The cry of the Pélican

Roger Faglin graduated from the Université de Paris 8 Vincennes, France, with an MA dealing with the different aspects of narrative strategy applied to Bram Stoker’s ’Dracula’. His postgraduate degree in text analysis was founded on a very diverse corpus of science-fiction texts. His confrontation with the problematic of meaning expanded his research in various domains from epistemology to computer sciences and Jungian psychology. His training as a Jungian analyst and dream interpreter led him to a deeper and personal approach of the relation between matter and psyche. Most of his research is thoroughly practical, reconnecting with the shamanic tradition on one side and the questioning of the latest developments in physics and biology on the other. He also considers that the unfolding of the feminine both in human psyche and everyday life is one of the challenges of our times. He is also cofounder and administrator of the Unus Mundus forum, an online board dedicated to discussing Dr Remo F. Roth’s research on psychophysicality. His interest in shamanic people of Central Europe orients his studies towards a reconsideration of shamanism in present Western culture
