| Abstract (English): | This personal account charts the changing relationship to a Jungian identity arising from the interrelated processes of understanding the roots of the colonial and racial ideologies that underpin Jung's thinking, and a developing awareness of what it means to be a white person in a system of racism that maintains white supremacy. This is illustrated with reference to the image of a black man appearing in the dream of the white author and with use of post-Jungian thinking to critique the notion of an objective, non-racial psyche.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Esta narrativa personal describe la relación cambiante hacia una identidad Junguiana que fue emergiendo a partir de procesos interrelacionados entre la comprensión de las raíces de las ideologías colonialistas y raciales que subyacen al pensamiento Junguiano, y el desarrollo de una concientización de lo que significa ser una persona blanca en un sistema racista que mantiene la supremacía del blanco. Esto es ilustrado en referencia a la imagen del hombre negro que aparece en el sueño de un autor blanco, y a partir del pensamiento post‐Junguiano se critica la noción de una psique objetiva, no‐racial.

| Abstract (French): | Ce rapport personnel retrace l'évolution de la relation à une identité Jungienne, évolution qui découle de processus entremêlés: celui de comprendre les racines des idéologies coloniales et raciales qui sous‐tendent la pensée de Jung, et celui de devenir plus conscient de ce que cela veut dire d'être une personne blanche dans un système de racisme qui entretient la suprématie blanche. Ceci est illustré en référence avec l'image d'un homme noir qui apparait dans le rêve de l'auteur, qui est blanche, ainsi qu'en utilisant la pensée post‐Jungienne pour faire la critique de la notion d'une psyché objective, non‐raciale.

| Abstract (German): | Dieser persönliche Bericht skizziert die sich ändernde Beziehung zu einer Jungianischen Identität, die sich aus den miteinander verbundenen Prozessen des Verstehens der Wurzeln der kolonialen und rassistischen Ideologien ergibt, die Jungs Denken zugrunde liegen, und eines sich entwickelnden Bewußtseins dafür, was es bedeutet, ein weißer Mensch in einem System von Rassismus zu sein, welches die weiße Vormachtstellung aufrechthält. Dies wird anhand des Bildes eines schwarzen Mannes veranschaulicht, der im Traum des weißen Autors erscheint, und unter Verwendung des post‐Jungianischen Denkens, um die Vorstellung einer objektiven, nichtrassischen Psyche zu kritisieren.

| Abstract (Italian): | Questo resoconto personale descrive il cambiamento nella relazione con un'identità junghiana derivante dalla comprensione delle radici delle ideologie coloniali e razziali che sostengono il pensiero di Jung, ed una consapevolezza ancora in via di sviluppo di cosa significhi essere un "bianco" in un sistema di razzismo che mantiene la supremazia bianca. Questo processo è illustrato a partire dall'immagine di un uomo "di colore" che appare nel sogno dell'autore "bianco" ed attraverso l'uso del pensiero post‐junghiano viene criticata la nozione di una psiche oggettiva e non razziale.

| Abstract (Russian): | Это личное описание изменения отношения к юнгианской идентичности, которое возникло в результате взаимосвязанных процессов понимания корней колониальной и расовой идеологий, лежащих в основе мышления Юнга, а также нарастающего осознания того, что значит быть белым человеком в системе расизма, которая поддерживает превосходство белых. В качестве пояснения рассмотрен образ черного человека, появляющегося во сне белого автора. Использовано постъюнгианское мышление для критики понятия объективной, нерасовой психики.

| Abstract (Chinese): | 作为白人、作为荣格学者:荣格与非欧洲他者的相遇所了带来的启示 文中通过个人化的描述, 展现了与荣格学者身份关系的改变, 这一改变来源于对殖民与种族意识形态之根基的认识过程。这一意识形态根植于荣格的思想, 并由此发展出于白人至上的种族主义系统中, 作为白人意味着什么的认识。文章用一位在白人作者的梦中出现的黑人男性的意象来说明这一点, 并用后荣格思想来批判关于客观的、无种族的心灵的观点。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
