UFOs: Post-Jungian Perspectives

In “A Modern Myth: Objects Seen in the Sky” (1958), Jung primarily attributes UFO sightings to unconscious projections that respond to an unfulfilled religious need. Flying saucers would thus serve as the archetypal manifestation of a new myth, adapted to the technological demands of our time.

Nathan Fraikin ’s presentation will focus on how Jung’s ideas have been received by various scholars of the UFO phenomenon and will offer a post-Jungian reflection on this fascinating topic, at the intersection of psychology, myth, and contemporary culture.

We look forward to seeing many of you there.
