In Jungian Perspectives on Indeterminate States: Betwixt and Between Borders, Elizabeth Brodersen and Pilar Amezaga bring together leading international contributors to analyse and interpret the psychological impact of contemporary border crossing - both literally and figuratively. Each chapter assesses key themes such as migration, culture, gender and identity formation, through a Jungian lens.

Populistische Strömungen gewinnen weltweit an Resonanz, gleichzeitig beobachten wir ein tiefes Misstrauen in die Problemlösungsfähigkeit der Politik, in die Fairness der Wirtschaft und die Unabhängigkeit der Wissenschaft. Der Soziologe und Risikoforscher Ortwin Renn führt diese Tendenzen auf gesellschaftliche Verunsicherung angesichts gesellschaftlicher Veränderung und Komplexität zurück. In seinem Buch untersucht er die aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Ängste, ihre Ursachen und Folgen. Aufklärend zielt Renn darauf, Verunsicherung abzubauen. Zudem will Renn mit diesem Buch mehr Zuversicht in die Leistungskraft der zentralen gesellschaftlichen Institutionen, aber auch mehr Zutrauen in die eigene Gestaltungskraft wecken. Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit den Ängsten in unserer Gesellschaft, ihrer Wahrnehmung, ihren Gründen und ihrer Wirkung. Was ängstigt die Menschen derzeit genau? Was bedroht uns? Woher kommen diese Ängste? Wie können wir – individuell und kollektiv – besser damit umgehen? Und was macht es mit unserer Gesellschaft, wenn die Angst zu mächtig wird?
