Abstract
Abstract: The paper explores Carl Jung’s personal tendencies towards the process of colonialism on the basis of his travels to Africa and India. The psychologist’s views and interpretations of sites of the cross-cultural encounter are also taken into consideration. In order to conduct the analysis, the interdisciplinary relation between the domain of analytical psychology and postcolonialism is outlined. What is more, Jung’s key concepts are also explained. Finally, the psychologist’s travels are described and analysed in detail. The analysis shows that analytical psychology can be used to deconstruct the complex relationship between the coloniser and the colonised.
