Exploring the Collective Unconscious in the Age of Digital Media

Exploring the Collective Unconscious in the Age of Digital Media was published in 2016 by IGI Global as part of their Advances in Computer and Information Sciences and Security book series. The volume was curated to address the evolving intersection of Jungian archetypal psychology and the rapid expansion of internet-based communication, providing a scholarly framework for understanding how digital platforms act as modern conduits for shared cultural symbols.

The text was compiled and edited by Stephen Brock Schafer, who sought to bridge the gap between historical analytical psychology and contemporary digital sociology. It functions as a collection of peer-reviewed research papers and theoretical essays. The work was received primarily within academic circles as a niche contribution to media studies, valued for its attempt to apply classical psychoanalytic concepts to the complexities of algorithmic culture and globalized information exchange.
