondo incontro dal titolo “La prossimità e la distanza”:

Il Prof. Luigi Zoja e Don Benedetto Rossi proporranno una riflessione su come si sia sviluppato e trasformato il comandamento di Gesù: “Ama il prossimo tuo come te stesso”. L’ampliarsi delle dimensioni del mondo in cui viviamo rende sempre più problematico, infatti, riconoscere chi è davvero il nostro prossimo: indifferenza, scomparsa dei valori tradizionali portano ad una perdita dell’oggetto della morale dell’amore. In questo panorama, la lontananza e la mediazione della tecnica – avvento dei social network – nei rapporti interpersonali sta facendo rinascere un bisogno di intimità, a volte in forme complicate, persino contorte e perverse.

From the solitude of Sophocles’s Ajax to the sickness of Shakespeare’s Othello, and from Cain to George Bush, Jr., this lecture reconstructs the emblematic arguments that paranoia has promoted in Western history. Paranoia runs away with itself, but also with our history, unless we understand history, tragic literature, and depth psychology.
While other forms of mental illness are far more immediate, such as the current plague of eating disorders, only paranoia can literally make history, as it did through Hitler and Stalin. It can take hold of events directly because, unlike much social pathology, it is contagious. Far from being individual, its dynamics are self-replicating, devouring entire societies.
This fact stems from the rigid circularity of paranoia. Masquerading behind false logic, it is fatally attractive to simpler minds. It aims straight at its goal of destruction, and to the average person its impatience is far more seductive than any political, religious, or ideological discourse.
Modern mass communication has endowed collective paranoia with an amplifying and even more self-feeding power.
This lecture will follow the development of paranoia throughout history.

Noted Italian analyst Luigi Zoja is making a rare appearance in Philadelphia to discuss his latest book, “Paranoia.”

Luigi Zoja presents an insightful analysis of the use and misuse of paranoia throughout history and in contemporary society. Zoja combines history with depth psychology, contemporary politics and tragic literature, resulting in a clear and balanced analysis presented with rare clarity. The devastating impact of paranoia on societies is explored in detail.
Focusing on the contagious aspects of paranoia and its infectious, self-replicating dynamics, Zoja takes such diverse examples as Ajax and George W. Bush, Cain and the American Holocaust, Hitler, Stalin and Othello to illustrate his argument. He reconstructs the emblematic arguments that paranoia has promoted in Western history and examines how the power of the modern media and mass communication has affected how it spreads. Paranoia clearly examines how leaders lose control of their influence, how the collective unconscious acquires an autonomous life and how seductive its effects can be – more so than any political, religious or ideological discourse.
This gripping study will be essential reading for depth and analytical psychologists, and academics and students of history, cultural studies, psychology, classical studies, literary studies, anthropology and sociology.

In this lecture, Dr. Zoja will give a brief overview of the history of paranoia and also discuss the paranoia at work in history. While other forms of mental illness are far more immediate, only paranoia can literally make history, as it did through Hitler and Stalin. It can take hold of events directly because, unlike the rest of pathology, it is contagious. Far from being individual, its dynamics are self-replicating, devouring entire societies. The charismatic leader loses control of it. Once infected, the collective unconscious, of which the leader is part, acquires an autonomous life and rolls down the slope beyond control.

This talk will be based on Dr. Zoja’s latest book Paranoia: The Madness That Makes History.

Luigi Zoja, PhD, is a Jungian analyst who lectures internationally, has taught at Universities in Italy and China, and at the C.G. Jung Institut of Zurich. He is former president of IAAP (International Association of Analytical Psychology). His previous books have been published in multiple languages.

Presented by Luigi Zoja, Ph.D.

The historical and archetypal aspects of paranoia in our culture are deeply rooted in collective shadow projections in history, and are manifested in prejudices, wars, and genocides. In his new book Paranoia: The Madness that Makes History, Zoja confronts the contagious nature of paranoia. Far from being individual, its dynamics are self-replicating, devouring entire societies, which once infected, acquire an autonomous life of their own. From the solitude of Sophocles’ Ajax, to the sickness of Shakespeare’s Othello, and from Cain to George Bush Jr., we will examine some of archetypal and psychological implications of paranoia in contemporary culture.

Course Objectives:

• Describe some of the archetypal aspects of paranoia as manifested in contemporary culture.
• Give an example of how the archetypal nature of paranoia functions in historical or contemporary culture.

Luigi Zoja, Ph.D., a native of Italy, received his diploma in Analytical Psychology from the C.G. Jung Institute of Zurich, where he has also been a training analyst. He is the past president of CIPA (Centro Italiano di Psicologia Analitica) and the IAAP (International Association of Analystical Psychology), and has taught at the State University of Palermo and the University of Insubria in Italy, and at the University of Macao in China. He is the award-winning author of numerous papers and books that have been published in fifteen languages, including Growth and Guilt, The Father, The Global Nightmare: Jungian Perspectives on September 11, (ed.), Violence in History, Culture and the Psyche and the forthcoming book, Paranoia: The Madness that Makes History.

Dr. Luigi Zoja, former President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology, will be visiting San Francisco and giving a guest lecture at the Institute on his current work on collective paranoia, the topic of his forthcoming book due out at the end of the year. This work is the culmination of ten years of preparation. Dr. Zoja will discuss collective shadow projections in history, their archetypal roots and psychological dimensions, and their manifestations in prejudices, wars, and genocides. He wrote, “Among my essays, this is the one I am most attached to because of its attempt to link archetypes and history with very urgent problems from nowadays.” Tom Singer, M.D., will introduce Dr. Zoja and serve as a discussant.

Domenica 21 maggio si terrà l’incontro organizzato dall’ARPA (Associazione Ricerca Psicologia Analticia) a proposito del carteggio Jung – Neumann.
