Biography
Carrie B. Dohe was a guest researcher at the University of Marburg’s Department of Religious Studies from 2010 to 2015, investigating how people use discourse about the divine to justify their social and political claims. Her current research looks at religiously-motivated environmentalist movements in Germany.
‘This manuscript follows clearly within categories (a) and (b), presenting new material on the intellectual context of Jung’s writing, especially his notorious essay, Wotan, and treating it and other works by Jung, especially from the 1930s, in a fresh and stimulating manner.’ Paul Bishop, University of Glasgow.
‘I have read not only the detailed proposal but also two substantial chapters and am happy to recommend publication of this book. Dohe has done her homework, offers a tight argument, and writes most lucidly. In sum, I strongly urge the acceptance of this proposal.’ Robert Segal, University of Aberdeen.
‘This is based on an excellent PhD that already stands up as a book. The detail and the situation of her ideas within an academic consideration of these discourses sets this work apart.’ Andrew Samuels.
