Dr. Bonfiglio will present a paper entitled "Adopting the Warrior Archetype as a Strategy for Dealing with a Dangerously Volatile World." Based on the work of Jungian psychologist James Hillman and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) psychoanalyst Edward Tick, the paper will examine the characteristics and dynamics of the warrior archetype exhibited by Cindy Sheehan and others who courageously and tenaciously address the problems of war and violence in our world.
The aim of this conference is to explore the multiple forms of contemporary and historical radicalism in a transnational context.
Featured speakers will include Michael Barkun, author of A Culture of Conspiracy and many other titles, and Frank Furedi, author of Culture of Fear, Politics of Fear, and many other books.
The conference is sponsored by the Journal for the Study of Radicalism, a subsidiary of the Michigan State University Press.
