Rockefeller and a former patient of Jung’s.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChicago-born businessman Harold Fowler McCormick (1872–1941) was born into American industrial aristocracy and developed an early interest in aviation. An officer in the Aero Club of Illinois (est. 1910), he set up a commercial commuter airline connecting Chicago’s North Shore suburbs and Grant Park with the South Shore Country Club of Chicago, of which he was a founder; the endeavour lasted only a year due to treacherous winds and an unfavourable climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, McCormick explores flying as ‘the concrete realization of many phantasies, dreams, hopes, and aspirations […] It has finally given reality in form to the former symbol, and in turn furnishees new form for new symbols with which the ever searching mind of man seizes and turns and twists for new productions to come’ (pp. 2–3). Touching on the Icarus myth, Leonardo, \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e, the Edda, and the Panchatantra, amongst other sources, McCormick discusses man’s long-standing unconscious desire for flight, innovations in aviation (including the recent use of war planes during the First World War), and the physics behind flight, illustrated by numerous diagrams in the text. \u003cstrong\u003eThe final section is a curious psychological assessment of the aeroplane itself\u003c\/strong\u003e: its ascents and descents ‘are like the ascensions and dips of life’, the biplane is characterised as an extrovert and the monoplane as an introvert, and the plane itself as a means of symbolising ‘development, under analysis, to the point of unity between “thoughts” and “feelings” in “\u003ci\u003etranscendental function\u003c\/i\u003e”’ (pp. 71–1).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe translator of the speech is unknown, but the fact that it was given at the Zurich Psychological Club is thanks to the work of Edith Rockefeller McCormick (1872–1932), married to McCormick from 1895 until their acrimonious divorce in 1921. Rockefeller had been treated for depression by Jung in 1913, later becoming a Jungian psychoanalyst in her own right; she financially supported the Zürich Psychological Club, providing the society with a physical location, and was instrumental in funding translations of Jung’s writings into English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOCLC records copies of this edition in Switzerland only; no copies of any edition traced in the UK.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: \u003c\/strong\u003e2123157\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sotherans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57347039003001,"sku":"2123157","price":500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/2178\/7426\/files\/2123157.jpg?v=1780042596"},{"product_id":"woodman-francesca-some-disordered-interior-geometries","title":"WOODMAN, Francesca.

Of this process of repurposing, she wrote ‘I’ve always printed small but the photos seemed less precious and more personal when in the books… The books started to influence the work—I made my own geometries for the geometry book’ (Woodman Family Foundation, \u003ci\u003eonline)\u003c\/i\u003e.

This also meant that she could capture different stages of movement, in a way that could trace the pattern of time. As a result, her image is blurred, which suggests motion and urgency’ (Tate), writing of her technique ‘Am I in the picture? I could be a ghost, an animal or a dead body, not just this girl standing on the corner’. \u003ci\u003eSome Disordered Interior Geometries\u003c\/i\u003e was perhaps Woodman’s answer to André Breton’s \u003ci\u003eNadja\u003c\/i\u003e (1928), one of the most iconic works of the French Surrealist movement. In 1979, Woodman wrote ‘I would like words to be to my photographs what the photographs are to the text in Breton’s \u003ci\u003eNadja\u003c\/i\u003e. He picks out all the allusions and enigmatic details of some rather ordinary unmysterious snapshots and elaborates them into a story.
