About the Zurich Lecture Series
|
|
The Zurich Lecture Series in Analytical Psychology was established in 2009 by the International School of Analytical Psychology Zurich (ISAPZURICH) and Spring Journal Books to present annually new work by a distinguished scholar who has previously offered innovative contributions to the field of Analytical Psychology by either:
- bringing analytical psychology into meaningful dialogue with other scientific, artistic, and academic disciplines;
- showing how analytical psychology can lead to a better understanding of contemporary global concerns relating to the environment, politics, religion; or
- expanding the concepts of analytical psychology as they are applied clinically
Each year, the selected lecturer delivers 4 lectures over a 2-day period in Zurich based on a previously unpublished book-length work. This book is then published by Spring Journal Books in a book series of which Nancy Cater, Ph.D., and Murray Stein, Ph.D., are the series editors.

About the 2013 Zurich Lectures
|
|
"Haruki Murakami and Japanese Medieval Stories:
Between Pre-Modern and Postmodern Worlds,"
by Toshio Kawai
|
Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami is considered one of our greatest living writers. He has been called by the New York Times the "unofficial laureate of Japan," "its chief imaginative ambassador," and "the primary source for millions of readers of the texture and shape" of Japan today. His novels, including Norwegian Wood (1985), The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1995), Kafka on the Shore (2005), and his magnum opus, 1Q84 (2010), seem to depict a postmodern world that has no fixed ego or stable relationships. At the same time, his works show remarkable similarities to Japanese medieval stories. In these lectures, Dr. Kawai will interpret Murakami's novels in relation to Japanese medieval stories and show that the essential features in both involve interpenetration of this world and another world and the emergence of the subject from a story without subject or borders. Further, he will investigate these features in light of the Japanese worldview and Buddhist philosophy. Finally, he will show how the pre-modern way of being is still significant for our contemporary psychotherapy and way of life.
