Jung on Saturdays Webinar Series 8
2021-10-23 @ 08:00 - 09:30
When there’s a rupture in one’s life, on both the personal and the collective level, the haunting question of who we are, how we see ourselves and what do we believe in, becomes an often painful struggle with the different worlds within us.
The wave of anti-Asian violence in the United States that erupted since the Covid Pandemic, I had a brief feeling that Asian violence is finally getting the attention needed as had often been minimized. A process for the individual/collective to experience unacknowledged grief, as to move past racial troubles, was expressed by Anne Anlin Cheng, a comparative race scholar at Princeton University, when she wrote in her book
“The Melancholy of Race”: “we are a nation at ease with grievance but not with grief”. In the short time of this presentation, I hope to explore the rupture of my identity as “American”, a still ongoing and evolving process. I hope the experience will increase our consciousness as Anne Anlin Cheng wrote: “how being hated and hating can look the same”.
