Unintentional racial microaggressions and the social unconscious

Unintentional racial microaggressions and the social unconscious This article explores the social unconscious as it is manifested through unintentional racial microaggressions. It is based on a heuristic self‐search inquiry conducted by the first author, as a result of a comment made in a class in a psychotherapy education/training program, which she subsequently examined further in a Master's dissertation, supervised by the second author. The article firstly elaborates a number of contexts, that is, the immediate context that provoked the research which forms the basis of this article; the broader social context of racism in Aotearoa New Zealand and the research context, namely heuristics. This is followed by two brief discussions of racial enactments and unconscious associations, which introduce the second part of the article in which the findings of the research are presented with regard to the social unconscious, specifically, unconscious racialization, racialized positioning, and dissociated racial self‐states. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies Wiley

Abstract

This article explores the social unconscious as it is manifested through unintentional racial microaggressions. It is based on a heuristic self‐search inquiry conducted by the first author, as a result of a comment made in a class in a psychotherapy education/training program, which she subsequently examined further in a Master's dissertation, supervised by the second author. The article firstly elaborates a number of contexts, that is, the immediate context that provoked the research which forms the basis of this article; the broader social context of racism in Aotearoa New Zealand and the research context, namely heuristics. This is followed by two brief discussions of racial enactments and unconscious associations, which introduce the second part of the article in which the findings of the research are presented with regard to the social unconscious, specifically, unconscious racialization, racialized positioning, and dissociated racial self‐states.
